Painting Pumpkins Pink

I ordered Coby's Halloween costume last week, thinking it might take a couple weeks to arrive. Well, "Suprise!", it showed up three days later. He has been asking for a football helmet since Cory's birthday when he got one and we have been putting it off, promising he could have it as a Halloween costume. The package arrived Thursday and it wasn't until this morning that I finally got it off of him. I think we have ourselves a Gator.


The UF Cancer Research Center (where Ada works) hosted a "Paint A Pumpkin Pink" event this weekend to raise awareness for Breast Cancer. We had a great time pinking out our HOT pink pumpkin and then painting it green, Coby's favorite color.

Afterwards we took a walk around Lake Alice with the boys. Here they are leaning over to get a better look at a gator gobbling up a fish for lunch!

That evening Robert and I went out to dinner to celebrate our 4th anniversary. Horray for date night!

Today was spent running to Home Depot and working on the play structure. Coby wants to be in on all the action of course.
We also managed to take a little time out to walk the San Felasco trail with Nicole, Griffen, and Lincoln. The boys had a great time stomping in the creek and throwing sticks off of the bridge.
Here's Coby showing off his pumpkins.
