Flaming Jack-O-Lantern....

Alex and I are really getting used to living just the two of us...I was pushing the recycle bin to the street when I turned, he was following me with the garbage bin. I hadn't even asked him to help, he's just helping out! But in true Alex fashion, he did stop halfway down the driveway, flashed his handsome smile at me and asked, "I'm a big helper, aren't I mommy? Am I earning that puppy?" Oh goodness, he's a nugget and I LOVE him!!

We also carved pumpkins and we didn't have any accidents (huge for us!). Alex chose a flaming face for our design:

I just love this picture!!!! (Something about it resembles his cousin Connor!)

All lit up at night:

Thank you for your continued thoughts and prayers for Alex and me...they're helping more than you know!
