(Warning: Long and rambling post ahead!)
Gram and Grandad came down for Halloween weekend and brought pumpkins!
Carter was into it at first, until he discovered that you had too scoop out the middle...
We overcame the stringy bits and carved them into Jack'O'Lanterns. Carter wanted dinosaurs and I think Mimi did a great job making that happen!
Carter had some time home with Gram and Grandad, where he learned important life skills, like how to spin a polar bear,
and how to call trains... Actually, this is Carter's Halloween costume. He wanted to be a train engineer.
This might be the first picture of the four of us... Tamsin couldn't be enticed to look into the camera.
Carter and Grandad lit the Jack'O'Lanterns before heading out trick or treating.
While Grandad and I worked on some projects, Carter and Gram got INTO the play-doh. I didn't even know that you could make a rainbow spaghetti pumpkin out of play-doh.
When it all got to be a little too much, Carter and Grandad retired to the stoop for happy hour.
Mama likes hugs, Carter likes hugs, Tamsin has had enough..
Carter got a real cuckoo clock for his birthday from Gram and Grandad. He doesn't know about the cuckoo yet, please don't tell him.
"Hey Dad, how about some more of that fine apple sauce..."
Carter loves to help give his sister a bath - they both find splashing water all over the place hilarious. In fact, they got Gram giggling so hard, that I had to come in and be the responsible adult (which is saying something...)
