My friend Vanessa finally convinced me to try carving something other than a simple jack-o-lantern face this year. Her family makes these amazing themed pumpkins every year, things like Buzz Lightyear, a Cowboys' football helmet, and Thomas the Train. It's very impressive. She's been trying to convince me that it's not really that hard and sent me this link for a Snow White design. I did have those two pumpkins the kids' already painted and nothing important to do this afternoon so I went ahead and gave it a try. Diego picked out a really cute spider design for his and it looked easier so I did that one first.
*************************************************************************************Are you the Mom who's always taking pictures and look back only to realize you aren't IN any of them? Do your kids look through photo albums and ask "Where were you Mommy?" Well, Carin over at Forever in Blue Jeans decided to change all that and challenges any one who's interested to do the same. So hand over the camera, or at least figure out the self-timer and get on the other side of the lens more often. Post your photos of you enjoying time with your family every Thursday and share the link with other Mom's by posting it on Carin's blog. You can start any time with week 1 of 52, don't worry about being "behind" just jump on in.

Good job on the jack-o-lanterns. We usually just do faces, too. I'm partial to them. :) My kids are planning a carving contest with their cousins this year, though, so they may get a little more creative than in the past... we'll see.
I have to say I just love that second picture. Your body language is so relaxed and you can tell just how much you love that little boy! Great job on the pumpkins! We haven't done ours yet, better get to it soon.
Great pictures. Seeing these makes me want to carve our pumpkins. I'm just not sure we'll have time.
