Isaac got into collecting the seeds. He wanted to save them all, so we could have pumpkins in our garden next year.
They boys wanted a picture with me and the pumpkin, too. Aren't they sweet!Tuesday, October 27, 2009
Carving A Pumpkin
We carved our pumpkin last week. Scott did most of the work, but the kids got into it. They did not like the feel of the insides. They thought it felt gross and slimey and wanted spoons to take the guts out.

Playing in the Leaves
The boys have spent many hours playing in the leaves this fall. These pictures were taken a few weeks ago, before they really started to fall. Ethan really loves the leaves. He said, "Mommy, can you rake these in a pile, so I can jump in 'em?"

Goodbye Training Wheels
Isaac learned to ride a two-wheeler last weekend. He did not want to take the training wheels off, but Scott just took them off and said if he wanted to ride, it would have to be on two wheels. A few minutes later he was ready to try, and just a few minutes after that he was off and riding.
After three trips across the yard (I almost didn't get any pictures!) and he was ready to try pavement. We had a couple crashes, but one week later, he is riding around the neighborhood like a pro.

End of Summer Fun
Isaac and Ethan enjoy their last popsicle of the summer. Isaac always wants red. Ethan's favorite is orange, but he had to settle for blue since we are almost out.
On Labor Day weekend, we started drawing a chalk city on our driveway and the neighbor's driveway. It soon expanded to the street. We had such a long dry spell that the chalk city lasted most of September. We added to the scene and drove scooters around on our "roads" almost every single day. Here Isaac is working on the ocean.
This is the first most recognizable piece of art I have seen Isaac draw. The right figure is a fish and the left figure is a fishing boat with a fisherman and a really big lure. I was so proud of my little artist.
Ethan had fun with the chalk city, too. His favorite thing was pretending to visit the Pet Store and buy puppies. He made sure to get lots of puppy food.
