Pomegranates

Maybe we are just sheltered, but Mike and I had never had a pomegranate before, really didn't know much about them. So, we were in the store the other day, and there they were, with the instructions on how to eat them. We bought one out of sheer curiosity. They actually aren't too bad!



New Home For Toys

Collin spends hours entertaining himself this way. He empties the toy boxes and stuffs them all behind my room divider/screen. Big goof!



Birthdays

We had 2 birthday parties yesterday. Papa Ron had a party in the afternoon, and Ashton had one in the evening. It was fun! Please excuse all of the red eye, not sure what was going on with that!

Ashton opening presents, with a little help!

Enjoying the yummy cake!

Playing football in the yard with Papa Ron and Grandma Joyce

Papa got a "puppy" for his birthday, and Collin liked it

Halloween Night

My beautiful Cinderella...thank you Aunt Becky for the dress!
My cute little Pooh Bear...notice he had to have snacks to hold still for a picture! He loved getting candy, but then he would take it and put it in everyone else's bags..he likes to share.

Cinderella and her "prince charming"...she said Collin was her prince


The group ready to go


We even got to see miniature donkeys...Collin LOVED that, although we need to work on animal sounds a little more. He kept saying "moo"! Him and Kyle are buddies, so I thought it was cool that they were together for this picture.
Then we went to Wesley and Marjorie's and roasted hot dogs. It was a fun evening!






Halloween Day

We had Maycee over and made turkeys yesterday. Yes, that is right, turkeys on Halloween! :) Kendra had been wanting to do this for awhile, and it was my day off, so that is what we did. The girls had fun, and I think they turned out pretty cute for a 4 year old craft!

Having fun painting

The finished turkey...they are crayon/marker holders


They had just as much fun slopping the paint around on the plate!

Our Day-Garrett's Party, and Kid's Club

Pumpkin Patch

Renee and I took the kids to the Pumpkin Patch in McCook and did a little shopping yesterday. It was a good time, and a really nice day.
