Sunday we went to Debbie's house and carved pumpkins. Every year we go to her house for Halloween and do something fun. This year we weren't sure when we were going to get to have a dinner, so we decided to do something new and try pumpkin carving with nine kids. The kids had so much fun painting their pumpkins and digging the gunk out (actually Kadee wouldn't touch the gunk!). Rory and Derek carved some really cool pictures into Valyssa and Kadee's pumpkins and did a really good job. I didn't get a picture of Derek's though, because when Valyssa picked it up she knocked out the center of his carving. She was devastated! We kept telling her it was ok, but she felt so bad about it. Debbie had treats, so after we were done painting and carving the kids had cookies and jumped on the tramp. They all love their oldest cousin Taylor, so they took turns riding him like a bull. He is such a great sport and made sure everyone that wanted a turn got one. Poor Zac was sick with a fever, so he spent the evening in the house. My kids love our little family traditions and always look forward to them. They can't wait to see what we cook up next!

In my last post I mentioned that I bought some stuff to make Tutu's. Well here is the finished product. It was so easy and actually lots of fun. The best part is that I didn't have to sew one bit (I hate sewing). I think it turned out really cute and I can't wait to get back up to the fabric store to buy more tulle.
Yes, Kadee is standing in first position. She is such a little ballerina

How did you get past sewing the elastic together? Share your secret? I don't hate to sew, but I always screw it up, so I'm afraid to do it. But Joey wants me to sew him a cape for Halloween. We'll see.
