goodbye binky

On Sunday, Heston said goodbye to his binky. We gathered them all up and he tossed them in the trash. (I kept this one though because I'm a sentimental sap that way.) He hasn't been sleeping well all week but I'm hoping it'll get better soon.

On Tuesday, we had a break from our after-school activities and we took the kids to the pumpkin patch. It was really nice to be able to hang out as a family on a weeknight without rushing somewhere.
Instead of carving the pumpkins, I bought these Mr. Potato Head kits at Target a couple of years ago. You just poke the little pieces in and that's it, fast and no mess.
We're in the middle of our soccer season. The weather has finally cooled down, it's so nice. Braden's team are the Vampires and Paige's team are the Inferno. She has little flames on her uniform, so cute! Soccer is so much fun, the kids love it.

Wow - nice work. Matthew never has his during the day now, but the night is going to be hard. We just need to bite the bullet and do it.
