Pumpkin Carving!

Friday!

What a day yesterday was. It was definitely a Friday. Anna had her egg drop yesterday at school with her science class. The egg drop is a lot of fun for the kids to do. We put an egg in a watermelon. Just in the center of it. Then we duct taped the watermelon to make sure that it would somewhat stay together when it was dropped. Taylor did this experiment when she was in sixth grade. She said that the watermelon went all over the place. So we decided to put duct tape all around the watermelon this time. Duct tape is the cure all for everything. It fixes all things. So I have heard.

Then her teacher get up on the roof and drops all her students gadgets to see who's egg survived the drop. Anna's was the last drop. The egg survived the drop, the watermelon,was not so good. It is gone. It definitely went splat.

Then after Devin and I were done watching all the eggs drop, we went over to my work. While I was there the owner came over so that we could find a place for our printer that she got us. As we were doing that, Devin was wandering around and doing his normal there at work. When all of sudden the fire alarm went off. Now of course my first thought was which resident pulled the fire alarm. Because that is usually what happens. But no. My child decided to be a Dennis the Menace and pull on the fire alarm. It was quiet funny. And my boss, Karren, laughed too. It is a good thing that she has a great sense of humor. Cause I was quiet embarrassed that my son pulled the fire alarm. But I guess that is what boys do, they just have to play with buttons and pull things to see how they work.

That was my Friday......What a day!

Traditional BonFire !

Saturday we had our traditional bonfire. We hold these every year around this time in October. My kids really enjoy doing. We cook hot dogs and s'mores over an open fire. It is really alot of fun. It is a nice start to the fall holiday season. This year we invited my brothers and their families. I only had one of my brother show up. Hopefully next year the rest of them will come. We sure missed having my other brothers there. Then we also invited our next door neighbors. So we cooked our hot dogs, had our s'mores, and enjoyed each others company.

Steve, my brother and his wife,Dee, and Anna decided to brave the fire and stand and cook.

The fire was pretty hot, so Gerald and Christopher laid on the ground and cooked their hot dogs.

Halloween Decorations!

This is the easy way to decorate! By computer. I was just playing around with the photos. This site is alot of fun to play on.

I have been STOCKED!!!!

So My Dear Sweet Neighbor decided that she would do some recycling thru the nieghborhood, with corn stalks. She decided that she would go and stalk some of her neighbors. Debbie was also sweet enough to use some of our corn stalks. Less we have to get rid of. And yes, she did do our house with some help from Gerald and I. It is great to have such a fantastic neighbor. Love ya Deb.

Soccer! Night! And Freeezzzingg Cold!

Well Christopher had a game last night. It was cold. We sat in the van the whole time he played. Luckily we could park right by the field so that we could see. Otherwise we would have sat out in the cold to watch him play.

They lost 4-0, but it was a good game. Christopher bug the coach to play goalie. So that last 15 minutes of the game he got to play goalie. He did a very good job. They had alot of attempts, but he didn't let them thru. He only let the score twice. He did a very good job. Proud of you Christopher.
