Pumpkin carving 2010

We had a full house this weekend for pumpkin carving. We carved about a dozen pumpkins and had close to 30 people over for food and fun. The big kids were more independent this year and did most of the carving themselves.

More halloween pics

As always, Halloween was a blast this year. We trick or treated with lots of friends from the neighborhood, only about half of whom sat still long enough for a picture.

Clara's 3rd birthday party

We had TONS of fun celebrating Clara's birthday party at the Little Gym. We had about a dozen kids and everybody had a great time running, flipping, jumping and spinning at the party.

Tons of pictures to share, so whatever doesn't make it to the blog can be seen in the picassa album at the link below. Just click on the picture and it will take you to the birthday party album.

Three year well check

Clara's three year well check was today. She weighed 29 lbs (4 lbs gained since last year) and she is 37 3/4" tall. She has grown almost six inches this year. She is in the 33% for weight and 69% for height.

She was an angel at the doctors office and had a conversation with the doctor about all her favorite things.... favorite color? pink. favorite toy? pink. favorite food? pink. :)
