Spilling our guts!

Carving the pumpkins is normally something Darrin and I really enjoy. This year was different. We put it off, and put it off, I think we were secretly hoping that they would just carve themselves! Finally on Monday night we couldn't put it off anymore. We dragged out our 4 pumpkins and ended up carving just 1, but at least we can say we did carve a pumpkin.

Spooky Kooky!

I love Halloween, I love dressing up, but even more then that I love deciding what we are going to be that year. I was really rooting to be the Incredibles this year, but Darrin just wasn't convinced of the spandex! So instead he came up with this clever theme, well see if you can figure it out! See answer below if you can't.

We're Tarzan, Jane, and the monkeys of course! If I still don't look familar I am the Jane from the cartoon.

Photo Session

Being the 3rd child, I have to hold to tradition and not really do much for our little Eden. Which means, that she has never had professional pictures taken of her alone. (unlike Jaya who I think I took 1 prof. picture every 3 months!) So I was feeling pretty bad for her, but not bad enough to actually attempt taking 3 kids to the photo studio, so we made our own. Here are the pics...
Eden Case at 8 months. It's the first picture, that we picked to hang on the wall.

Quite a Trip!

So this Sunday I thought we were doing so good, getting up early to get all the girls ready for church. We were getting there early so we could sit up near the front because Jaya was going to be in the primary program. We actually got everyone dressed, hair done and were now shouting for everyone to get in the van. That's when we heard the earsplitting scream from Jaya. Now you would think I would have started running, but no, I took my time because to be quite honest I hear earsplitting screams all day long, which are usually a result from a toy being taken away. This time was different, as I slowly made my way out the door, the screaming didn't stop. Darrin beat me to the punch and brought in a bloody Jaya. After examining her wound we decided instead of the church we would visit the emergency room.

She ended up getting 7 stitches in her chin. She did great and is healing quickly. So, that's two of my three girls that have had stitches now, and I have decided two things #1. I will no longer be the one there when they do the stitching (after asking if I could sit down and lots of long slow breaths I came to this realization) and #2. I am realizing that I can stay calm, even when my children are spurting blood. And actually if it weren't for fact #1 maybe when Eden gets her stitches I could do the stitching!
