Big Boy Bed

Kyle and I put together Ethan's "Big boy" bed and Ethan was not happy. He was fighting with us to put his chair bed as he calls it back in his room. For me it was bitter sweet, I enjoy each moment of the kid's ages but then again I just wish they could be my babies forever.

I was able to get Ethan to sit on his big bed and take a couple pictures
The crib...sigh*. For now we have it against the wall. Kyle said sell it or store it in the attic. Hmm I just wish I did not have these emotional attachments to object. For now the crib stays there until I can "detach" myself from it.

Ethan was still having a hard time with the big boy bed, Kyle took Belle in there to lay with Ethan and he was doing ok and he did eventually fall asleep, if only he knew Mommy was having a hard time with the big boy bed too.

Pumpkins!

When we got home we explained to Alyssa and Ethan they had to draw what they wanted their pumpkins to look like and Alyssa went a little over board, Ethan did a simple one with Mommy's help.

Alyssa drew a really nice picture, but Daddy changed it a little bit

Alyssa jumped right in to help get the pumpkins ready to carve

Ethan was not happy about cleaning the pumpkins at first but he came around

All the pumpkins

I Love the fall, not to cold and not too hot. I can't stand to be inside and the kids love it too. Tonight we went out on a "nice" family outing to pick up some food and of course our pumpkins. The kids were so excited and Kyle thought it would be fun to get 3 this year....just an FYI every year Kyle picks the pumpkins and cuts the tops off then waits for me to clean them out, he HATES the insides so i do the scrapping and once completed he starts the carving.
