Vacation at Home

For the past week, my husband has been on vacation.  Usually when he has time off work, we go somewhere.  We live far away from our families, and think it's important to see them as much as possible, so we are often traveling to visit someone.  This week, for the first time in a long time, we vacationed at home.  It was wonderful.

We got to spend lots of great quality time with the Daddy.  He was able to come to Miss's gymnastics class and to the girls' music class.

 I think he really enjoyed observing both classes.  Miss has really blossomed in her gymnastics class and both girls really get into their music class.  Miss loves to sing and play the instruments and Lass is a total ham.


Today we went to brunch, where we got to carve pumpkins for Halloween.  Miss and Daddy did all the work on our pumpkin.  Last year the Daddy did it all by himself, but this time Miss was able to really participate.

She helped scoop out the guts


and decide what type of face to draw for the Jack-o-lantern.


 Lass enjoyed wandering around and looking at some of the other pumpkins.



 Miss was even able to help cut out the pumpkin face.



 She was pretty happy with the finished product.


We also spent lots of fun time with Daddy at home.  Tonight Miss got to try out her new dot markers by drawing with Daddy.


They drew snakes and faces and lots of grapes and blueberries.



It has been a great week.
