Fantasy Pumpkins?

Sundays during football season can be very tiring!! Yosh is OBSESSED with his fantasy football teams…yes plural. This year he has THREE fantasy teams AND is involved in a pick ‘em league…which equals FOUR teams to be managing during football season! So he LOVES LOVES LOVES to watch football with his boyfriends, with the laptop open in front of him so he can keep up with the Live Scoring, relaxing, talkin’ trash to his friends! Doesn’t sound tiring does it…UNTIL you end up with 3-5 guys over your house from 9:30am until into the evening!!! They are drinking beers, cooking fatty foods, shouting at eachoth and sometimes there are children in that mix!! Makes for a long day! haha But the men even created a co-ed husband and wife fantasy league called The Ball and Chain League…and I must admit…it’s pretty fun! Makes Sunday a bit more fun forsure!

And this Sunday ended up being another great one…after the issue with the Gerke’s cable (damn Charter!)…the football party was moved to the Souza house (which I was trying to avoid since the cleaning lady had just come this week BUT whadda gonna do hahaha)
So we thought…all these kids would just LOVE to carve pumpkins…right???
haha  WRONG!

Its pretty funny how us parents are all excited to carve these amazing little pumpkins with our children…and it ends up the parents doing everything since the kids think its too gross to touch! :/   Notice how in the group pictures up there the parents are doing the work while kids are standing around watching!! haaha Someday they will actually help us right??!?  Talk about a messy pain in the butt! haha

Since it seems that everyone is crazy about Pinterest right now…so some of you will appreciate this. My friend Heather searched for pumpkin pics and found a really adorable one of a cute baby sitting in a huge pumpkin. So…Heather and Matt tried to make it happen.

 

Baby Brynn was such a little trooper for this picture. And Heather and Matt are so darn patient. This pic is totally cute but MAN…it took some major time to get her in there w/o screaming!!

 

 

 

These are the pictures leading up to that perfect little pose. But in the end Baby Brynn really is an amazing little model!!! And Thank You pinterest for giving Heather the cute idea!!!! Time to get back to Pinning some more CUTE ideas!! haha

The kids loved playing outside on this warm October afternoon, pretending to help us clean and carve the pumpkins. Key word PRETENDING!! haha But all in all it was fun!

And I think the best part was seeing Owen and how excited he was about his pumpkin being lite up after bath-time!  He was so proud of his pumpkin!! It was so cute!

Owen, Addi and Ryland posing with their Halloween pumpkins!

Few more days until Halloween…pretty excited! I love this time of year!
