Oyster Roast

 We spent Friday cleaning up & getting things ready for Saturday's oyster roast.  John brought home pumpkins for the boys & they had fun carving them that evening.
Love that little baby face ; )
 Oyster season opened Monday, so Saturday night we steamed up 4 bushels for our annual party.  This is our friend's adorable little guy, Garrett, rocking out with the band.  We had amazing weather & lots of fun with our friends & neighbors. 
 Possum Creek w/Big Al Hall.....so good!!!
 You don't see many of them in the picture, as they were all off running wild, but we had close to 50 kids here.  When we first started having these, I think we had about 3 kids at them, so we definitely have multiplied in the past few years!  Our boys love it, they spend all night running hard until they finally just crash out for a good night's sleep.  Nobody stirred at our house til after 7am, and that definitely NEVER happens here!
 Today was a pajama day at our house : )  Worked out well since Ian & Filson took almost 4 hr naps this afternoon!
 John worked hard this weekend, starting off by laying sod & putting in a small bed at the side entrance to our house.  The boys are disappointed that their digging spot is gone, but I absolutely love that we now have grass here!!
 And for all of you who have been to our house, you know that this car port usually resembles the home of Sanford & Son ; ), so I had to post this to show how it looks all cleaned up.  It seems so spacious!
 Grant loved all his alone time with his Dad while his brothers were snoozing.
Our littlest monster

What a fun tradition you have with the oyster party! Grant is getting so big. Filson's pumpkin looks pretty similar to Porters. We carved our yesterday and P drew the exact same mouth and eyebrows. Too funny.
