jack-o-lanterns!

Well, the snow is all gone... but it was a good preview of what will soon come!

So our weekend was spent pretty lazily getting ready for the next season:

we tried on snow gear, got our ski passes made, put away the bicycles in the shed and fenced our little aspen tree in the front yard to protect it from the deer!

We were also planning on storing the trampoline for the season - but the boys must have sensed something was up because they ended up spending a beautiful afternoon jumping, flipping and playing on it! Maybe next weekend...

One thing we did accomplish yesterday was carving our pumpkins!

Hamp and Sam designed and scooped their own (but mom & dad wielded the knives!) and were so pleased with how their jack-o-lanterns turned out!

Looking forward to Wednesday....

note:  those are flames around his eyes... not eyelashes!

don't know which face is crazier!
