One of my favorite traditions is that itself.... traditions..... for every holiday there is something to look forward too something we do every year the same. I love the excited faces of my kids and them remembering what we do for each....

I also ♥ M's disgusted face when he scoops out the pumpkin guts, he has the quickest gag reflex at gross sights, feels and smells its kind of funny sometimes....

Love this kid we made muffins this morning the three of us and M  scooped everyone of these himself!

 .....of course can't forget this little cutie who helped out too!

Me Thinks

I thought since I've done alot of deep me thinks today is a short one. I read this statement in a book I've been reading by Linda Chadwick that made me think alot about life and those that have such extra trials and troubles. So many suffer through so much I only wish sometimes we could see what we could learn from it first and then go through it. Because for each trial we go through there is a greater lesson to be learned if we make it through the "potholes"...

" Life is going to have its potholes and rainy days, but there will be sunny days too. Our potholes in life are only as big as we make them, and if life keeps giving you buckets of rain, well, then buy a rain barrel and wait for the sun, because it will shine again...."
