Jack-O-Lanterns

Daddy carved Jacob's pumpkin and Mommy carved Katie's pumpkin. But Daddy gets credit for doing the dirty job of hollowing them out. This year we let Jason do his pumpkin himself.

Does this look like trouble? First Jason fell off the counter and bumped his head on the windowsill, then he cut his finger with the carving saw. He started it on Monday and finished it today. (Mommy broke two saws and had to go buy more so he could finish.) Despite the injuries he insisted on doing it all himself. Good job Jason!

Jason lost a tooth

I took a picture of Jason earlier today because he had a loose tooth that was hanging and ready to come out. A few hours later it was out. Last night he said he couldn't get to sleep because his tooth was too distracting, I'm glad it's finally out so he can get some sleep. This is only his 3rd lost tooth so he's still pretty excited about it. We think he swallowed his 2nd lost tooth because he suddenly realized after dinner that it wasn't there anymore. So this will be only his 2nd visit from the tooth fairy.

Ye Olde Pumpkin Patch

We took the kids on our annual trip to the pumpkin patch.

What's a visit to the pumpkin patch without a ride in the wheelbarrow? Jason was denied a ride, Daddy said he's too big.

This is the best picture of Kami alone, the sun was too bright (which was a surprise considering we're in Washington) and we couldn't get her to look up.

Can you tell he's saying "cheese!"

Kami asleep

This is in the corn maze. I'm talking to Julie on my cell phone.

Roll over...roll over....

Last week Kami rolled over for the first time. I immediately grabbed my camera and tried to get a video of her in action. Of course she wouldn't do it again. Then the next day when Katie saw her rolling over she grabbed the camera and got some video. So here's video of Kami rolling over and keep in mind the camerawoman is 5 years old.

Kamers

Okay, I finally got a good picture of Kami smiling. She is so much fun, everyone in our family is enjoying having her around. I have to remind myself Jacob's a big brother now and Kami will always be everyone's little sister. The kids have come up with several nicknames for her like Kiwi and Kamers, and I never have a hard time finding someone to hold her. She's definitely the sunshine at our house.
