decorating pumpkins

For the sake of honesty, Saturday sucked...I'd give it a 3 out of 10...so I guess it could have been worse.  I couldn't go run, Sam didn't play soccer again, suburban ran out of gas, Jason had work to do, everyone needed more sleep, blah, blah, blah.  In an attempt to redeem the day, we decorated the little pumpkins the girls and I picked up at the grocery store earlier in the day.  As you can see from the photos below, the only stickers I could find had their names on them so the pumpkins litterally shout Haley, Grace and Samuel!

Haley's pumpkin, obviously!


Sam was shouting Happy Halloween

the completed masterpieces!
Good news, we had a fun time with this activity.  Bad news, the whinning, fighting, crying (and not limited to H, G, & S) recommenced shortly thereafter!  Sunday proved to be just as busy as our Saturday and I had planned on a quiet weekend, but I think I must remember that life with 3 young children does not equal calm and quiet.  The only prayer I could muster up this morning when my alarm went off so that we could do it all over again was Lord give me strength, Lord give me strength, Lord give me strength.  Good thing He's listening 'cause I'm gonna need it today, tomorrow, day after tomorrow and for the years to come!!!
