Bird Feeder!

We get excited around here when we have a busy time at the bird feeder. It it in the apple tree, just outside the front window.

Here is a picture of the Blue Jays we have seen the past few days. They migrate, and are just travelling through. The same with the chickedee's.

Here is also the house sparrows that live here year round.

Just the Boys

Kenny is showing off his new hair cut. He is all dressed and ready to go the church. He even asked for the tie!

Daddy eats freshly roasted pumpkin seeds. He is also holding Adrian, all dressed up from church! What cute looking guys!

The Praire

Where the wind blows,
and the wheat grows,
is home to me,
it's the praire you see.

Two days before Halloween...

... and all through the house, every creature was stirring, (but not a mouse). The children were dressed all snug in their coats, snow pants, mittens, hats and scarves, as visions of snow forts, danced in their heads.

As for Mama and Papa...
we stayed inside where it was warm,
not wanting to venture out in the storm.
We imagined a Halloween, crispy and cold,
And wished we could ... Rhyme..

beautiful Sun set out the Girls window

Courtneys Turn at Pumpkins!

Courtney wanted a Boo Pumpkin too! She worked hard to carve out the giant pumpkin that she won at the family dance.

Auntie Mandy helped with all stages of the carving process, but Courtney did her fair share as well.

Scary looking pumpkin! Hopefully the Trick or treaters will still come!!

Mom's Pumpkin

One pumpkin was supposed to be Nicoles, but she missed her oppertunity. So Mommy decided to cut hers.
This is a hulless pumpkin. The seeds are green, almost black and have no hulls on them. much better for eating! The insides were much thicker and meating, and was even easier to seperate the seeds then the other pumpkins.

We have saved a few seeds and are hopeing to grow some in out own garden next year!

Mandys Creations!

With all the helping Auntie Mandy somehow managed to finish two of her own pumpkins.

Isn't she creative!

Sarahs Pumpkin Carving

Sarah wanted to make ghost pumpkin. She worked har d to pull all her seeds out. Her face shows what she thought about the slimy insides. But not one word of complain came out of her mouth. She was determined to do this pumpkin herself.

She used a Pampered Chef Safety knife to carve her own pumpkin. She was so excited. There was one point she didn't know what to do, and asked her aunt for help, then she went off again, to do her fist pumpkin all by herself!

Great job!

Kenny's First Pumpkin Expereince

Auntie Mandy brought over two of her pumpkins, and came to help the girls carve out thier pumpkins.

Kenny is not really sure about this new expereince. He is working with Mandy to take all the seeds out of her pumpkin. He wasn't really sure he wanted to touch all that stickly slimy stuff, but he did finally get his hands into it and helped a little.

Missed Pics

Unfortunatly, due to technical problems (memory card was accidentally cleared) we lost some pictures. It has taken some time...and a really cool piece of software to get them back!! Finally, here they are!
