Pumpkin Carving

Today we finally carved pumpkins. Quinn's been asking to do this since before we even purchased pumpkins because he found the carving tools I got last year on clearance. They are tools, and Q loves tools, therefore he was very anxious to use them. :) Of course, he did very little to actually carve, and both Andy and I rediscovered that carving pumpkins really isn't that much fun, especially when it's quite chilly outside, but Quinn was so happy, and that's all that matters. ;)

The finished products! (I carved the little one; Andy carved the big one.)

A Quinn's Eye View

Lately Quinn has been interested in taking pictures with the small digital camera I got for my birthday. He quickly learned how to do the basic procedures to make it work, including what button to press to view the picture just taken. My mom mentioned how it's neat to see the world from his perspective by looking at the pictures he takes, and I hadn't thought of that! I'm glad she said that before I simply erased them. Here are a few fun ones.

I love how in the above pic you can see he's sitting on the ground, his little shoes peeking out.

Pumpkin Pics and More

I don't have too much to write, but I do have some pictures to post. This hasn't been the nicest October in recent history, and it's certainly not been the unusually, beautifully warm October of the last two years, but we've still been out and about to local pumpkin farms. I love the colors, so I've tried to get some good pictures, but it's just been super cold on the weekends! We've also gone to the park when we can, played Wii bowling quite a bit (Quinn beats me almost every time!!), and have gotten reacquainted with toys that weren't played with much over the summer. I get quite anxious this time of year as I think about being trapped indoors for the winter, but I think we'll be able to find things to stay occupied.
