Teacher Inservice / student holiday

Monday was a student holiday at school. So we took daddy to the airport, got subway, then the girls did what sisters do. Fun sister time....girls can be goofy. These pictures make me smile. What an imagination these two have.

Pumpkin patch

On Sunday we went to the pumpkin patch. Dana and Bruce met us there with the Twitty kids...then we went back to the house and painted them. Painting is so much better than carving...less mess and the pumpkins don't rot.

The pretty aqua blue color???...I smile when I see anything this color.

Halloween Decorating

A few weeks ago it was Halloween Decorating time. I always count down the days until I can start decorating for Halloween. I love getting in the spirit and getting 100% out of every holiday. This is our 12th Halloween as a family. The years are flying by.
This year we're making a spooky gingerbread house, Boo'ing our neighbors (more to come about this), and having a Halloween family party at our house sitting outside with good food, fun cousins and lots of trick or treating.

Only 15 days until Halloween...
