It is pumpkin carving time! So the Gebben's got out their carving tools, found the perfect pumpkins and got to work. This year we cheated a little bit and followed a pattern. The kids each picked out one and Mom did too. Then Mom traced the pattern and the kids cut it out. All by themselves. I know, that seems like no big deal, but to Mom it was! I let them do it all. Even clean up around the openings. I have this weird control issue about carving pumpkins! So I just stuck to my own and let them go to town. They turned out really good. Who knew that my kids were pro pumpkin carvers! Maybe next year we can start a business! Okay, maybe not!

Hey All, as most of you know the last week or so has been a difficult one. But this last weekend we almost got back to normal. Tyler and Breyanna both had soccer games Saturday morning. Breyanna scored her first goal and Tyler and his team won their first game! Yea! Sunday we went apple picking. It was a beautiful day, almost 80, and we met Nick and Kay and the kids. My kids found the biggest apples and even posed for a few pictures. Then we all went out to eat. So that was our fun weekend.
