Oh Sandy...

So we're all alive and fine, here.  There's some real heavy winds right now, and the kids had today and tomorrow off, but so far, we're managing really well.  Cody even has the days off (though he's working from home), so it's actually kind of nice.  We've been praying for everybody that they're safe and there's no serious flooding...

Take care, and we'll talk to you soon!

Halloween fun

While out shopping for some costume accessories the other day, we had fun with some of the hats at Party City.  These are the hats we tried on...

Church party

The boys want to attend our church Halloween festival, so we're heading out. Man, they look good!

Eyeball soup!

I had leftover spinach and potato soup the other night, so I turned it into a gruesome dinner for the kids...  eyeball soup!  The effect was pretty funny; their faces said "I know this isn't real, but it still looks gross!"  Hahaha!  I love Halloween...

Halloween party!

So last night, Cody and I went to a Halloween Social with friends for dancing. It was my first GROWN UP Halloween party, and we met before at City Tap House for drinks. We had a really great time, and Cody let me order a round of shots for everyone. So we all had a Vampire bite!  Yum... Vodka, cranberry juice and Chambord! It was a wonderful time - Cody has gotten to be such a great leader.

Vampire Bites - delicious!

Love to all...

It's October!

Last week we went to Linvilla to pick fresh apples off the tree! It was awesome, and the apples are great. I also found my Citronella plants I've been looking for. They are part of the geranium family... Who knew?

Tonight we cleaned up some apples and made caramel apples. Bethany & Hans went to the next level - their apples look awesome! At least now I'm halfway eating a healthy dessert...  ; )

Bethany's apple is the face on the right, and Hans made the more traditional apple on the left.  Love to all...
