Not how I imagined it!

For some reason, I had created this wonderful image of us making a wonderful memory of carving our 1st pumpkin! Well..it was a memory alright! Just check out that face! I think it perfectly tells you the attitude she had during the carving of our pumpkin!

Baker loves to smell everything!

Baker usually dives into everything she does, but like her daddy, she thinks the insides of a pumpkin are disgusting.

I'm not creative when it comes to drawing or carving, but I think it turned out OK. Baker did think it was pretty cool lit up!

Fall Festival Fun!

This was our 2nd year going to Trinity's Fall Festival. Last year, Baker wasn't even walking. It's amazing how much she's changed in 1 short year! She could've stayed in the jumping castle all night! Check out the video at the end! She was the youngest kid to go down the inflatable slide. One time was not enough for Baker. We did that slide 5 times! If she would've had her way, she would've done it by herself. My legs , back and arms are feeling the pain. It rained early in the evening, so the steps were slippery. It was a sight to see us going up those steps! She was slipping, I was slipping and I'm so thankful we didn't fall! I would've crushed her.

She is showing off her new addition to the family, a goldfish! Oh yes! I was shocked it made it home alive. At one point, Baker put the bag on the floor and the fish was laying on it's side, with no water! I told her it would hurt the fish to be out of the water, so she kissed the bag.

Her Bebe would be proud! Baker had her 1st taste of cotton candy! She really didn't know how to eat it and I wasn't going to encourage her. That's all I needed, a 2 year old jacked up on pure sugar!

Baker had so much fun and I was so happy we decided to go!

Pump-Pumps

Last weekend, Baker and I enjoyed an afternoon of painting pumpkins. We had a great time visiting with friends and spreading paint from "pillar to post".

Baker added her own touches to our spider pumpkin. We have these pumpkins displayed at our backdoor and every day she walks past the pumpkins she says "My pump-pumps". "I paint." "Mommy paint."

I know she's going to love carving a pumpkin!

Wordless Wednesday

A Different Kind of Weekend

Some of our best friends, DeAnne and AJ, made a trip from Beaufort to visit us this weekend with their son, Noah. It was just a few short years ago, we use to see them several times a month. We use to spent many weekends tailgating and celebrating Clemson football. Tailgating was truly a weekend event for us. Well..things have changed since we both have kids. It's a good change! The guys went to the game while DeAnne and I chased the kids around the house and the yard. We had a wonderful time catching up, cooking, eating, laughing, and making tailgating plans for the Clemson-Carolina game! Can you tell who doesn't get to sit on the counter very often?
