Why I dont carve pumpkins with children

So we attempted to carve our 1st pumpkin today. All was going well until my daughter decides to take the pulp and put it in the garden (the backyard) -(I dont have a garden-Im not Martha yall) anyway long story short- she talked her 2 year old brother into holding the trash bag so she could dump the guts into the bag.. yeah you know what happens next- toddler moves bag, guts go everywhere and Im on hands and knees cleaning up goop. *sigh*







the culprits.....

Happy Birthday!!!!

My little man is 2 today! How time flies- but there are those days when I wish he was older and able to take care of himself. But for now I am grateful for his little self. He is my stong willed, fun-loving, soccer-playing litte boy. He loves his sister and his little brother and brings us lots of laughs! Happy Birthday baby!

My little guy

Tomorrow we will be celebrating the 2nd birthday of this cute little guy God has given us. I'll post more pictures tommrow.

Loving me some black and white

So Im so into the black and white thing right now. I have gone through over 8 cans of spray paint in the past few weeks. If its old, rusty, not the right color-it gets a new coat of black. I've been working on all the piece on my front porch- heres some pics.
