more cabin time...ahhhh

We have been spending some good quality time at the cabin...it is nice! Carson and Gage have been taking medicine in the form of pills. So when Toby opened his skittles candy and poured it into his cup...he told me it was "his pill candy." I just had to laugh!

I am crafty (or I like to consider myself that) so I try to make my kids crafty too!
I love to make homemade "to and from" cards for presents...well this year I have helpers!

Watching daddy build a fire...Harley is quite interest too! Yep, the dogs go down to the cabin with us too...Maggie and Harley just load right up on the golfcarts too. They expect to go!

Mornings are chilly down there...still in jamamas (our word for PJs) with "fairy hair" warming up by the wood stove. It will heat up this place like an oven!

I'm sure Thanksgiving week we will be down there a lot!

Mac for Halloween!

Mac was an Indian and his 2 husky dogs were his wolves!

Playing on the swings while waiting on everyone else to pick out their pumpkins!

Carving Pumpkins

We carved pumpkins this year. I guess it will be a new tradition b/c the kids liked it. I made them clean out the "guts." Ugh! Carson is the one who demanded that we carve pumpkins!

Nana came out to help with the project with I sooo appreciated!
We did not do much planning...just cut then top off, scrap out guts, freehand with a knife the faces. For 2 pumpkins it took like 25 minutes. Fast...

Gage with his pumpkin

Toby kissing the pumpkin

Crazy faces with the pumpkins

Finally a cute one of Toby with the pumpkins even though he is finishing his ice cream sandwich which he was not going to let go of without a fight...so I picked my battle!

Yes, one pumpkin had buck teeth...Carson's request.

Gage and Natalie (and Toby)

Gage (oh my) is going to drive me crazy. Natalie is one of his little girlfriends at Shelia's.

They just get "giddy" when they see each other. She always give me so many hugs. Her mom knew right where to find her when she say Gage running around the gym.
Ummm...Toby thought she was a pretty little girl too and wanted his picture with her!

Finally a cute pic where they are no sooo teased! I love seeing Gage interact with his friends...it is so neat watching this little guy grow up...even thougt he will be the one to give me gray hair!

Happy Halloween!

artwork

Carson read a book at school "Bread and Jam for Frances" and this was his illustration.

I loved it! Carson said "Mama, this is bread and jam and this is Frances!"

For Columbus Day: can you read his cursive handwriting...in 1492 Columbus sailed the ocean blue! So proud of this little guy and how far he had come in 4 yrs at Magnolia!
Gage and Toby making forts in my laundry baskets with lots of pillows and blankets!
