pumpkin fun

hold on to your hats folks this is gonna be a big one. we went the other day to a little (fake) pumpkin patch that this church had. deuce wasn't so sure bout the whole thing but nonetheless was a pretty good sport about it. we also didn't pick the best time of day as you can tell it was quite sunny but it was after lunch and we all know how happy the man is after he eats. we took lots of pics and i culdn't really decide wich ones i liked best so i thought why not post them all....or at least the majority of them. so here you go.........

i think his cheeks r as big as the pumpkins!

now for the carving...... deuce wasn't much into it but it was still fun!

and finally our two pumpkins.........

happy halloween! luv mel dave n deuce!

best buddies

deuce n bronco are becoming best buddies or at least deuce thinks so. he loves to crawl all over him and chase him around the house. he just doesn't understand why bronco won't chase him back. as you've seen in other pics he also likes to play fetch with him. here is a little video of a typical night for deuce n bronco!

well that's all for now!

luv mel dave n deuce

things to do during a hurricane lockdown

well this past week was quite eventfull.... nanna came up on wednesday the 3rd and i guess she brought with her hurricane hannah! we were on hurricane watch/lockdown friday and saturday. so we found some things to do.......

here is what i decided to do during the lockdown........

take down wall paper (wich actually turned into a project for nanna, who took down almost the whole kitchen)

and here is what dave n deuce did.....(watched cartoons)

i faux painted a wall

and here is was dave n deuce did...(played madden)

are you starting to notice a pattern? well we survived hannah with only the loss of part of a tree

some of the other happenings for this past week were my bday and of course the start of football season YEAH! (notice the lovely blue, grey and white background, go cowboys!) and of course with nanna being here deuce had a very eventful week!

for my bday we all went to a sports bar to watch monday night football

nanna bought us a grill so of course we had to test it out right away

nanna (grandmas in general) are great for making toys out of stuff just layn around

with

1. an empty box

2. extra pillow

3. unused belt

you get....an indoor wagon! and hours of intertainment!

all in all it was a great week. thanks to nanna for our mini vacation (i don't think dave n i washed a single dish or changed a single diaper while she was here) and deuce loved the full time intertainment!

last i will leave you with a video of how excited deuce is about football season

well that's all for now

luv mel dave n deuce!
