Sweet and silly!

Grandma and Grandpa requested a photo session, so we made plans to do one after picking Luken up from school one afternoon. When we got to school, we learned that he had bitten his tongue at the end of the day, and was a little upset, as well as hungry. Grandma thought ice cream would make both matters much better, and suggested the custard place downtown!



Keeley got a tiny cone.


Looks like she was in heaven! :D


Luken had a sundae with gummy bears and oreo cookies, yum!




Grandma shared her cherries with the kids!






Luken was also feeling very generous, and gave out lots of bites!






Keeley really enjoyed eating the gummy bears!








What fun!!!






Luken's tongue and tummy were both much better after this! :P

Pumpkin carving!

More fun with Grandma and Grandpa!!!

Luken and I picked out a couple of pumpkins one afternoon on our way home from an errand, and I recruited Grandma and Grandpa to help the kids carve them while I took pictures.

Luken was certain he wanted a scary one!!




Keeley played along!


Lifting the lids off.




Ewwww... the guts are so squishy!






Nooooooo!


Keeley was not so sure about this part...


So, she decided to be obnoxiously cute, instead!






Grandpa sketched out a few possibilities for Luken to ponder, and he made his selection.






Yep, Keeley's still being cute!






Luken helping out!


And then some goofiness!




Keeley is still not sure about this...




She did help out a bit, though!


SHE wanted a "pretty" pumpkin!


'Cause she's a pretty pumpkin, haha!




And here are the pumpkins, as displayed on Halloween!

You can stand under my umbrella...ella...ella.. eh, eh!

Luken LOVES his new octopus umbrella! We haven't really had any rain since he got it, though. We had a few showers one day, and so he took the umbrella for a spin on a trip to the mailbox. :D





Hmm... there's not really any rain out here.


Oh, well... soon enough, I'm sure!
