Carving Pumpkins

Image
So last night Jim surprised the girls with a HUGE pumpkin and carving tools to make a jack-o-lantern.  They were so excited about doing it, since it was late we decided that this was going to be a fun family activity for the morning.  As I was getting everything ready to carve the pumpkins, Jim was cutting the tops off.  Maggie didn't even want to try to clean the pumpkin, so mommy got stuck doing hers plus the big one.  Eva did her little pumpkin that she got on her field trip mostly by herself.  I had to help a little bit.  Once that was done it was time to carve the faces.  We made them all with happy silly faces.

Roller Skating

Today I had an opportunity to volunteer at Eva's school for a special activity.  In her gym class they have been doing roller skating and there were 3 different dates that parents could come and volunteer on.  I picked today because I didn't have to worry about Maggie because Eva's gym class was during Maggie's preschool.  Eva was so happy to see me even thought she knew I was coming.  I had so much fun helping the children get all their pads, skates and helmets on.  I had so much fun watching Eva and all the children trying so hard to skate and weren't afraid when they would fall.  Eva would fall but then she would just get back up.  I am so glad that I was able to brighten up her day.

I can't believe my little Maggie has taken her first school pictures.  I really like the way they came out and she is soo adorable.
