Kids First Night with Grandma and Grandpa!

The children rode from Dayton to Lexington with my brother and his family. Rod & I came home. My parents were at my brothers & they are staying there tonight since Dad has a meeting there tomorrow. After Dad's meeting they will head to my parents house in Tennessee.


The kids played with their cousins and this evening they carved pumpkins. Here are their master pieces:

The first one (pumpkin in a pumpkin) is by RJ, the cat is by B and the face/boo is by R. The ghost was done by my niece and the vampire was done by my nephew. I think they all did a great job! We do not celebrate Halloween in any way shape or form but told my brother/parents the kids could carve pumpkins. We have talked many times about how carving a pumpkin is like what Jesus does for us. He cleans out all the gunk in our lives and puts a new light inside of us.

I have talked to each of the kids 3 times since they got to Lexington. Each time I manage to 'hold up' ok. I do miss them terribly already. They were getting ready to watch a movie & go to bed IF they do not fall asleep during the movie. So I think I am going to head to bed too.
