Trick-or-treating

We headed out for some trick-or-treating fun tonight. This is the first time we have taken the boys out and we all had lots of fun. The weather was beautiful and it was a nice evening to be out walking around. We came home with lots of candy. We sorted out the peanut candy for Dad and Mom and now we all have candy to enjoy for the next few days.

The Monster

It was pumpkin carving day in the Carlson house today. First of all we rolled The Monster up the stairs so we could begin our handywork. Thank you Nana for growing us such a nice pumpkin to carve! Micah wasn't really into it too much, he had more fun playing toys, but Ethan had fun cleaning it out and helping Daddy carve it. Micah helped Mommy a little bit with his pumpkin.

Getting all the guts cleaned out. Ethan loved doing it but not Micah.
Ethan and his finished pumpkin. He then wanted to draw on it with the black crayon to make it more pretty.

And then it was time for a little wrestle time with Daddy before he had to leave for work.

Pumpkin Patch

We headed to the pumpkin patch/apple orchard today. It was a perfect fall morning for a hayride and picking out a pumpkin. We met a big group of friends and had a nice morning, thanks Sara for setting it up.

Ethan all ready for the hayride.

Ethan picked out this pumpkin.
Getting them both to look at the camera was impossible!

Storytime

We were getting ready for Bible Study on Wednesday morning and as I was running around the house getting things put together I called to the boys that it was time to go. Ethan replied with, "I'm reading to Micah and we need to finish our book." I went into Micah's room and this is what I saw. What a cool brother moment!
