Pumpkin Party

Lane's Kindermusic Pumpkin Party was today and Daddy made a surprise appearance. This is HUGE because we haven't seen Daddy much recently. He is working so hard and often that we don't see much of him. As Lane and I are walking downstairs every morning, Lane tells me, "Daddy work."

However, he was with us today and we had a blast!! We sang songs, played games and made pumpkin pie muffins and rice pumpkins. I don't have a pic of the pumpkin muffin b/c I was helping Lane but they were soooo cute. It's basically a vanilla wafer in the bottom of a muffin pan, pumpkin pie filling topped with 5-6 marshmallows. 400 degrees for 15 minutes...YUM!

Kindermusic is such a fun activity for Lane because it mixes two of his favorite past times; books and music. The pumpkin party was just an added benefit. :)

Justin and I have reached an all time low...we attempted to cut Lane's hair ourselves. Any girl would and SHOULD be jealous of the amount of hair and volume this little boy possesses. For a boy though, it means haircuts every two weeks. The last visit to the barber was basically a "buzz" cut and it was the cutest haircut he has had. So, Justin decides all we need to do is buy a guard for his clippers and "viola!" haircut at home!

My only comment, never again.

Here is Lane trying to get Averi out the door to go to the groomers. Averi is a little little dog but he has some massive strength when it comes to getting away from Lane. Lane, on the other hand, is a very strong little boy. I think Averi won this battle though.... immediately following the snap of this picture Averi turned around and took off running to the dining room where Lane refused to let go until he banged into the door frame thus letting Averi go. Ooohh how I miss my mobile groomer in Delaware.

Have a great one!!

Much love,
