Carving up the Pumpkins!

Finally, (to Jaxon's delight) we carved our pumpkins!! We all went over to my Mum & Dad's house tonight to celebrate my dad's birthday....we had yummy Chili & Rolls followed by chocolate birthday cake & Ice cream. Then we got busy carving our pumpkins. Jaxon was a good helper - helping me & dad pull out the insides of the pumpkins, and he couldn't wait till we were finished carving them. (Jax & dad did a face & i did a cat) He thought they turned out pretty awesome. We had lots of fun hanging out with the family and thought everyone did a great job with their pumpkins!!

Millie with Grandpa Jerry
(A funny little story...Jerry is my sister's father in law...he came up to stay with them for a couple of weeks and i was telling Jax on the way up to see him last week that Jerry - Lauren's Grandpa was at her house, he asked me if he was his grandpa too, i told him no....but as soon as we walked through the door he started calling him Grandpa Jerry. Every two seconds he is saying something like...."look at my pumpkin Grandpa Jerry.......Grandpa Jerry i have a new teacher at school........Where is your dog Grandpa Jerry" Jax is so funny and it is so cute to sit & listen to him talk to his new Grandpa!!)
