Annual Trick or Treat

Our weekend started on Saturday morning with a soccer game - with gale-force winds and chilly temps! But, this crew was excited to be together.

Connor played a great game!! These crazies created a blanket-fort.

Then we got to go to Aunt Michelle's house to warm up and eat brunch. Chloe and Linlee had a good time together :)

Then, we headed to the pumpkin patch!

This was a new thing at the pumpkin patch: inflatable horses. Bill challenged Kevin (who couldn't turn him down) and the video I took is HILARIOUS. Ask me to see it, and I'll gladly show you. My dear husband asked me not to post it on the world wide web. ;)

Chloe was the perfect size for the smaller horse - check out her look of determination!

I think father & son look a lot alike in this picture!

After a quick break and dinner, we got ready for trick-or-treat!

Chloe ~ Belle

April ~ Princess Frostine, from CandyLand

Peter ~ a reluctant Thomas the Train

Linlee ~ smart baby who skipped the cold :)

What was the best part of the weekend? Seeing this little chickee being baptized, welcoming her into the covenant family! We had a fun family lunch afterwards :)

Home Decorating

Every so often, I get the urge to re-decorate our entire house. Since that's not really a possibility, I usually just end up changing some pictures or decorations. I was inspired by this post (the blog was found on the side-bar of my cousin's blog ), I thought I'd make a 3-D wall hanging of my own: I might keep it, I might give it as a gift....not sure yet - but I like it! Our downstairs bathroom was in need of a little "perk-up" so I made two coordinating frames to lighten things up: Now this isn't really home decorating....but I'm still including it :) Chloe recently acquired some fancy 4th of July hair clips from Aunt Michelle/Grandma B. She needed the perfect dress to match those clips, so I found some fabric and made one! Check back at the beginning of July for pictures of Chloe wearing this dress! :) My need for creating might have been calmed by these projects...or maybe it's only encouraging me to do more!

Baby Pool

Want to guess when Baby #2 is going to arrive? Post a comment, or send me an email, with your guess and I'll add you in! As a review, here are the rules to the game (taken from Heather Deterding!): 1. Post your guess for the baby's arrival in the "comment" section. Be sure to specify both date and time of day -- either "am" or "pm". 2. Limit one guess per person, and only one entry per time slot-- no sharing! 3. Winner is determined based on time of birth. For example, if the baby is born on April 20th at 7 AM, a guess of "April 20th, AM" would be the winner. In the event that there is no entry for the correct arrival time, the next closest guess based on actual time of birth would win. 4. We will post entries on the Calendar above. Check prior entries before placing your guess! Dates not displayed on the calendar above are still up for grabs. 5. The winner will receive... bragging rights and a congratulatory post h...
