After church today, we worked outside! Robbie worked on putting in a "dripping" system for our flowerbeds. Grace and I worked in the flowerbeds. :) Grace loves to help plant flowers and be outside. Carson wanted to help, but didn't want to help! haha! He kept asking what he could do, but NEVER wanted to do anything I suggested! So he was our talker. Occasionally, he would sidetrack Grace in to playing with him. I was using this small shovel to help dig the terribly hard, dry ground...Carson and Grace would find a small pile of dirt and make "sandcastles". (You can tell we LOVE the beach!) Needless to say, it REALLY wasn't a sandcastle, since they only had a couple of handfuls of loose dirt...but so cute to listen to.
We took a break from planting (because it actually got warm today and we were sweating). We decided to carve some pumpkins. I cut the top of one off for Carson and Grace. At first they wouldn't TOUCH the "pumpkin guts" but after a few minutes of staring at it and realizing I wasn't going to do it right then, they started to stick their hands in the pumpkin! It was so fun watching their faces touch the slime goo. They are not quite old enough to complete gut the pumpkin, but they did their best. So...Mom got to finish them. haha! (Robbie is still working on the drip system). We borrowed Robbie's Iphone, because he has a program that you can change a pumpkins face. Anyway, we found several "faces" that we wanted to carve. So, mom, the great pleaser I am, attempted to carve the faces they picked out. Only one nose I messed up! haha! The rest weren't so bad. Once they were finished, Hayley, Carson and Grace wanted to take pictures with them. So...here they are! :)
