Halloween, DICKSON style

We carved some pumpkins for Halloween. We had a BLAST doing it too! D-man did a skull and cross bones, hubby did darth vader and I did John Mccain and Barack Obama. We're having a hard time getting a good photo of them all lit up. We'll keep trying and post when we get a good one. Until then, here's the kiddo with the pumpkins on the front porch:

Here's a shot of the pumpkins along with the spider web on the wall and the lights in the front window:

Happy Halloween, ya'll!

Little Man, Karate Master

The hubby and I decided that the little man needed some more physical activity, an additional way to make friends and an opportunity to learn self-control and discipline. So, we enrolled him in Taekwondo. It's really close to our house and there are a few kids from his school there that he already knew. Thursday was his first day.

His "nice" look.



His "mean" look.

He had a blast in the class and was eager to come home and practice. Needless to say, Friday morning, he was very sore. When it was time to go back to class today, he was a little upset that he would be sore again. I promised him that it wouldn't happen this time. Here's hoping he doesn't wake up tomorrow and prove me a liar!
