On Friday, we started the evening with a game of touch football in the neighborhood triangle. Owen's favorite route is a left to right post. Walter just likes to take hand-offs. After the game, we made up Berry and Coconut ice cream bowls, and watched a few movies that we had earlier picked up at BlockBuster. Walter's choice was "The Chipmunks Halloween" and Owen picked a Veggie Tales episode. I picked 'getting some shut eye'.
On Saturday morning after breakfast we went bowling at Cedarville Lanes. Owen started the day with a strike down the middle. Walter countered with two spares and took home the honor of beating his brother in both games that we played. Owen confirmed that he wants a bowling birthday party.
After the bowling we grabbed a quick Mexican lunch and picked up a pumpkin at a local stand. I only call it a Mexican lunch because it was at a Mexican restaurant....Owen had a hot dog and Walter had a cheeseburger. I went with the tacos. I'm not sure if the sour stomach was from them or another Gopher loss.
Once we got home, we carved our first pumpkin of the year. It was a scary two headed monster with each boy responsible for drawing a face. After they were drawn, Owen did the carving (see the pictures below), and we saved the seeds for roasting. The seeds must have been good since we had them all down within a half hour (check out the recipe I used: Pumpkin Seed Recipe ).
After the pumpkin carving, we headed back to Blockbuster because the boys wanted to rent a few Wii games to play. Walter picked Mario Galaxy 2 and Owen picked Carnival Mini Golf. When we got home, we decided to go back to the triangle for a little more touch football before we played video games. After the video games were over, uncle Moogs came over and we played a few rounds of UNO. Walter won the first game and Owen won the other. Uncle Moogs is still dusting off UNO cobwebs.
As we were getting ready for bed, we remembered that Griffin had eaten their toothbrushes earlier in the day. As a result, I gave them an ol' boy scout lesson in finger toothbrushing. It was a fun end to a fun day.
