Carving Punkins!

Adison got the biggest pumpkin he could carry. In fact it was so big it couldn't be weighed. All we know is that it weighs more than Lauren which is at least 33 lbs. He worked so hard on it!
Chloie rolled up her sleeves and dug right in. She wasn't afraid of the "yuck", and good old Emerson, he helped on Laurens for a bit. Lauren was a little reluctant to get her hands dirty!
But, she was allowed to do a little carving, and she really enjoyed that!
Emerson loved the goo, in fact he helped clean out Adison's as well, because it had a TON of guts inside of it. Some even looked like a skeleton. I tried to take a picture but it was too dark inside to see it.

My Children are Brilliant!

As parents we all love to brag about our kids. Blogging is like an open invitation to do just that, so hold on to your britches cause her I go! Adison is getting all A+ is his class and they moved him up to the "gifted and talented" math class. I am so proud of him. His lowest score was 112%. And Chloie, who is in 2nd grade, is on a 4th grade reading level. Emerson, well it is just a given that he is smart. Even thought he is a year younger than all the kids in his grade he scored "Advanced" all of his testing. Lauren, well she is naturally brilliant, just like her Daddy! Overall I am very proud of how smart, and yet funny they all are. They don't define themselves as the "smart" kids but the fun kids. Jeff and I are honored to be their parents and we hope that they will always enjoy learning and growing!
