Pumpkin Carving

                                                Savannah didn't like getting her hand dirty

                                    All I could find at the grocery store were these little pumpkins

                                              Little Miss scooping out the seeds with a spoon

                      This was her attempt to get the seeds out of the pumpkin without getting dirty

                                                       Mommy had to finish the job

                                Savannah trying to put the cutout pieces back into the pumpkin

                                                                  Finished product

Work Halloween Party

 This is Savannah's favorite doll right now since she is really into Cinderella. She carries her around like she is her baby. Aunt Jenny did an awesome job on the costume!

 Getting ready to sing karaoke which never ended up happening because we were missing the cord that connects to the video

                                     Getting all excited to start the trick or treating in the office

                                All smiles and this bowl was filled to the Max by the time we left the party

                                                      Looking for even more candy

                                                  Can't decide on which candy to eat first

                                                         Sorry dad I'm the boss now

                                                Going door to door collecting all her goodies

                               Savannah wasn't even scared to see what was behind the curtain

Cooking with Daddy

Frank wanted to cook a turkey for dinner today. Here is Savannah starting to help daddy in the kitchen. She just loves to helping whenever she can. 

Tom's Pumpkin Farm

 This year we decided to try a new pumpkin farm and I absolutely fell in love with it. We ventured over with Frank's family to Tom's Pumpkin Farm. They had a rope spider web that you could climb up. The kids entertained themselves with corn mazes, wooden train, climbing on hay stacks, petting zoo, driving mini tractors, and playing in the silo full of corn. It was so amazing and I can't wait to go back there. I could hardly pull Savannah away when it was closing time.

Happenings for the Week

1.  The kids have Homecoming this week at school. They go to separate schools and Sarah stayed with her mother last night to attend the football game and Frankie went to his own game. Both of the kids are attending the dance tonight. Sarah is getting dropped off at our house once the dance ends.

2. We are all looking forward to seeing General Conference..at least the adults are. We are planning on having a big breakfast tomorrow and just spending time together as a family.

3. Savannah gave down ill this week with the flu. Not fun cleaning up puke!! We have been nursing her back to health.  I came down sick also and have been feeling all shaky and weak as a result.

4. My parents mission is finally over. They flew Jenny out to Africa 3 weeks ago and completed there last week on the mission and than went sight seeing in So Africa, Kenya and headed back over to England. They flew back in Washington DC last night and will visit Barbara for a couple of days and than head back home on Monday. Yeah what a relief!! It felt weird to talk to them over the phone.

5. We celebrated Customer Service Appreciation week at work. We played games, enjoyed a cookout, received treats every day and got to wear jeans all week. It was lots of fun! We had a mini carnival on Friday. The top three winning teams participated in a food fear factor. I'm glad that my team lost.

6. Last week I took Savannah and her friend Hailey to Monkey Joe's and the kids had a blast. It's a bounce house for little kids.

7. A couple of weeks ago Frankie had hernia surgery and seems to be healing nicely. He is almost back to his normal self.

8. Fall is officially here and the weather has taken a turn for the worse and has become cold. Burr!

Pumpkin Farm

Today was very cold outside but I decided to get out of the house and ventured down to Randy's pumpkin farm. We didn't stay long however I did get a few pictures. I purchased tickets for Savannah to go on some of the carnival rides and she decided after the fact to not ride any of them and I couldn't get my money back. I will have to attempt to go back and use them or will have to give them away to a friend. What a bummer!
