"Devin's First Pumpkin Carving"


This was so much fun to do with our son this year. Ever since I have known chris, which is 9years now. His family has always done pumpkin carving every year, I have always loved this tradition. This year though was even more special, because it was with our little Devin. Chris and I decided to do it our house and have both of the grandparents over. They ofcourse were so excited to be there for Devin's first pumpkin carving. These pictures below were the start of the evening getting all the pumpkins ready...
So once we got done doing all 7 pumpkins 4 of them were Chris and I's. We made a little family of pumpkins this year, and added accessories to describe all of us. So this picture below in order is chris, me, devin, and the new baby girl :) I know I know kind of cheesy, but I have kind of become that way now that I am a mom. I feel like I have become a kid again myself, and I have to say I am loving it. Christmas will be the best this year I can't wait. Sorry I went away from the picture :) enjoy it below....

"Game Night"




Chris and I would do game nights here and there with scrabble before little devin got here. It wasn't often, but it was a little more in the winter time when there is nothing to do. So the night started out really good, and cute little devin was being sooo good as usual. Well that was true until he went into a tantrum out of nowhere yikes!! It was a good one he was just screaming and crying. I tried the binky, I tried pacing, I tried rocking. Nothing and I mean nothing was calming him down. Finally Chris and I layed him down on our bed and started reading him a book, we didn't know what else to do. Well if you can imagine something as simple as the book worked lol. I think it is so funny because really nothing else was working for my mad little baby. We read him the book "The five little pumpkins" he loved it. So it was a nice thought for chris and I to sit down for game night and popcorn with no interruptions ( yeah right ) :) Enjoy the pictures below of our fun evening!
