Marbles and Pumpkins

We had a great time with friends on Saturday at Marbles Kid's Museum and lunch at Chilli's afterward. Olivia and her best friend from school enjoyed playing together in the grocery store, the water and under the sea. Olivia and Bella are both adopted and they are only a few weeks apart in age and in forever family days. We had a great time and hope to get together again.


I love the expression on Bella's face.



Olivia bought a lot of groceries. Mostly cheese, but she did throw in lobster and crab.

After her nap we went to pick out some carving pumpkins. It was raining outside so I gave her my umbrella. She wouldn't let me close it when we went inside to pay. I am a little superstitious about having umbrellas open indoors, but oh well she was just too cute to say no too.

This is Olivia complaining because I wanted to take her picture and she wanted no part of it.
Her first time taking the stuff out of the pumpkin and she didn't mind it all.





My first time carving anything other than a simple face. Not bad.

This one came really good. Not the greatest picture but you get the idea.

Well I am off to work on Olivia's costume before heading to bed. Have a great week everyone!

I want to go to that Marbles Kid museum soon. Olivia really enjoys it. And yes Bella is cute. I have heard about her so it is nice to see a pic.

Good job carving the pumpkins. I only do the triangles.

And tell Bill that I really like the shoes he had on in the pic of Olivia with the shopping cart at the museum. LOL

Sharon - Look at your pumpkin carving skills - I am so jealous!

And where did you find this BFF Bella? She is so cute! ;0

Olivia needs to show Bella how to gut the pumpkin - B wasn't so sure about that part.

Happy Halloween!

Thank you Shannon for the great idea of filming the DVD while it plays!! This will have to do until I get the proper program. The quality is not very good doing it this way but it's better than nothing.
