Tuesday Morning Snow

You know you live in northern IN when you wake up to snow in October!
The little kids wanted to make a snowman so we did.

Fall Events

October is one of my favorite months. We took all the church kids on a hayride on Wed. night. Cleaned out the garden we still have green peppers growing! Took the kids to the pumpkin patch and corn maze. See pumpkins above Mitch said if they could carry it they could buy it. Can you tell who's whos?? Had Fun night at Olive Elementary the kids had a good time playing games, singing karkoke and dancing with strobe lights.
Made two big pots of chili took one to Kris and Sara on moving day and had small group at our house with the other. Took a walk in the woods out at the high school. I had never been down suicide hill now I know why they call it that. Raking walnuts out the yard. I got Drew and Victoria to help me! This weekend Mitch and I are helping Karla shoot family pictures and we are leaving the kids at home! Next week we plan to go to the local nursing home where grandpa used to live and trick-or-treat. The residents love it and then on Friday we are going to a friends's subdivision to trick or treat. Abi decided this year she is too big to dress-up, the middle girls are going to be princess and Drew is going to be Bob the Builder.

Abi - Volleyball

Abi is playing volleyball this year. They have a total of 4 games. Went to one last night, her team won their match. She even hit over the winning point!!

Clara's 9th Birthday

Clara had her family party we served sloppy joes ice cream cake and pumpkin whoppie pies. She got legos, cd player, clothes, Camp Rock.

The next Friday night she had a slumber party with 4 girls spending the night. Not sure how much sleep they really got!!

Clara now has her own room and boy does she love it. She disappears for hours at a time playing legos and polly pockets.
