Carving the pumpkins

So the day before Halloween we got our pumpkins carved. Well at least two of the six pumpkins that we grew. Jason was awesome about getting them all ready. He asked Zoe what she wanted she wanted a happy face. He asked Kaleb and he wanted a mean or scary face. So for some reason I didn't get a picture of the happy one but I did the other one.

Jason carving it out. Also on the counter there is a container with a red lid. We had 6 to 8 lady bugs living in it for about a week and a half until the leaf we put in it started to go moldy but Zoe loved the things until the end.

The scary pumpkin for Kaleb.

Hailey up helping dad. She would stick her hand into the guts and then smell her fingers. She was quite excited to stand up by dad.

Halloween 2011

Our cute kids all dressed up for the trunk or treat at the church. When we picked out the outfits Kaleb wanted the swat one because it had all sorts on pockets and things in them. Zoe for the passed two years has been a witch and she wanted to continue to be a witch. When we first got it for her she said she was an evil witch but by Halloween she said she was a good witch. Hailey we picked her cheerleader outfit because it would fit her also it had long sleeves.

Musical furniture the after pictures

So after 2 or so hours Jason had the bed up and we moved some furniture around in the kids rooms. This is what this room ended up looking like.

The book case moved and we moved a different dresser into the room.

I put the books into the closet where some blankets used to live.



The toy box was moved into the closet.
The bunk bed all finished and the crib right next to it. So the crib will stay there until the new baby we are going to have is big enough to sleep in a real bed.

Musical Furniture the before pictures

So we decided to rearrange the rooms since we will be adding to our family. Here are the before pictures. In theory this room will end up being the boys room. Right now it is Hailey's room.

Kaleb is 5 years old

So our little boy isn't so little. He turned five this week. It's crazy to think that we have a 5 year old boy. So we made a brownie cake for him. Since he won't eat cake. We didn't celebrate until dad got home. We opened up his presents. He got some jammies and some fun things from Grandma Kathy and Grandpa Ed the day before. We opened up his cars Lego's that we had gotten him. Dad helped put them together. Then we went to McDonald's for dinner so Kaleb could have french fries. We came home and had his brownie cake. He didn't want to eat the frosting.

kids and a pretend nap on the floor

The kids decided to get pillows and blankets and play on the floor. So I took pictures because it was cute.

Hailey is sitting on her pillow and her blanket.

Zoe hugging her pillow.
Kaleb I am not sure where he picked it up but he is doing the peace sign.

A first for Hailey

I know this might sound funny. But because Hailey is a healthy girl she just doesn't fit in jean. But I finally got some that fit. The button didn't stay closed but I got them on her. So these pictures are the first ones that I have of Hailey wearing jeans.

Zoe wanted to be in the picture with Hailey. Kaleb is building in the back ground.
This is what Hailey does lately to me when I try to take her picture. She gets as close as she can to me and the camera. At least this one turned out.

more pictures of the kids

Here are some more pictures of the kids.

The kids playing on the slide. It isn't quite big enough for all of them to stand on it at once.
