Pumpkin Carving, Halloween, and Thankfulness!

We love our subdivision, our neighbors, and fun fall festivities...so it only seemed natural to have a pumpkin carving party! We ordered pizza, carved pumpkins, and hung out. It was a fun night!

We were all trying to be creative, but all ending up carving our monogram or initial...haha! At least our houses in PS3 looked cute with our matching pumpkins on our porches! :)

I was TIRED with a capital T on Halloween. My kindergarten babies wore me out between our carnival and party. :) We ended up laying low and scratching our plans to visit a haunted house and another neighborhood get together we usually attend every year. And yes, the sweet voices of precious little kids saying Trick or Treat, Blakely getting so excited every time our doorbell would ring, and Matt being so cute and asking what every costume was made me tear up. More than once. Why do I love Halloween so much...or any holiday for that matter???

I feel like I say that I am thankful all the time. It is seriously one of my favorite words. I love saying it. :) I am going to be posting things that I'm thankful for (in no particular order) for the month of November...hopefully every day.

Today I am thankful for my amazing, plantation obsessed, funny, loving husband. All day long I couldn't wait to come home and have our "date"...breakfast for supper, Nashville and the CMA awards. I look over at him peacefully sleeping really early in the mornings while I have all the lights on and the music blaring (and sometimes try to carry on conversations with him) and just think about how blessed I am that the Lord brought us together. He is my best friend and so, so selfless. I could write a book about all the kind things he does, funny things he says, ways that he has been there for me, things I love that we do together, or ways that he is the spiritual leader for our family. But, it's just the little things that make me love him so much. Like Monday...it was the coldest day in history in Thomasville I think and I mentioned that I sort of wanted to watch one of my kids play in their last soccer game of the season. He didn't hesitate to go with me. We put on our long johns, packed up the chairs, and off we went. And we had a great time! Not any hubby would be so giving us his time! I love you Matty!
