Pumpkin Carving

We carved a pumpkin yesterday (Sunday)...well actually Victor carved and we watched, lol. We went ahead and carved it outside since the weather was so nice! Bryson was really into it until his best bud, Corban came outside then it was all over...he was running around playing with his buddy. Caleb, on the other hand, just sat in his chair and watched. I got the fun job of helping get all the yuckiness out of the pumpkin. We saved the seeds to roast later, which were quite yummy I might add! The final product turned out nice! Victor has the brilliant idea of carving 4 pumpkins next year. He must have really enjoyed that pumpkin carving, huh!? Anyways we had a fun time. Now on to the pictures

Well this week was pretty uneventful since Caleb was sick. He was not a happy camper most of the week. He started acting more like himself yesterday so we went to the library. They were more interested in a giant bead maze toy than actually looking at the books. Why oh why do libraries put toys in the children's section!? I thought the library was to read!! Anyways I got them to look at a few books before heading out. The boys LOOOVVVE the outdoors so we spend alot of time playing outside and going to parks. So glad that it is finally cooling off!! The Texas heat here in the Dallas area is a killer! We went on a walk yesterday to hunt for acorns. Bryson likes to look for them and put them in the back of his tricycle.

Bryson thinks playdoh is the best thing!! I like it too because it keeps him occupied for longer than 3 minutes, haha.

Caleb with a cookie this week being oh so cute!

The boys at the library.

The boys playing. Caleb loves that little car. It has a button on the steering wheel you press to make it go and he just thinks it is so much fun to press and release, press and release. This was Bryson's old car but Caleb is really enjoying it. Bryson is so funny on his tricycle because he WILL NOT peddle. He just pushes himself with his feet. We keep trying to get him to peddle but he says, "I can't, I can't." He just really isn't trying...silly boy!

We Have The Sickies!

We were in Lubbock this past weekend to celebrate Brock's (my handsome little nephew) Birthday!! Bryson just had a blast playing with his cousins, meme, and grandparents. He really enjoys visiting Lubbock! We had a great time! My kids developed a cold while we were there. Bryson couldn't stop long enough to realize he was sick but Caleb on the other hand was just not acting himself. No smiles or laughter from my little man. The drive back to McKinney was a nightmare. Caleb was just miserable. He did not sleep that night and would not eat the following day. He would just cry and cry, sooo my mommy instincts told me it was time to go to the doctor. It was about 7 pm and we headed to my pediatricians after hours facility. Good thing I did because he has an ear infection, red throat, and viral infection with small blisters in his mouth, no wonder he is not eating or drinking. My poor little guy!! Hopefully the medicine will kick in and I will have my happy boy back!

We went to a pumpkin patch at a local church with Lindsey and Brock while we were in Lubbock. This is the best I could do at getting a picture of all 3!
