Pumpkin carving ......

The girls finished their homework, had a basketball game..... then the fun began.

Grandpa and I let them carve their pumpkins all by themselves. Their creativity was flowing, however time was limited to just an hour. Their mom would be home by then from a photo shoot. Then home they go.

Here they are carving away.... Excuse the red eyes.... They liked them for Halloween.

 

 

Sub.....

I have been so busy subbing. Wow. I can feel the money rolling in. My sister is subbing a long term sub job. Her husband is not real happy with her doing that. She told mom she didn't think she would sub any more.
Subbing makes you respect subs even more.

How time flies....

Here it is the last few days of October. Where or where has 2012 gone?

Parties, parties and more parties.

Rachel and Ashley have been busy going to parties. Kristina has been busy taking pictures at parties for people who have hired her. Wow and in a few days I will be busy planning for Thanksgiving.

HAHAHA....

Five little pumpkins sittin' on a gate.
The first one said oh my it's getting late.
The second on said there's witches in the air.
The third one said but we don't care.
The fourth one said let's run and and run and run.
The fifth one said let's have some Halloween fun.
Then Hooooo went the wind.
And out went the lights.
The five little pumpkins rolled out of site.

My children use to love this little poem. Get one to learn counting to 5.

Just when?

Just when will trick or treat be this week? I guess it will be on Halloween evening.

Here it is the last Saturday....

Here it is the last Saturday of October. Next Sunday time changes again. I thought it was dark early these past couple of weeks, but now it is going to be real early. At least when I get up in the mornings it will be light out.

Where or where?

Where or where are these people buried in the cemetery? I have been on the hunt for some folks at one of our local cemeteries. Winter is quickly approaching, so I won't be doing much more searching until next spring.... So folks I will get to your requests on warmer days.

Wow.... what a .....

Wow what a storm we had. Lighting was going across and down from the sky. Very little thunder. Lots of rain. Just think it could be snow.
The storm brought down a large branch from the neighbor's tree. I will try to get a picture of it.

It's time......

Well it seems that it is time again to be doing our fall clean up. We had a small storm this morning. The neighbor has another large tree branch down.
 We are cleaning out closets. It is amazing how much stuff accumulates in closets.

Can't believe.....

I can't believe how hard it is to make a post every single day. Not many more days left in this year.
In just 10 weeks my husband will be retired... wow... Time is going by quickly. Wonder what he plans to do with his time except ~ eat, sleep, watch TV and poop.

More, and more and more....

I have been scanning more and more and more cookbooks, recipes and magazines. My stack is getting smaller and smaller. Of course Lara's is getting bigger and bigger.
Downsizing since we are both retired. ..... Woohoo!

It seems strange as my husband and I have never in all of our many years together, been not working. Wow. We have had like a week or two vacations, but never unlimited number of days together. It is really going to take some adjustments on both of us.

Busy girls- Ashley chosen as a member of an elite basketball team, Rachel made cheerleader.

The girls are sooo busy.
Ashley is now playing basketball for an elite basketball team. Rachel made cheerleader.
Rachel has a boyfriend and they try to do things together. They want to go to the movies this weekend.
Rachel also has a hit-a-thon this weekend. 50 pitches to raise money for her softball team.
Kristina has been so busy with her photograph.
Life is never dull around here.

I think it's

I think it's about time I go and visit my little buddy. I won't have time for at least another week.... Wow I sure do miss visiting with my boys. I see the girls everyday now. I miss seeing my Miss K also.  I just need to win the lottery.

I have been subbing

I have been subteaching much more this month. I will be very busy next month also. Wow I do like this... Sometimes though it can be very frustrating.

Miss K... shots?

Miss K got some live virus shots. She hasn't been feeling well. So her mom made an appointment for today... well guess what.... that's right she is better today.... ugh... it always happens. lol

Covered Bridge Festival

Went to the Covered Bridge Festival... it was kind of disappointing this year. I didn't think it was as nice. Last year we went to the other places, besides Rockville and I thought it was nothing but junk... Flea market type stuff.
The booths in Rockville has some handmade things, but the MADE IN CHINA bunch seemed to get a few booths.
It was also disappointing because Billie Creek was not open. That was always the highlight of the day.

I am making....

I am making my hats for the bazaar. So little time and so much to do..... I will succeed. I will succeed.
I will win the lottery..... LOL!

Sewing... costumes and crafts

Sewing costumes and crafts.... I love these kinds of days. Helping Lara with Miss K's costume. This will be the first one that Lara has made...

Lara and I sewed a bunch of spots on that costume. By hand.....
So much fun. I miss the days of working on costumes.

Skype with Katelyn

Katelyn and I skyped tonight. Grandpa joined in. She showed us her new laptop. However the laptop wasn't near as much fun as the Ipad.
I know this child will be loving computers, cell phones and anything else she can get her hands on.
This past weekend we spent time with lots of family members. Miss K had her first birthday party... It was so nice to visit with everyone.
