We have had a very busy few days recently! Thursday night, we had our annual "Massey Family Fun Night" of pumpkin carving and making and eating (the best part of the evening!) caramel apples! The girls were very excited to carve their pumpkins.....or atleast, help mom and dad decorate them. Lauren REALLY got into the process of cleaning hers out this year and spent alot of time with just a small kitchen spoon digging out all of the yuk and seeds! Of course, she wanted to wear plastic gloves while doing it (as well as Allison!) but she worked on it for a lot longer than her older sister and really enjoyed it. She did tell us at the end of the night that "it is hard working with pumpkins like that and it makes me tired!" ; ) Katelyn didn't seem to interested in her little pumpkin but enjoyed "running" around the garage in her walker! Lauren also liked making silly faces for the camera that night since Daddy was carving a silly face on his pumpkin and she wanted to show him what it should look like! Friday night, we did a bit of trick-or-treating to family members' houses and then headed to our church's annual "Harvest Bash", which is always a big hit with our kiddos. They have several bounce houses, games of all kinds and of course...tons and tons of candy! This year, Jason and I volunteered to help with one of the games which means that we dressed up in costumes (hubby had to have a bit of encouragment for that!) as a 50's couple. I wore my mom's letter sweater and he wore his varisty jacket. It was fun! Allie thought we were weird parents because we dressed up and Jason, of course, got a kick out of embarassing her! : ) Because we helped with one of the games that also meant that we also got to hand out candy. Lauren ended up loving that because she thought that the GIANT bag of candy at our game "station" was just for her to enjoy and eat on all night long! Mommy quickly set her straight on that one! This year, Allie dressed up as Hannah Montana, with a beautiful blonde wig I might add...., Lauren was Minnie Mouse and Katelyn was our little yellow duck! They all had a great time and little Katie did great for her 1st Halloween. She got a bit tired by the end of the night as you will see from her yawning in one of the pics and she was beginning to pull Lauren's hair before we left that night (one of her favorite things to do while in the double stroller now!). Last but not least, tonight (Saturday night), Jason and I got a night out w/out the kiddos to attend our cousin's wedding. It was nice to just attend and not have to worry about chasing after the kids -- and we were treated to a great dinner as well so that was a bonus! : ) My sister and her hubby, my parents, aunt, cousins and their family also went so we had a great time with all of the family together. I'm including some pics from it as it seems that we usually put photos out there of our little ones so much and neglect the oldies but goodies! haha : ) What a great but very busy weekend!
