Last night we went to the Henrie's house to celebrate Braden's 3rd birthday! The boys a had a lot of fun. The played pin the tail on the donkey, sat on balloons to see whose would pop first, played one potato-two potato had carmel apples and cake and decorated a Halloween House. Colter's teeth and mouth were black with all the frosting he decided to down! They had frosting EVERYWHERE, all over their faces, hands and on every side of their shirts. It was funny! I didn't take my camera, but their little house was really cute! They did a good job.

Licorice Carmels

Ooh the infamous black licorice carmels with "ANUS" oil! My mom makes these every year for Halloween and since we won't be there this year I took matters into my own hands...Let's just say they look a lot better then they are. I didn't think about the difference in sea levels, so I didn't cook them long enough. The flavor was really good...but they were pretty mushy. Next year they'll be better because my mom will be sending me some. Right Mom???

Schramm Farms

We went to Schramm Farm to a pumpkin patch. It was so cute for the little kids (well us big kids too!) We went through a corn and a hay maze, Colter got to ride a pony named "Rocket". They had a gigantic pumpkin patch for the kids to pick any size pumpkin they wanted. We went to pick out our pumpkins and Colter wanted the biggest one he could find, so we ended up getting a wagon and we got a 38 lb. pumpkin. The sucker is huge!!! Then the day wasn't complete until we got hot dogs, snow cones and carmel apples. It was a fun little place!

Oh what poor Pennsylvania has done to Colter. Ha ha. We were going to the park and I told him to grab shoes and socks and this is what he came up with. (I guess we'll fit in at Walmart). I figure I don't really know to many people out here yet so why not? Ha ha.

I put Colt in the bath before bed the other night and he wanted to bathe in my tub with the jets, so I let him and of course we had to have the "Lighting McQueen" race car soap and holy crap bubbles galore. I had to take a picture of ALL the bubbles, it was crazy. Let's just say when he was done bubbles were everywhere and the floor was anything but dry!

We went out in our front yard to let Colter drive his car and Darin asked him if he wanted to drive fast? There is a little screw that you can take out of the gear shift to make it go faster. I did not know this, we've had the dang thing for over 2 years, but its a good thing that I didn't know because this thing hauled butt! Colter's face was so funny. We have a little speed racer on our hands. Needless to say Colt will not be letting us put that screw back in!Dempsey-Doo

This would be the face!

When we went to Washington D.C. we left Dempsey at a "pet hotel" for the three days we were going to be gone. I was really nervous about this, but then I figured it was for only 2 nights and then we would be home. I called everyday on him and they said he was good, nervous, shy and a little growly, but doing okay. The pet hotel closed at 7 p.m. so I had Darin race home, so he wouldn't have to stay another night and I got a bucket of chicken to spoil him with and then I told him he had to have a bath...this is where I found him. Hiding underneath the computer table hoping I would not find him.

(what a BABY!) He thinks he is so smart! Ha ha.
