One SCARY Night!

 

Saturday, Zach and I carved our first pumpkin!  I don’t guess it turned out too bad for beginners. 

   

WE put it out by the front door and waited for our trick or treaters. 

  

On Friday I made 55 treats to hand out to our little scary visitors.  We handed them all out and a whole basket of candy. 

Zach watched for our scary visitors.  One of them REALLY scared him! Needless to say, he scampered away with a frightened whimper. 

And then there were these scary creatures! 

Do you recognize any of them?

Joel even got in on the fun of handing out candy….

and taking Zach out for a little trick or treating.

 

But this little Thomas guy didn’t need too much trick or treating.  He was a sleepy guy who didn’t get a nap.

 

He was glad to see Autumn, Sara, Alex and Morgan.

Here are Sara, Alex, and Zach….the little messes in disguise.

We even tried Papa Murphey’s take and bake pizza that night.  It was good.  I really enjoyed the bread sticks.  It was nice being able to heat at our convenience. 

Well, what an exciting evening in our neighborhood! 

HAPPY FALL YA’LL!

 

Mom….you have any GRAPES?

One of Zach’s favorite saying lately has been….."Mom, you have any grapes?”  So I  answer, “No, Zach!  I don’t have any grapes.” Mind you, he knows exactly when to ask this question……like when he’s getting in trouble.  He may change it to something like….”Mom, you don’t have any grapes?”  He may even say it to someone else….. “My mom don’t have any grapes.” or “My mom have to buy some  grapes.”  What a silly boy! 

On the way home, I had an AM station on that had quite a bit of static and the wipers were on fiercely wiping away the ton of rain that fell this evening.  Zach said, “Mom, turn it off. (the radio)   It’s making too much noise."

On your Mark, get set, CLEAN!

On Saturday, I had so much to do after a week of work, and I had so much to do to prepare for Sunday.  I was overwhelmed.  So, I got Zach entertained and set the timer for 30 minutes to see how much I could get done.  Well, this is what I accomplished!  (Don’t you like the reflection of the me and the camera?)I folded and put away 2 loads of laundry.  I even hung a fresh new hand towel in the bathroom! 

As usual, I had to stop to take care of my 3 year old’s needs.  I had to open a package of Pringles….. and put away a pair of Dad’s shoes…..  and pick up all of these little trains as well as put all of the little shelves back in the “Thomas fridge”.  Boy, that is a tedious job in itself!       Then off I headed to the kitchen to pledge all of my kitchen counters(and appliances)  and put a new bag in the garbage can.  Wow, you can get a lot done in 30 minutes.

Preschool Cousins!

I thought this was a cute picture off of Jamie’s facebook of the 3 little munchkins.   I decided it was worth sharing.   I think these 3 give Marci and Misty a run for their money……but, they keep on trying.
