pumpkins & pirates x3

we had a good second to last weekend :-) we went to the louisburg cider mill saturday morning and i could've just killed myself....i left the camera at home :-( i was so sad and mad at myself. i got this one pic (shown below) on my phone. we still had a good time. it was really a pretty cool place. livi was the best pumpkin picker outer ever. the apple cider, root beer and apple cider donuts were so yummy. we will for sure go back next year, hopefully i remember the camera.

nick and i accomplished something this weekend we've been trying to do for years. we watched all 3 Pirates of the Caribbean movies. we've owned them for many years and had seen 1 and 2 but not 3. it had been so long since we'd seen the first two that we needed to watch them again and we just hadn't been able to find time for it until this weekend. livi and owen actually enjoyed them, even noah would say "ooohhhh" when something cool came on. it was family fun. made me want to go back to disney though....don't worry, it doesn't take much to make me think of disney.
i took this picture because this is what i think they would look like if they had short hair. both of them are starting to look like real shag-a-muffins lately and again i'm wondering how short should their next haircut be.....?????

this morning owen just wasn't feeling good and was so tried he had no energy. this is where he fell asleep while i was making breakfast....on the floor between the kitchen and living room.

then he couldn't even hold his up waiting for me to bring him his plate. :-( he did eat a lot....one and half pancakes, some cantaloupe and 2 sausage links....thats really good for him!!! then he laid his head back on the table until we moved him to sofa for the 2nd pirates of the caribbean where he took about 1-1 1/2 hr nap. when he woke up he did seem to be feeling better.

tonite we painting the perfect pumpkins that livi picked out. nick helped noah with his and they did a good job keeping all the paint on the pumpkin.

owen and i did his Frankenstein. i did the hair and green skin. owen did the eyes, nose and mouth all by himself, i wasn't even over by him when he did it. i was so impressed how great he did and how even they are.

livi painted her vampire all by herself and did a excellent job!!!! so is such a crazy girlie!!!

they were so proud to put them out on the porch. i think we are ready for halloween.......bring on Owen's Treat or Trick on Delaware Street!!!!!
