Trick or Treat?

Just a quick post to let you see our hippie and "pajama girl"!! We experienced a "first" in the Gorman household tonight as we went trick or treating! We usually hit the Fall Funfest at church, but since they didn't have that this year, we hit up some of our friends around town to enjoy the night! The 2nd pic is of Kaleb and his long time buddy Jackie!

Pumpkin Carving...

The boys suprised the girls with pumpkins and carving kits! We made our places in the kitchen floor and began the task... Karsyn especially enjoyed putting her hand inside the pumpkin and pulling out "the worms"! She also enjoyed slinging them all over the kitchen! She always has her own agenda. Kaleb wasn't as sure about the slimy insides as she was! They disected pumpkin seeds and each helped cut out the faces! The final products are awesome! We all had so much fun!!!

Baking with Karsyn...

So Karsyn and I set out to make pumpkin cookies!! This concept in itself is pretty entertaining if you know Karsyn! We prepared the batter without any major disasters, however the kitchen may never be the same after Karsyn got her hands in the flour! I don't know what was more fun, rolling the dough, cutting out the cookies or patting our floured hands together to make "rain"!! I am sure you can figure that out by the pictures!! We enjoyed some quality "girl" time and the final product actually looked great too! And of course we heard no complaints about the taste either!

Longhorn Football....

This football stuff is pretty intense! The Longhorn team has made the playoffs! They are #1 in there division and #2 in the League! We will begin playoffs on Saturday, November 3rd.

Birthday Junkie!!

So... I am a little behind posting, but I warned you all of that when I started! Anyway, Karsyn is officially 6!! It is very hard to believe... it seems like just yesterday that we were holding the little 5lb 8oz bundle in our arms! Long gone are those days! And she is quick to inform you of that! She began celebrating October 1st, even though her birthday is the 7th! She is a bit like her father in the birthday & Christmas categories!! We celebrated on Friday at school with cupcakes (no sprinkles of course!! hee! hee!) Then on Saturday, we celebrated with family and friends at Bath Junkie on the square. They closed the place down, and the girls had full reign! They all got to make there own salt scrub and bubble bath. They even got to pick the scent and the color!! This place is addicting! Everyone should try it out! As you can see in the pictures, even Daddy enjoyed it! She got awesome gifts and had a great time with her friends. The following day was the REAL day, and we spent it with Nanny (my grandmother), Aunt Connie, cousin Michelle and Nana of course! They traveled all the way from Amarillo to celebrate! She even got a surprise visit from Uncle Chad and Aunt Emily! We had a great weekend! Karsyn was sad to see it come to an end!

Election time already??

So Kaleb decided that he would begin his political career and run for Bennett Student Council... As any politician, he began his campaign well before the "actual campaigning" time! He floated in and out of conversations about "who" was running and who was voting for who! He came home with useful info everyday! He prepared his speech and hung his poster with care! The day had finally arrived... he gave his speech, (ending with, "Oh! And I will see what I can do about getting colder water in the drinking fountains up here on the 2nd floor too!"), and returned to his seat to listen to what the other candidates promised! The votes were in!! And they waited! And waited! Two whole days they waited! I think we may need to talk to administration about that... Finally, Thursday was here and the announcements (which are televised) began! He did it!! He is now a proud member of the Bennett Student Council, and for those of you who know him, he has a mission!! Here are a few pics of him taking his oath at a school assembly this past Friday. I am not sure if this is a look of intent, or a case of nerves!! Whatever it is, he is such a cutie!
