Carving pumpkins

Our Daddy bought us pumpkins for Halloween, and yesterday we carved them into Jack-O-Lanterns! Well, he did the carving and I helped. Katie didn't want anything to do with them.

She was curious at first.

She wanted to know what the goopy stuff was inside the pumpkins. My job was to get all that stuff out.

It was very hard work, but I loved it.

Daddy tried to get her to help...

but she didn't want to! Notice her arms tucked tight behind her back. I think the goop was too slimy. Silly girl.

I had a ball with it!

Katie observed from a distance.

Mommy showed me how to mash the goopy stuff in my hands- so fun!

I had to thump on the bottom to get the last seeds out.

Mommy said it's a miracle the pumpkin is still intact.

Katie's pumpkin has a kitty and bats on it!

Mine has a scary face. Eeeek!

I loved this, and now I want to do it every weekend!

Pre-Bedtime Shenanigans

We like to try to get into all kinds of mischief before bedtime. My big brother told me that delays the bedtime itself. Here are some pictures from when Mommy and Daddy were trying to get us to go night night.

I read books as a delaying tactic. Secretly, I just like to read!

This book was very entertaining.

If I look pretty, Mommy might forget!

I tell her the sounds all the animals make. Mooooo!

My big brother likes to run around and play outside. Mommy told me that just makes him sleepier, but that's a secret. Shh.

He was playing King of the Dirt Pile.

He loves to run!

There he goes again!

Lat night he started riding his old Big Wheel, too.

I don't have any idea what he was doing in this picture, but it was SO funny! Mommy laughed and laughed when she saw it.

He hurt his toe, and you know boys- he thought the thing was going to fall off. Boys are wimps, I'm learning VERY quickly.

He was showing off his picture he made in school!

But, finally, we both caved in and went to sleep...

Around our house

We do a lot of playing around our house, as you'll see in these pictures. I'm still dressed in my jammies, and I'm eating some cereal. I got to eat it right from the bag!!!!

Katie likes to take her dollies for rides in the shopping cart, just like our Mommy does with us in the big shopping carts.

She's showing Mommy what the Steelers do.

I'm learning how to dance, and I practice all the time!

Mommy baked scones last weekend. They were VERY good, especially when she put this stuff on them. It was like jelly, only not. It was called Lemon Curd. It sounds yucky, but I loved it!

See? Yum!

Showing off my running shoes.

And Katie was busy looking at her new shoes, too!

Play time

I'm all ready for nightnight. We play hard in my house!!!

My big brother's kitty had a bath today. Conner loves her a lot, so he was glad to have her back.

See? Kitty is all clean!

Kitty and Nanners are Conner's best friends.

My Daddy shares his food with me, and I open my mouth like a baby bird to show him I'm ready for a bite.

I have my Daddy well trained!

Conner was eating pizza, and he was SO happy with it!

Our Mommy makes us pancakes, and I open my mouth for them too. I can feed myself, though.

Sometimes I have temper tantrums. Mommy took this picture, and I was not happy. That's all the discussion we need to have on this issue.

Lately I've been playing with my dollies a lot. I carry them around and say "dolly" and hug them and rock them and I even take them for rides in my shopping cart.

Mommy likes to take me to see dollies in the store, and I like to look at them. I heard about some really neat dollies called American Girls. How long until I can have one of them, I wonder???
