Pumpkin Carving with Grandma and Grandpa

Our pumpkin patch plans fell through this year. Charlie was sick and the weather was less than ideal. Instead of spending the day in the cold, we had an indoor pumpkin party. We picked up pumpkins and Grandma and Grandpa came over for dinner and helped the kids carve.  We finished with two of the best pumpkins we have ever had and lots of seeds to eat. It was a pumpkin carving success.

Halloween Practice

Evy is practicing her scary faces for Halloween. I think this one will scare everyone! 

Unicorn Love

Evy loves unicorns. Every time she makes a wish on a star she wishes for a real, live unicorn with wings. We went to an art class today and she was told to pick a small piece of pottery, but she saw the unicorn and it was love at first sight. The teacher felt compelled by those blue eyes and let her have the unicorn. She painted it and it will be glazed and ready next week. She can't wait! 

Go Cubs Go!

Auntie Colleen has the coolest job ever and scored the whole family Cubs tickets for the first post-season game! This was Charlie's first time seeing a post-season game and it was an exciting game and they won 2-1. Woo-Hoo! It was a great afternoon with family and everyone loved watching Charlie's enthusiasm throughout the game.

Evy wanted to join in on the fun and decided to try on dresses with me. She's "so fancy"!
