Jack-O-Lanterns

So I wasn't sure if my husband would even want to do pumpkin carving...silly me. I told him I wanted to grab two pumpkins, while we were at the store, to carve for Family Home Evening. It was like James Bond's ultimate mission lol. I wish I had had my camera because he seriously took half the pumpkins out of the bin to get down to the very bottom for his perfect pumpkin lol I just jest too much because I got mine there too lol. the root of the problem was all the stems were broken and you need a good stem its mandatory. Anywho, we had FHE but he had to run to the store for work stuff so we had to put a pin in the pumpkins so to speak. So that weekend we went at it. I usually got for a more creative pattern usually from my brain but my excuse this year is I'm pregnant lol. David's is a hoot. So here are some pictures with random comments every now and then lol.

The lovely before shot. lol Take note of the gorgeous flowers my husband got me. I love that man!

He loves that K-bar! 

So we cut from the bottom. first time ever doing this but the little book said to do it and it made sense. David made a tiny hole...

I made a huge one lol.

Just a few action shots of the fun stuff lol

I wanted to have a pumpkin fight....

He did not lol

the beginnings of my master piece

David's guy with the eyes. At this point David realized in order to complete his master piece we needed to run to the store for a third victim (tiny pumpkin). It was funny because when we got there all the big bins were empty and we had to go for a pie pumpkin. lol

David making the mouth to hold the poor little dude

My finished product

David shaving the rind off the teeth... said he felt like he was brushing his teeth lol

We might have a slight pumpkin aggression problem... but who could blame us. This was a very fun night!

Update on the Pain and the Baby

So the pain is apparently normal stomach pain from being pregnant. Mostly just GI issues. The baby is great but he will be better when the mama (yours truly) is no longer hurting. Oh also the ultrasound in September showed an irregular heart beat so they sent me to Savannah. They checked his heart there and said its beautiful and there is no arrhythmia. They are concerned because he is smaller than most babies his age so I'm actually going back next week to get another ultrasound and make sure he is at least growing at a steady rate.

Overview of last 30 days

So I have been remiss in my blogging lately :(  We went on leave for two weeks to North Carolina. Had an amazing time with family and friends. Actually got a new car! I love our car David was amazing getting us the deal he did. I am so proud of my husband. Went fishing and David went flounder gigging. I couldn't hang that late (12am-2am). but I ate the flounder and that was yummy lol. Went shopping with mama. She is keeping me stylish even as big as I am lol. Went the Busch Gardens now that was fun. We got home and I found out I was released from my calling as Young Women's President at church. I'm gonna miss working with those girls but I know they're gonna have a great time with their new leaders. Bought Pumpkins for FHE activity but didnt get to carve them until friday lol. Went to Savannah and took a ton of pictures. Trying to cram in as many fun memories with my hubby as I can before he leaves. Okie Dokes that's about everything So now for the individual posts lol.
