We had so much fun carving pumpkins last night. After swimming, Grandma and Grandpa came over for some soup and cornbread and to help us decorate. The boys loved helping daddy scoop out the pumpkins guts and H liked to stick his head in the pumpkin and talk to it. It was so cute. Thank goodness for the Mr. Potato head pieces - it makes decorating pumpkins awesome for the little guys :)

Up at 7am and off to the pumpkin patch by 8am...it was a perfect Saturday morning. The kids and I kissed daddy goodbye, wished him luck on his game, and headed out the door to pick up Grandma and Starbucks for a fun packed day at Plumper! Between the farm equipment, pumpkins, slides, animals, pony rides, and tractor rides and much much more...Cohen didn't want to leave. Every year is getting better and better as the boys are able to do more and more. Even little Henry was a trooper - even without a nap he did fabulous!!

Our Oklahoma adventure began promptly at 4am on Wednesday morning - and to our surprise we had 3 happy children ready to go! The flight was so smooth and easy...my mom and I had to pinch ourselves. We totally hauled & configured 2 car seats, 4 back packs, a stroller, and baby pack like nobody's business. (we were quite proud of ourselves) Everyone was giving us "high five" looks and complimenting how great the kids were listening and behaving. We were definitely feeling good...and it was a good thing everything went so great on the way there because on the way home it was a "whole" different ball game! I won't go into too much details but I will try to paint a picture in a few words...here we go - It begins with a super long line to get through security, a little boy who had to go to the bathroom(which I had no extra clothes), a random security check (lucky me), running to plane, no time to get milk for Henry (who was upset & tired), 2 over tired children who wouldn't sleep on plane, 1 screaming child, spilled drinks, more crying, super slow flight attendants(who didn't get it), Henry kicking the seat in front of him(man in front was not amused)and on and on. My mom and I just had to laugh. Everyone was giving us advice(which we gladly took) and even tried ear drops for Henry from some lady in 22A. Unfortunately, when we tried to pin down a screaming baby, the ear drops missed Henry and spilled all over Olivia and her baby doll - which resulted in another melt down. Good times!!!
But we'd do it again in a heartbeat!!!! We had so much fun with our Oklahoma family. When we get together it feels like no time has passed. The kids were in heaven and Cohen is already asking when we can go back! Watch out Aunt May and Uncle Jack, you have a big fan in Vancouver. There were many highlights of our trip...like playing and driving the farm equipment, going to the fire station, feeding Coco, diggin' the red dirt, playing at Aunt Bea's and Uncle Ken's BIG house, the excavator riding toy, Aunt Bea's fire truck, playing with Chance, going to the Sawmill cabin, fishing, swinging, boating, eating, making mud pies, morning snuggles with Aunt Fran, going to the airport restaurant, and on and on (Cohen is helping my write our story).
Can't wait til Summer 2012 in Oceanside!!!
