Pumpkin Carving

Our pumpkin carving took place over two evenings. The first evening Matt cut the top off and cleaned out Avery's pumpkin. Avery was quite disgusted by the "guts" of the pumpkin but she was interested in the seeds! The first picture is what Avery does when you say "Cheese!" She is a very silly girl! The next night, I carved a bat on Avery's pumpkin. I was inspired by Avery's Halloween card from Uncle Jason and Jessica, that Avery loves to carry around. The last group of pictures is our attempt to take a posed shot of the final product. Avery was not too cooperative but we managed to get a few shots that seem to capture her personality!

Fall in Seattle

Last weekend we enjoyed some typical fall activities with Nonnie and Boppie (Matt's parents) who were in town visiting from Oregon. On Saturday we took Avery to her first football game at Husky Stadium. The Huskies didn't do so well against the Beavers(which made the Oregonians in the family happy!), but Avery enjoyed eating her way through the game and you can't beat the view! On Sunday we went to the pumpkin patch with Avery's cousins. Avery enjoyed riding in the wagon, picking out a pumpkin and playing with her cousins. She tried very hard to pick up her pumpkin, with little success, as you can see from some of the pictures! We had a great weekend with Nonnie and Boppie!
