On Monday, we carved pumpkins. The kids picked out the designs they wanted and Daddy drew it onto the pumpkin and carved it.
Getting ready to start the process.
Digging out the slimy guts.

First Visit From the Tooth Fairy
D only had 1 1/2 days of school last week, so we made fall themed cut-out sugar cookies Thursday morning. Yum!
Friday morning, her front tooth had gotten significantly looser. I could tell it was going to come out today so we took some last pictures of her with her full set of baby teeth. At one point, she had to hold the tooth up and in her mouth with her finger, otherwise it would just hang out of her mouth. It was hanging by a thread, but she didn't want to pull it out.
It did come out soon enough Friday morning, and she was so excited to put it in her tooth fairy pillow. Love the new smile!
On Saturday, we planted grass seed on our front lawn and covered it with straw. We used an extra bale of straw to sit on a take a couple of pictures. Sister and brother. Mama! The ever popular "silly face" picture. Daddy!

Grandparents and Saints
Steve's parents came to visit us for a week in August and got to join us in Steve's work party at a St. Paul Saints baseball game. The kids loved getting their face painted and "tattoos."
Gary took the kids on bike rides around the neighborhood almost every day they were here. The kids loved it!

Summer Soccer
The kids played on a summer soccer league for kids aged 4-6 (perfect!). They had a lot of friends on their team. They both loved playing soccer and being on the same team.
They always wanted to be the goalie.
