Ashlynn and Logan when they got home from their Christmas program at school

Little Cuties

Logan being goofy and acting like kung fu panda haha

Ashlynn likes to mimic her big bro...and it drives him nuts haha. Remind you of us when we were growing up Jess? haha

Ash is showing off her new hair cut. She was all excited to have bangs. I contemplated letting her have them but they are cute

Halloween Party!!

I went to the kids' Halloween party at their school yesterday. It was too cute. Logan took his pumpkin he carved from the pumpkin patch and entered it into the pumpkin carving contest. It won for scariest pumpkin so he received a gift card for Barns and Noble Bookstore. He was excited about that :)

Logan in Line for the game "pin the nose on the pumpkin"

Hmmmm....is somebody peeking??

I hoped back and forth between Logan and Ashlynn's classes

Ashlynn was doing show and tell. She had to bring three things that started with an "A" like her name "Ashlynn."

Logan's pumpkin

Logan getting wrapped up as a mummy
I think he looks lik a pretty good mummy! Haha this little boy in his class didn't want to quit. He wanted to make sure Logan was covered good!
Logan got to help wrap up the other kids next. The class was having a competition to see who could do the best mummies in 1 minute
The school day is over...time to go!!
We went to town to exchange Ashlynn's rubber boots that were too big. It ended up being the in town tric- or-treating!! Lucky the kids were already dressed up from their halloween party....they got to trick-or-treat!!

Logan got this outfit last year and it still fit this year. He has been wearing it all the time haha. He is a funky GI Joe alien dude thingy
Trick-or-Treat!!!

Logan Loves Carving Pumpkins!!

Logan got these new rubber boots from Grandma Bev and Papa Chris. They make his feet look huge!! It's so cute! He wore them to the pumpkin patch yesterday. He went there on a field trip with his class at school. He brought home another pumpkin which he had fun carving tonight. Ashlynn got to help him clean it...they had a blast! It's so cute when they get along :)

Crazy Little Cuties

The kids and their glow wands. Logan has on his halloween costume hat, a mask he made at school and is playing with his wand...haha hmmmm I wonder who he is trying to be..

The kids were so hyper tonight laying on the kitchen floor playing...and they were too goofy and cute not to take pictures

Pumpkin Carving!!!

(My mom grew pumpkins in her garden for the kids and me this year)
Just getting started carving! I helped Ashlynn get her top off and they did the rest on their own. It's nice when they get big and I no longer have to do all of the work for them :)

They got down and dirty cleaning those pumpkins! Ash had pumpkin up to her elbows and all over her pants when she was done

Yum yum!!! Who wants a bite?!

Squishy fun!! They love those slimey pumpkin guts!

Oh no!!! Ashlynn was doing so good...but then when she went to pop out the mouth the rest of the face went with it. It was so sad. She worked so hard and then was so upset when this happen. She cried. Of course...Mommy to the rescue! I cleaned out my pumpkin super quick and gave it to her to carve. I had her draw her eyes and nose and mouth further apart this time and helped her pop out the pieces after she carved each one.

Logan did so awesome this year!! Dang! I can't believe he is big enough to do such an awesome job!

Round two!

She was much happier with this pumpkin :) She did a good job too!

All done and super happy!

Little Ashlynn's pumpkin

Ooooooo! Logan's spooky pumpkin!

All together! It was so cute.... when Ashlynn was crying about her first pumpkin, Logan went and looked at it and said, "Aww it's cute. You did good job Ash." What a sweet big brother! He can be such a butt to her most of the time. But he sure knows when to be sweet :) Ash decided her first pumpkin looks like a bunny with fluffy cheeks haha

Good Day to Walk

I decided it was a good day to go for a walk with the kids since it was so sunny and beautiful outside. I know that they have been missing me bad since I started school and am always busy studying. It was nice just to take time out and hang out with the little munchkins. We walked the road to my landlord's house. On the way back home we cut through the field that separates mine and my land lords houses. We got to see three deer on our walk so the kids were excited.

This is the tree farm that is between my landlord and my house. We went sledding down this hill last December.

Ash and me

Aww so sweet! They picked flowers for me on the way home.

Almost back to the house

Ashlynn

Logan with all of the flowers he picked me
