This weekend turned out to be a perfect fall weekend here at our house.....my older guys, unfortunately weren't able to have their football game on Saturday, b/c it started to pour down rain right before they were to play, but that didn't alter our mood, b/c that meant we were able to watch OSU football together! I had decided to keep Colin back anyway, b/c little man wasn't feeling good and I wasn't wanting to push it, so I was glad the game was called!! After the Buckeye's beat Iowa, Brenton and I decided to have our traditional pumpkin carving fun.....so, I went out to the porch and set up our "pumpkin station" and we were set......I must say, it was a bit chilly, but we had a lot fun w/ alot of giggles this year!!! Colin, doesn't do pumpkins, but this year I figured out how to give him a "cool" pumpkin that didn't mean him having to touch the guts and he loved that...pumpkin kits are the way to go with him and I have to say, it turned out really cute!!! During the process of carving the other pumpkins, Ethan kept saying "Mommy can we cook the seeds like we did at my old school" and so I said yes....we kept a bowl of seeds and I found a recipe on Pinterest, turned out to be "extra" fun that wasn't planned, but he started a new tradition for our family! For those of you who know me, know I love to celebrate things, go over-the-top probably, but I also LOVE traditions!!! I'm so happy Ethan asked to do the seeds, b/c it turned out to be a great treat! Man, I love weekends like this one!! ♥♥
