Pumpkins of 2010

Okay, it seems as though I just can't decide what medium to use to share my photos and life happenings. I've been meaning to blog for the last little while just hadn't sat down to do it. Mackinley is starting to take one long afternoon nap vs. two shorter ones so maybe I'll be able to get more stuff done, including the odd blog post.

Last night was Pumpkin Carving. We always like to do this as a family with each child having their own pumpkin, and picking their own face design. It's a lot of fun, ending with roasting the seeds for a tasty treat! I have to admit I helped Mackinley with his, he spent most of the time just walking around. :)

Daelyn's is on the left, Hayley's in the middle, and Mack's on the right. For those that aren't sure what that face is, it's one of Hayley's favourite typing emotions that would sound something like, "Doh" on the Simpsons.

Well it's done! for now.... I still want a walk up ramp for Mack for next year but that's something we can add next spring, hopefully. OR maybe I won't want an easy access for him after all... hmmmm, might have to think on that one.

Okay so he started off with this. Ummmm... Momma thinks this is too high for the little ones. So....

then it became this. Do you see the green crate on the other side? That's on a pully so you can get things up to the top. It was originally for tools etc, but as the adults seem to gather up there at get togethers, it's being used for other things as well. :D

And then we added the baby swing for the Mackster, and the railings for safety of course.

Somebody likes it!

Here's the trap door from the top level. The hubs took the picture as I don't venture up there. Never will!

And lastly came the landscaping around the bottom. Landscape fabric, edging and P. gravel. Oh and of course a slide!!

Kuddos to my man for a great summer project done and very much enjoyed! We're proud of you!!

Wordless Wednesday

Is this a face asking for trouble or what?!?!

The Mackster at 8 Months old.

Again, I know I'm behind as he's actually 9 months now (as of yesterday) but this was taken a few weeks ago. He's had lots of changes this month. We've got 4 teeth now, he's started crawling (army style) as well as pulling up on the furniture, and he's finally taken to some finger foods like Baby Mum Mum's and Baby Digestive cookies. He's 21 lbs and getting terribly heavy on mom to carry around. Almost time for the bigger car seat but that also means carrying an unconfined and squirmy child. Eek!
