Around the House

So the stories of this month...Mrs. Lisa visited the Chelsea church and reunited with the original book club kids...My sweet Aunt Yvonne passed away...Ruby decorated a pumpkin for school with a book report on "The Giving Tree".  When Magan handed her the plastic pumpkin to paint green, she asked not once, but twice, "Mom, how did they get all the stuff out of this pumpkin, and get it back together again"...Ruby falls asleep at school...I love catching scenes of Sam playing with his little sister.  They are buddies and do chat often.  She told me the other day with a sad voice that she doesn't get to see Sam very much anymore (He had alot of activities after school)...School dress up days...Sam and Davis go to the fair and enjoy the weekend in Cullman during the AHG campout...My first time teaching the K-3 class for a quarter (cute kids!  Scared faces were from King Ahaziah's hand shrinking when he was not nice to the prophet)...October is always the busiest month of the year at our house, but doesn't bring any less smiles, or at least we don't let them be captured by the camera.  

Halloween

We did attend the Mt. Laurel Trunk or Treat and had a booth as the AHG girls.  They did a great job with a Circus Theme that was developed by a couple of the PIPAs.  Magan loves it, because these girls just jumped in and planned and coordinated it by themselves.  The girls also had a cotton candy making morning at Mrs. Lisas in preparation for these events.  

And yes, on Halloween night we did go do the normal traditional trick or treating.  We all met up at the Rawls house for some hot dogs before hoping on the Roger's trailer to travel around the neighborhood.  A fun night with our church friends again.  Back in our neighborhood, we visited the Francis' and got a chance to talk to some of our neighbors for awhile.  And I learned that sometimes when I tell my stories, I get some different responses, and let's just saw the Francis cul-de-sac neighbors may have been raised by some up-North Navy folks.  haha...I looked over at Belle's face of surprise, and decided it was time to head home.
