Playdoh Cookies

On Saturday the kids got the playdoh out and had a great time.
They made long worms, shapes and then rolled it out and made "cookies"


We are looking forward to seeing family in Chattanooga this weekend.

a fun and full day.

after a great trip to d.c. for the weekend i was glad to have the day at home before going back to work.
we certainly made the most of it too.
we went pumpkin picking at sweet berry farm.

there were lots to choose from, but there were also a couple of tractors the kids could sit on.
nell loves sitting on a tractor:




after that we got some wheel barrows and headed to the fields


we tried out a lot of pumpkins before deciding on just the right one for each of us.


then it was back to the tractor for a little while longer,

then we came home and carved our pumpkins. nell liked scooping the gook out of it. nell kept calling the white pumpkin she chose "the skinny one".


after that we toasted some pumpkin seeds and nell had a nap.
then we played some tennis in the driveway and went to the grocery store

zaven has been wanting to make pizza for a couple of weeks so today we bought some dough in a bag and zaven made dinner.

his pizza turned out great. he rolled the dough. chose the toppings. it was delicious. when i told him it looked great he said "todd taught me how at woody's" so cute.
after dinner, i gave zaven a much needed haircut (see above), pictures to follow- I am still fine tuning it.

then we made cupcakes so that I can return someone's cupcake carrier tomorrow without returning it empty. and yeah we each ate one too!

the kids are asleep.
they both sleep in zaven's room these days.
nell gave up her crib and then decided she did not want to sleep alone.
we also stopped at a yard sale today and got a doll size set of bunk beds and the kids have all their babies in them asleep next to them.
nell is pretty well out of diapers at this point. it all seemed to come together for her rather quickly, which is great. we are proud of her.

back to work tomorrow.
