Carving Pumpkins!

Addison and I had Poppa over for Family Home Evening this week to help us carve pumpkins! Addison wanted her pumpkin to have circle eyes and circle mouth, which Poppa did EVEN though he wasn't thrilled about the difficulty level. :) Addison is waving her "baby" pumpkin that she picked out at the store. She LOVES when things come in her size!

Our finished jack-o-lanters. Not our best ever, but we were kind of in a hurry and we are elementary level pumpkin carvers at heart. :)

Poppa and Addison. I think my favorite part of carving pumpkins was when Poppa decided to tell Addison about the time that my older brother Tyler told on me for eating pumpkin seeds (I was 9 months old at the time, so it was probably good he told on me) Poppa quoted Tyler saying: "Mommy, Dan-yell-ee is eating a pumpkin seed!" Addison asked him to "say it again!"

It was actually night out, but the flash makes it seem a lot bright out. . . Overall, a fun and special FHE for Addison and me!

Bring a Friend to Dance Class

Addison's first dance class. Addison's friend Sophie goes to Velocity Dance and they had "bring a friend to dance class" week. Here's Addison waiting for dance class to start! (Addison and I got there a few minutes early and I had to go to the bathroom. Unfortunately, the bathroom is IN the dance studio. We walked behind the teenage girl's dance class and Addison tried to start dancing with them! It was really cute. . .)

Addison and her friend Sophie. These two LOVE to giggle together!

"grab your friend's hand and line up for class!" Sophie grabbed Addison and then Addison tried to go over and grab another girl too!

Addison and Sophie are all lined up to go into class. I was a little bummed that the class is behind closed doors, but they do it so the kids are distracted by the parents. I just wish I could have gotten some pictures and video of the actual class! Addison told me afterward that it was "fun" and she "loves dance."
