Happy Monday, Blog-readers!! Hope wherever you are, you are having as beautiful weather as we are here in North Texas . After seemingly unending rain during the first half of the month, the last 4 days or so have been gorgeous!! The sun is out and the air has just the right amount of chill in it. We laid pretty low this weekend. I got off work early this past Friday and took the kids to Celina’s Homecoming Parade. They loved watching the Fire trucks, police vehicles, football players, drill team and other floats drive by. Kason especially liked the floats that threw candy out to the crowd! It was a gorgeous day for a parade. Later that evening, Kason and GD went to the football game while Katie and I stayed home. Kason had a little bit of trouble with some adhesive eye black that they handed out at the game. He loved wearing them at the game, but the next day his face was broken out from them! He has always had sensitive skin so I guess these just irritated it. He was fine by Sunday morning though. Here are before and after pics:
On Saturday, Kason and I carved a Jack-o-lantern. We found the perfect pumpkin at Walmart. We went outside to carve it so we wouldn’t make a mess in the house. Katie wasn’t very interested in the carving. She was too busy bringing all her dolls and toys outside while we were busy carving. By the time I looked up, she had dolls, a stool, a blanket, her picnic basket and other miscellaneous toys outside!! That girl is busy!! Kason did a great job carving the pumpkin. After we had it finished, I had a very Martha Stewart idea to toast the pumpkin seeds. Actually, I got the idea from my mom. She used to toast pumpkin seeds when we were little and I remember them being sooo good! Unfortunately, mine did not turn out good at all. I cleaned the seeds, then coated them with a little oil and salt and put them in the oven for about 7 minutes. I got them out all golden brown and smelling yummy. The first taste tasted great! Unfortunately, the more you chewed the worse it got. I couldn’t chew them!! I think I either didn’t let them dry enough after cleaning them or you are supposed to boil them first or something. Mom, you’ll have to help me out with that next time!!

Sunday was a great day! I taught Sunday School and had a great class with the little ones, then went to Worship which was great as well. I got a 2 hour nap that afternoon and then went to Bible Study Sunday night. It was a great small group and the Holy Spirit was definitely present! PTL!! It was a great way to end the weekend. Now on to another busy work and school week. Hope you all have a great one!
