My Birthday, Pumkin Carving and Snow

My beautiful presents this year from David and the kids!!! He did good this year!!

Maggie, David and Gabby really enjoyed my Dora Cupcakes!:)

David had it in his head that it was my 40th birthday...so he put 40 candles in one cupcake. It started to break so he had to duck tape it. Isn't he sweet and creative?!
We got about 6 inches of snow this past week. The kids loved playing in in. I don't love how long it takes me to get 2 kids dressed for the snow...

These are all of our pumpkins we did! Kevins is first, then David and Dad, then Giselle's, and then mine and Maggie's!!
When we were picking out pumpkins, we saw the perfect pumpkin for Giselle! The bottom was skinny and and the top was fat and we thought she would have a hard time working with it, but she did awesome! It was pretty funny. Then she ended up doing the best pumpkin with the penguin!

It has been a busy week. We got back from Arkansas last Saturday morning at 6:00 a.m. and I think that I am just now catching up with sleep. We had Giselle and Kevin come over and do pumpkins with us again this year. This time last year Kevin and Giselle had just barely started dating and we got to embarrass Giselle a lot while carving the pumpkins!! The kids were really into the pumpkins this year too. They just jumped right into getting those seeds out! It was a lot of fun! Then we had my birthday yesterday. It was a great birthday. Dave took Maggie out with him on Wednesday night to get my cake and presents. They got back and Maggie came running downstairs and said, "Mommy guess what? We got you a cake and it is NOT pink. It is green!!" Then David came down and told me that he wasn't going to hide my presents and they might just be in different rooms in the house and to watch where I looked! So then he went to Young Men and I went to finish the laundry and found my first painting on the washing machine. Then in the morning I went upstairs and found the next painting on the oven. Then David came home early and let me get out. Then he gave me the final painting. Then we went out to dinner. It was a lot of fun! I had a great day! Thanks to everyone who made it so nice, especially David!! P.S. Maggie did a great job at keeping the cake a surprise! It was actually a pink and yellow Dora. She really threw me off!:)
