Donkeys & Pumpkins....What a Week

This was a first for all of us -- last week the school held a fundraiser by hosting a donkey basketball game. Mom took Harrison and me up to watch and it was exactly what you would guess from the title....the players all had to ride donkeys in a basketball game. It was very entertaining -- especially the one that kept bucking off whoever was riding him. Definitely not a high scoring or fast paced game, but well worth the evening out! Harrison ran into his friend Carter and sat by him....he's turning into such a big kid who doesn't need his mommy anymore (sigh....)The twins are still doing great....they pretty much still just eat and sleep and you won't hear any of us complaining about that! Madison even fell asleep in the middle of her bath the other day!
All clean and wearing their adorable new sleepers from Pops, Gams and Aunt Gina...(Madison is on the right)
Speaking of sleepy kiddos....the Notre Dame game on Saturday really wore poor Harrison out (the rest of us too....these games are way too close for comfort, but at least we won!)
Yesterday we decided to give pumpkin carving a try. Last year, we just painted our pumpkins but we were excited to try something different. That is, we were excited for about the first five minutes. Once we got the top cut open, Harrison and I lost interest and headed off to play.....leaving Daddy the job of finishing up the work. I was happy to return at the end to put the top back on, inspect his work and help light it up. Thank you Daddy for doing all the work!
(Harrison thought he was such a big helper by resting his hand on top of mommy's to help her carve out the lid...0



We are getting so excited for Halloween! In fact, Harrison's costume came in the mail today and he's wearing it already....it's very possible he won't take it off again for another few months he's so excited about it!
