Busy Weekend!

I forgot to include the link to the 30 day challenge. http://www.reviveourhearts.com/downloads/?id=9471. This is the site with the challenge. I am looking forward to today when we actually have more than 5 minutes without kids interrupting so I can try day 2!!

This weekend has been a very fun and very busy! It started by carving a pumpkin with Cody's class on Friday morning. I had a group of 5 kids and we had to guess how much the pumpkin weighed, weigh it, guess how many seeds there were, then count and finally carve a face and name it! The kids had a blast but I only got 1 picture because I didn't want to get my camera all gross! There were over 470 seeds. That's pretty much a guess because I felt like we were running out of time so the kids counted groups of 10. Some didn't really want to so it's anyone's guess whether there were 10 in their piles or not!!! I'm so thankful that I'm able to stay home so I can participate in things like this!! That night we were supposed to go to a football game because it was Bauerwood night but we decided not to because it had rained all day. The kids were disappointed but we still had a great weekend.

Saturday we made up not going to the game by going to see High School Musical 3. It was OK, but I was reminded why we don't go to movies very often! We went to the matinee and it still cost $26 for all 4 of our tickets!! After the movie, we came home and carved pumpkins. Megan's says trick or treat and Cody designed his own from better homes and gardens site. He picked everything that looked like fire because we couldn't find a firefighter pattern. After carving pumpkins, I went to a benefit for my friend Kristin who lost her husband in June. Ryan's work, 5/3, put on a concert with a silent auction to help raise money for her! It was a little different than what I'm used to doing, but it was fun going with friends! Scott and I had a good laugh at the fact I was leaving the house at 8 when we are normally home for the night at that time! Below are a few pictures of the 3 pumpkins we carved this weekend!
