Ever since we got our pumpkins the girls have been wanting to carve them. They were trying to decide what kind of face they wanted on their own pumpkin (McKell had the biggest, then Alyssa, and Nate's was the baby pumpkin). Alyssa made up her mind and wanted a sad face. McKell took a while trying to figure out what would be the best. She finally decided on having 2 faces and each face being 2 different expressions. I told her she could only have one face so she choose to have half the face scary and half the face happy.
I have noticed lately, maybe since she started school that McKell has been a lot broader in her likes. She used to have a favorite color (pink), now she likes "all the colors in the rainbow except for black and brown". For the pumpkins she wanted to include 4 different expressions, not to leave any out. Is it just a stage or is her public school experience teaching her to not have favorites? I think it is a very interesting 'stage' and will be noticing when she starts to grow out of it. I can imaging how horrible it must be in a kindergarten class when everyone wants the same color paper or whatever, so this would be the likely solution. She says to Alyssa a little phrase that she learned at school "you get what you get and you don't pitch a fit". Not that Alyssa ever had a choice in the matter. If you ask Alyssa what her favorite color is she says "orange". Why you may ask- because we have little plates and cups for the girls to use and McKell always wanted the pink ones so she convinced Alyssa that her favorite color was orange so they could both have their favorites! So Alyssa is stuck with orange for however long just because it has been ground into her. Hmmm, what will Nate's favorite color be? or maybe the better question would be who is going to pick it- McKell, Alyssa, or Nate?

The favorite color thing is hilarious. Maybe he'll have two favorites...one picked by each girl!
Way cute pictures! Good job with the pumpkins. I love McKell's indecision. SHe is too funny.
So fun! We still need to do our pumpkins and our Haunted House. I love the ideas McKell has!!
That Mckell makes me laugh, Abby keeps asking when we're going to Iowa to visit you. I just tell her we're going tomorrow. Very sneaky I know. Cute pumpkins.
Oh the joys of having an older sibling. I was the oldest so-oh the joys of being the boss!
Too Funny! Mckell & Alyssa they make me laugh! I love that Alyssa's favorite color is orange.
What a cute picture, all the kids look so big, did Nate recently have a growth spurt?
So what is Phil trying to grow on his chin?? HE HE HE!
You noticed Phil's little patch. His parents called to ask the same thing. He thinks he is pretty cool with his 'soul' patch.
