Trunk or Treat

Trick or Treat! This was my favorite pumpkin that we saw last night.
The kids dressed as Indians to attend trunk or treat at my neighbors church last night.

A close up of their outfits and headbands that they made.

Receiving candy from an angel and a banana

Sitting on the sidewalk b/c their bags were too heavy from all of the candy they received

Enjoying a hot dog and chili dinner with lots of yummy desserts.

M on the inflatable slide. She went so fast I almost missed her.

Z about to zoom down the slide

Latest Projects

A friend from church invited us to come over and pick pears. While there, she gave me a copy of her Pear Honey recipe. When we got home, we couldn't wait to make it. It was our first time to can something. The kids were eager to help and we made 12 jars plus 2 containers for our fridge. It is DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!!!! It is great on biscuits, toast, and pancakes!


I also made a matching skirt to go with M's cross shirt. She was SOOO proud!
