Happy Fall Y'all!!!

We had a fun Fall weekend with my dad, Jodi, Carli & Cameron coming to visit us. They crashed in around 11:15 on Friday night...and we stayed up a talked for about an hour & a half...needless to say, we all slept in til around 9 on Saturday morning. Then we headed to Caroline's last soccer game for the season. We all had fun cheering her on!!!

Here are the matching brother/sister combo....Carli & Cameron...they still love each other, and I'm sure they miss each other a little since Carli is away at college now.
We decided that we would like to spend the afternoon carving pumpkins...so we went on a pumpkin hunt...believe it or not, they were hard to find! We finally found some good ones at Bryant's Garden Center in Cleveland. So we picked some out and headed home to begin the "project". I think this may have been Caroline's 1st time to really experience carving a pumpkin...here she is the the guts of her white pumpkin.
Here's Cameron working on his....and holding his dog :) Cookie loved Cameron and kept getting up in his lap.

Granny Jo had to help Caroline with her final touches on her carving. Here's the whole crew in our side yard. Hopefully we didn't plant a pumpkin patch for next year :-/

Carli and Christopher were working hard on their creative faces:

Somehow Christopher talked Cameron into helping him with his carving...he did "Dollar Sign" eyes...too funny!

Here's the Line-up of our Final Carvings:

Brandy: the pumpkin pot filled with assorted plants (I used this for a centerpiece at our church on Sunday for our Widow & Widowers Luncheon)

Caroline: the white jack-o-lantern

Cameron: Mr. Silly...if you look closely, you'll see his nose is a natural bump on the pumpkin

Christopher: Mr. Cash..."Dollar Sign" eyes and a greedy grin topped off with a cigar

Carli: the Black Cat (i'm assuming that, she never said it was black)

Anyway, how do you think we did? We had fun doing it and made good memories.

~Cameron, Carli, Christopher & Caroline all slept in the playroom that was wall-to-wall air mattresses

~Carli went down memory lane playing with Caroline's Disney Princess Vanity that plays all the Princess songs. I could hear her singing while I was downstairs, lol

~Nothing like 2 Big Kids & 2 Little Kids all jumping together on the trampoline

~Christopher & Carli took a bike ride through the neighborhood together

~Sitting in the kitchen talking to Dad & Jodi while drinking coffee and eating breakfast

~Watching Caroline's final game of her 1st Soccer Season ever

~Christopher & Cameron watched Star Wars in the playroom on their air mattresses

...too many memories to list! We had a great time.

Thanks for coming to visit...Papa Jack, Granny Jo, Carli and Cameron
