Welcome back from Texas Breakfast with my kids~

I took the kids out to breakfast since I have been gone on vacation with

out them in Texas...

so we had a little bonding celebration that mommy is home again!

They just love going to Mickey Ds playground to play!

The breakfast was pretty tasty too!

I love you two buttheads~

Halloween Bingo!!

BINGO!

So I found this printable Halloween Game template

on Crayola.com website!

(thank-you crayola for the neat template!)

I printed all 5 sheets out they had posted and then colored them

all with markers to match each other.

I then cut one of the game boards up to be used for the bingo caller chips.

and then I bought some candy corn for cover pieces...

and BOO-Ya we had our Bingo Game going!

Hayden, Lyza and myself started off playing until

'Lyza got tired and just wanted to eat the candy corn pieces

instead of actually covering her board! ha

Soo, Hayden and myself killed a good 30 minutes just playing Bingo

over and over again while eating a few candy corns in between! hee

I couldnt believe how into this Halloween BINGO Hayden was...

he kept saying ONE MORE GAME! Just one more game!

I finally felt bad when I told him I had to finish up some chores

and get ready for work tomorrow and we had to end our

BINGO Marathon!!

Maybe we will play again this week I said~

I highly recommend printing out this BINGO game, especially if you

have 3-6 yr olds! The pictures make it super easy for the kids

to understand what to cover and Hayden was loving the Halloween theme!

Next time I need to buy a bigger bag of candy corn though~
BINGO!!

Pumpkin Carving Time~

Well after getting our pumpkins at the Boyds Pumpkin Farm

yesterday we needed to carve them out!

So here are our pics from the pumpkin carving fun we had!!!

Lyza was really into the pumpkin guts and scooping them

out with a big giant spoon... of course it was fun

to scoop with her hands too!

Hayden was way more into the CARVING part this year...

Im thinking it has something to do with MEN and TOOLS! hee hee

He was all about using the pumpkin carving tools on his pumpkin!

He did a pretty good job with the supervision of Daddy of course.

Lyza loved the homemade PUMPKIN SANDBOX that we made

with all the pumpkin guts.

She loved the squishyness of it...FUN!

She helped carve her Pumpkin but wasnt as excited

about the carving part and decided to go back to throwing

the mushy guts in the box around!

TAA-DAAA!

Hayden with his Pirate Skull pumpkin
and
Lyza with her Little Mermaid pumpkin~

If we had of bought more pumpkins I think we would have
been carving them out all night!
They wanted to make more designs with all kinds of pumpkins! ha ha
Everyone had a great time though, the kids just love Halloween time.

May you & yours have fun carving out your own pumpkins as well~
Halloween is almost here!!
yippeee!

Its the Great Pumpkin!!

Thank-you Boyd's Pumpkin Patch once again for

another beautiful crop of pumpkins to pick from!!!

The kids and I headed up to Boyds this afternoon and

enjoyed the sunshine while trying to find the perfect pumpkin to carve~

I recommend going to Boyds off Exit 11 since they have many sizes & shapes to

choose from and they are always priced perfectly to fit a budget!

(we got our two pumpkins for around $6 bucks~

pretty good if ya ask me, since Hayden got a BIG one!)

The kids loved watching the tractor go out into the pumpkin patch

to get more pumpkins for sale~

back in my day we were allowed to go out into the field and

pick our very own pumpkin right off the vine-good times!

Look at all those bright beautiful orange pumpkins!!

Hayden how ever will you decide which one to take home?

'Lyza is the sun in your eyes? hee hee

'Lyza needed help picking out her pumpkin since she didnt care really

and only wanted to run through the pumpkins and play among them!
Whoa you got the 'GREAT PUMPKIN' Hayden!
(My I remember your first trip to this pumpkin patch when you were
not even a year old yet and now look at you! Look how big my baby boy is! sniff sniff)


Well, one last shot for the BLOG guys!
I cant wait to see how you guys grow from this pic in a few years~
It truly makes my heart sad when I know that these days are
passing by so fast and my precious bebe's are growing up overnight!
Hayden & Lyza remember that no matter what you will always be my babys~
and I will always be your mommy!

I love you both very much...
dont ever forget that you are everything to me~

Love your Mommy,
