Breccan's birthday at school and carving pumpkins

Sometimes birthday's last forever around here! We've already had his big party, but when his actual birthday does roll around, you have to do something. So we just bought some canned cinnamon rolls and made those the morning of his birthday, along with scrambled eggs, which is what he wanted. We blew up balloons and had them upstairs at Josh's house (as we were visiting Denver that weekend). We got him a card with a gift card to itunes in it, and Uncle Josh and Auntie Dianna got him a fishing bag (which you can see in the pictures as he carried it around constantly).

We had to drop by and give Mimi her present too, and snap a shot of the birthday kids together.

 Then on Monday, the day after his birthday, I took treats to school for him to give to his classmates. Then they played Heads Up, Seven Up, which he has been looking forward to all week.

 We also carved pumpkins! These are our homegrown pumpkins! They were perfect!

 Here I had canned 4 cans of apple sauce...didn't get more apple sauce because the kids ate up my apples! The kids are waiting for the 'pop' to go off on the last one.

 Then we had to light the pumpkins to see how they looked. It was terribly windy here last night, so we lit them in the house, I think they turned out good!

Happy Halloween! Pictures soon to follow of the kids in their costumes!
