Ahoy, Matey!

Caleb was a pirate for Halloween this year and he looked incredibly adorable! I'm really surprised that he kept the scarf on his head but I think he was enjoying the outfit. On Friday I took him to the trunk or treat at the church and man was he excited to go to a Halloween party. I guess all day at Grandma and Grandpa Smiths he was asking when the party was. He had a blast!

Pumpking Carving

On Wednesday Chris, a friend of ours, Reuben and I sat down and carved pumpkins. The first pumpkin is mine the second pumpkin is Reuben's and the last one is Chris's. We had a fun time carving them but Chris sure did have problems with his. Once he finally got the top off we realized that it was about 4-5 inches thick throughout the pumpkin. A pie probably could have been made with the lid alone! So, needless to say he couldn't carve enough of the inside out for the light to show through the pumpkin. But it still looks cool anyway!

Halloween Decorations

My absolute favorite decoration growing up was this ghost holding a pumpkin. My mom was nice enough to pass it on to me and I was so excited to get it. This ghost was handmade by someone in the family so that makes it even more special.

Halloween Village

This is my village that I put up every year. It's one of my favorite decorations.

Decorating Cookies

Yesterday Acacia (Reuben's niece) came over and we went to the Super Saturday (crafts) at the church and then we came back to the house and we decorated cookies. We had tons of fun and thoroughly enjoyed taking our time decorating these cookies. Some are a little morbid but it was so fun! Anyway, the first set of pictures are the ones that I did and the second set are the pictures Acacia did.

Comfy Caleb

About a week ago I was folding laundry and had just finished folding and putting the clothes in piles on the floor. I decided to go on the computer for a few minutes and when I went back into the living room I found Caleb, his blankets and his doggy all snuggled into the basket. He looked so cute and comfortable! Then Simon decided to join him. Silly Kid.
