Pumpkin Carving!

It's been a busy, busy week for us! Hailey had a doctor's appointment on Thursday. She weighs 12 pounds 7 ounces, is 24 1/2 inches long and her head is 39cm. She's in the 50th percentile for height and the 25th for weight and her little head is in the less than 5th percentile. She was the smallest baby in her class! Then we visited with our cousin who came up from Oregon and came home to get the house ready for our party on Friday. A couple years ago we had a pumpkin carving party at our house and everybody really had a good time so we thought we would do it again this year... only problem was that we hadn't picked out our pumpkins yet. So yesterday afternoon we went to the pumpkin patch. It was pretty slim pickins but we found the perfect ones for us. Then we went to the store, picked up some groceries and some tables and came home to make food and prepare for company. Hailey is teething so it made it a little more difficult to get things done, but we managed. Jonathan put some stuff on Hailey's gums and that seemed to really calm her down :) Hailey missed most of the festivities but we had a great time with everybody!

Nothing like drinking and using sharp objects to carve pumpkins.... Good thing we had some EMT on scene :)

The "Rainier" pumpkin is Jason's, can't imagine where he got his inspiration (See picture above) ;)

Everybody did such a great job on their pumpkins and we all had a wonderful time! Can't wait to do it again next year!
