Pumpkin Carving...

The annual pumpkin carving event! Halloween started out a little disappointing when we found two of our pumpkins SMASHED and destroyed in the street. Apparently some fun loving hooligans made their way up and down the street spreading their Halloween cheer. Jalyn was devastated! It was her pumpkin that was smashed and she had worked really hard at the pumpkin patch to find the perfect one. It was so sad and after some consoling, she was willing to take Mom's pumpkin and work her carving magic. Shane went to the grocery store and got another pumpkin with the free coupon he got from school. Thankfully it all worked out and the carving was deemed successful!

Mariah missed out on the carving fun. She had been up in the night throwing up and didn't feel well all day. I washed and sanitized her bed, as well as Shane's, scrubbed the bathrooms, and wiped down every doorknob (we do NOT need sickness in our home). Hopefully we got it all. After a few hour nap, Mariah was up and ready to party. Poor thing. I am glad she felt better so she could go out with Thing 1. It just wouldn't have been the same if Thing 1 had to go by herself.
