Pumpkin carving 2018

Only one Shecklet wanted to carve their pumpkin this year. We made cinnamon and sugar flavored seeds per Shecklet #2’s request.

Pink Sister

Our church held their annual craft and bake sale this morning. Shecklet #3 asked if she could buy a pink habit for her American Girl doll. We sent pictures to her godfather, who introduced us to the pink Sisters when we visited him in STL two years ago.

B-ball for Shecklet #3

It was Shecklet #3’s first b-ball game day today! The girls played two games and improved so much between game one and game two! So proud of them!

Studying ancient Rome

Shecklet #1 won a class game today and the prize was getting to wear this:

He is really enjoying middle school and loves his social studies and science classes.

Our good friend, Michelle, made us an amazingly delicious mocha cake!

Annual Orchard Visit 2018

We made our annual trip to the orchard where Grandma Patti works every fall. We went through the corn maze, washed apples, ate apples, picked apples, and selected pumpkins. It was a great day!

Tomato tomato

We had a bunker crop of grape tomatoes this year. We couldn’t believe how many grew off of two plants that we never thought would even make it. I went out today and harvested the final batch, including green ones we hope will turn red.
