This year for Halloween we have a ninja, a dog, Darth Vader, and an ostrich rider. (Though the ostrich rider may or may not be using her costume this year due to it feeling “too big.” We’ll see what she decides to do come time to go trick-or-treating.)
For good measure, I tried on Shecklet #4’s costume. 😂 If she doesn’t use it, I might just have to wear it to hand out candy.
Friends of ours invited us for dinner and pumpkin carving on Saturday night. The kids all had a blast and ended up with some creative finished products. Can you guess who carved each pumpkin?
Back before kids, the cousins on my maternal side of the family had a string of weddings. I think we had four or five consecutive years where there was a wedding. (And there are only seven of us.) At the wedding of my cousin Troy, my aunt Alice loaned me a necklace that was my Great Aunt Frances’s. The next day I returned it to my aunt and mentioned how much I loved the piece.
She later gave it to me to keep and I now wear it often.
I’m not much for selfies (unless I am capturing one with my kids) but I sent this to my aunt today to let her know I think of her and Frances every time I wear it 💗
Nothing says fall like a bushel of apples from the orchard. Special thanks to my mother-in-law for bringing them to us!
I spent the morning slicing and dicing enough apples to fill my two largest pots to make applesauce. The house smells fantastic!
Any wagers on how long it will take before my efforts are completely consumed? I give it a few days.
Happy birthday to Shecklet #3! She wanted pizza (mac-n-cheese-topped) and cheesecake for her birthday dinner tonight. Afterwards, she opened presents and we captured some silly pictures of just the girls.
Love this girl so much 💕 She is growing up to be a remarkable young lady.
