Day 146.... Carving Pumpkins and Toasting Seeds

Every year we carve pumpkins with the kids. It is always fun to watch their reactions. Jack's is always the best, because year after year he finds it completely disgusting. This year was no exception!!

When we are done cleaning out the pumpkins we clean our seeds and let them dry and then toast them up. YUM!! Love this family fall tradition!



"It feels disgusting"
"It's like dead chicken guts"
"I think I'm going to be sick"
"It's like brains mom"!



Two big trays ready for toasting!!

Day 145..... FALL FESTIVAL

Today we headed to a local community fall festival. Victory Church does such a great job every year with rides, petting farm, games, inflatables,and food. It is so nice and everything is FREE!! The kids had such a blast.



They had a photo booth set up to take a crazy picture!

Day 144.. Scary Face Pancakes from IHOP

We headed to IHOP for their Free Scary Face Pancakes this morning! The kids love IHOP, and especially loved the candy corn, mini Oreos, strawberry and whip cream that made up the scary face today!! This special is available all day for kids age 12 and under so make sure you head in for some yummy fun!!

Day 143.. Making Boiled Peanuts

The kids (especially Carson) have been wanting to make boiled peanuts since September. Tonight was the lucky night.


The recipe we used: 2 pounds raw peanuts
4 qts of water
1/2 cup salt
2 cups of chicken stock
cook for about 4 hours

Day 142... GHOUL GOLF

Tonight we took the kids to Malibu in Norcross for some FREE putt putt. They are running a kids free mini golf promotion until Halloween. If you like them on FB and then go under their page to GHOUL GOLF there is a printout coloring page. If the kids fill it in with a picture they get a free round of mini golf. Offer is good until Halloween Day! Gotta love that!!

Our two top golfers Daddy and Carson both got a hole in one. Way to go guys!! Jack rounded out the top three for an all boys win Bronze, Silver, and Gold. We will get them next time girls!!

Day 141... .QT

Today we were amazingly busy trying to clean our disaster of a house. I told the kids if they all helped without a ton of complaining I would take them to QT as the fun thing of the day. They helped for almost 2 hours so off we went.

My kids LOVE, LOVE, LOVE QT. I think it the fact that they get to pick it all out themselves. Pour a slushie, drink, or smoothie, then they get to decide if they want a Taquito, hot dog or corn dog. I love it because they have fun with it and it is so inexpensive.

Jack loves it so much that I have already started in with the news that QT is not an acceptable date place when he starts dating. I can see it now. Jack thinking that he is the man pulling into QT for a Suicide Slushie with his girlfriend on a first date. Not going to happen. At least if I can help it.

What I do know about the QT is that if someday when the kids are older and QT is still around my kids will be telling their kids how mama and daddy would take them there for a special treat every so often. Who knew the QT could be so much fun??

Day 140.. Paint a Canvas

Today we were super excited to go to Creatively Yours in John's Creek for home school day. The kids painted an 8X10 canvas while enjoying the company of their friends. Lots of fun and something I would love for them to do monthly!! Thanks Robin for a great class!
