Pumpkins

We have been going on a lot of outings lately.  We have needed to be out of the house frequently for some reason.  Maybe because when we are home I feel like there is too much work to be done and I can't concentrate on the kids enough.  We've been swimming several times and to the library frequently.  The girls swim every week but we've been going to the dive shop pool and my Mom's gym.  We went snorkeling in the dive pool on Saturday.  Red Fish can dive to the bottom of the pool and then surface and clear her snorkel without taking her face out of the water.  It amazes me. I swear she is part fish. We took another trip to the aviary with friends.  The kids had a great time.  My little animal lovers can't stay away from zoos, aquariums, museums and now the aviary.
Nobody looks very happy in this picture but they had a great time.
 We carved our annual pumpkins for Family home evening.  I'm kind of over Halloween now.  We may have overdone it this year with all of the seasonal projects, outings etc.  The kids can't have too much Halloween though.  This year we let them do a lot of their own carving and complete creative control.  It was fun to see what they came up with.  New Fish loved carving so much we had a really hard time getting her to quit and go to bed.  The dog kept trying to eat everyone's pumpkin guts and grossing Red Fish out.  She kept gagging and saying he was eating goober.
