It has taken me a long time to write this post!

I put Noah on my bed last night while I was giving the kids a bath thinking he would be safer on the bed from Kate, but when I checked on him, I found him like this...

very proud of himself and close to rolling himself onto the floor!

The girls had a half day of school today, so we carved pumpkins this afternoon. I bought two pumpkins, so Zoe and Emily each carved a face on one, and I carved Eleanor's puppy (which Matt thinks it looks like a bunny) and Zach's scary face on the other pumpkin. The puppy would have come out better with a bigger pattern on a bigger pumpkin, but luckily Eleanor likes it the way it is. This was my first time roasting the seeds. Eating pumpkin seeds doesn't appeal to me, but Zoe and Emily were looking forward to them. I asked them how my seeds compared with the ones they have had at school and Zoe said mine were better (bless her heart!) and Emily said they were as good as the others she has had. Fair enough.
The kids dug out all of the seeds and did most of the gutting, which was nice. They had a great time.

Zach helped to find seeds for awhile, but then he was content to watch.
Zoe's and Zach's side...
Emily's and Eleanor's side...
We watched "The Bee Movie" after carving the pumpkins. After watching the movie, Emily regretted putting bees on the "things I don't like" part of her poster that she did at school. She doesn't regret putting Matt's black beans and rice on there, though.
