Pumpkins

I carved my first pumpkin ever I think and it was harder than I thought especially with a cheap steak knife! LOL But Cody loved it and that's all that matters. He wanted to bring it to Daddy's but I assured him the pumpkin would be just fine staying with Mommy for a day or two. Lloyd made one with them also so they got to carve a couple! We haven't decided where we are going trick-or-treating yet. If Lloyd wants to come, we will all go together in Rogers and if he doesn't the kids and I will just go in Monticello. I recently found out that our new "hometown" is affectionately called Montee ;-) It is a great little town. Has a lot to do but still the small town feel and is very clean and pretty and right on the Mississippi.

We were welcomed to Monticello with some gift cards and one of those was for Pizza Man Pizza (very good!) and the kids loved it. Adrienne learned a new word... PIZZA. LOL

Fall Pictures

We went to a pumpkin patch today and had a friend take some fall pictures of us at the state park near our home. I am considering using one for Christmas cards. I enlarged a family picture to hang on the wall.

Fall is here

Fall is definitely here now. The weather has been back and forth quite drastically... from 40s to 80s and back to 70s BUT the leaves are here! They are just gorgeous and I am hoping to get some pictures of the kiddos with them in the next couple of days here. They are definitely at prime colors so I hope I don't miss it! They are with Lloyd right now and I am finding this is the best time to get cleaning and shopping done and some much needed relaxation.

Halloween is just around the corner and Cody is excited. I haven't decided if we are going to go TOTing in Rogers where we went last year or in our new neighborhood in Monticello. I will see if Lloyd wants to come too so he doesn't miss out on it. I made an appointment to get their Christmas pics done and am excited about that. We got tickets to spend Christmas with my parents and Mickey Mouse in Florida and I have not told the kids yet and probably won't until the day before LOL.

Hopefully my next post will be Fall leaves!!
