Dancing on the Edge

The Weekend in Review

It was a wild and busy weekend at our house. Saturday was a beautiful autumn day so the kids and I headed outside to play in the leaves. It was so much fun to roll around and kick the leaves. I just love this time of year.
Here are a few photos from that adventure.



Later, after Dakota returned home from studying, her mom and step-dad brought over pizza and we had a good time just hanging out together. Once they left, we got started on making our Haunted Gingerbread House. Kelton found the kit while we were picking up some groceries earlier in the day and he couldn't wait to create the thing. He's been chomping at the bit to make a gingerbread house for Christmas so imagine his delight when he found one for Halloween! Oh the joy!



Thanks to daylight savings time, Sunday morning found us up and at 'em earlier than our usual early time. The rain was falling down and the kids were getting antsy so we pulled on boots and coats and headed out for an early morning walk in the rain. The kids had so much fun that we actually had the bribe them to come back in the house. Their backpacks and pockets were overflowing from all the "treasures" they found on their walk.



And then, later on that day, it was time to carve the Halloween pumpkin. Kelton got to be the one who decided what the orange guys face would look like and he wanted a happy pumpkin...so...that's exactly what he got. I find it so funny how icked-out the kids are when it comes to touching the pumpkin guts. Kelton has never liked the stuff (though he was brave this year and did hold a bit in his hands) and Kaylen followed suit - though she upped the funniness of it by calling it "pumpkin poop" or..in her words "pumppump poo". :)



So - in a crazy and wild nutshell, that was our weekend. It was fun but as is usually the case, it flew by. It's hard to only have Dakota with us one day a week but as you can see - we try to make the most of it. :)
