thanksgiving feast

here are some pictures of my daughter at her thanksgiving feast at work. that girl can put away some food. while the other kids were just hamming it up for the camera or playing around my daughter was chowing down. maybe we should buy 2 turkeys for our family thanksgiving. :)

the 3 year olds dressed as indians and visited the 4 year olds dressed as pilgrims. too cute.

camping, sort of

this weekend my parents took their camper to a nearby state park. they stayed in it and we ended up just visiting them friday nite and saturday during the day. we wanted to camp too but audrey was alittle under the weather on thursday nite so we thought sleeping in our own beds was a better idea. it was alot of fun making smores and then cooking hot dogs on the fire, making mud pies and just enjoying being outdoors. and audrey loved my parents camper.

halloween

audrey was cinderella and i was her fairy godmother.

carving a pumpkin

audrey helped me get all the guts and seeds out (we will roast the seeds later, hopefully i will not eat them all, they are so good.) she didnt want to get her hands dirty so i, being a good mom made her get dirty. then i used a template that disney had for free a few years back and about 1 hour later after poking holes and sawing the openings i was done. i messed up on the headband part alittle and had to use toothpicks to hold it together. oh well. i still think i did a decent job.

in regards to the end

in looking at what the end of the world will be like before Jesus comes for us we should:

"keep on the alert at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that are about to take place, and to stand before the Son of Man." (Luke 21:36)

pumpkin patch or something like that

we went to the pumpkin patch last weekend and it was fun. alittle more crowded than i would have liked it. one of my facebook friends described the sort of pumpkin patch we went to quite accurately i thought "more like a pumpkin lot" you get to pick out your pumpkin like a car as they are all lined up waiting for you.

here are some cute pictures. i love those cut-out things. they make me laugh every time.

more stuff

i added some fabric to a too-short dress for audrey.
i finished her costume for halloween.
and i made her a hopscotch blanket. the girl is obsessed with hopscotch. not the actual game but jumping on or around it.
