I love this time of year so much! The cooler weather, the leaves crunching under my feet, the colors of the trees, and just the smell in the air. The pumpkins are looking really great this year, and I can't wait to make some toasted pumpkin seeds. We do love those in this house!
1. Our landlord FINALLY put up most of our fence yesterday! It has been down for over a year! He even fenced in some of the yard with a tall wood fence where there was just wire!!!!!
2. Ethan won first place in his grade for the pumpkin that he decorated. I will post a picture later!
3. Kellen finds out next week if he gets to participate in the day long art project. He is asking that we all keep our fingers crossed for him.
4. Tomorrow is the 4-H Halloween party! We are very excited! Should be a great time. Pictures to follow!
Have a great week!

Tiny Triumphs 37!
It has been another great week here! We have been busy but yet having a blast!
1. I now have Tennis Elbow. I play so much tennis that I could see how I got it. Most likely I got it from cleaning. That should teach me not to do that.
2. Ethan is now 9! He made it! He told me already that next year he will be in the double digits! I told him not to hurry to grow up or I would put a brick on his head to stop him from growing up!
3. Kellen is playing the French Horn again this year. Band has just started for the year and soon all city band will start again.
4. I love the fact that the boys do chores everyday! I still have to do some things but other things are done for me! I love the boys for helping their mom out!

Stomp Your Feet!
These are the monster feet that I made for Ethan to take to school for his birthday. They are Nutter Butters dipped in green chocolate with cashew toes. I think they really turned out great!
Watch Out! That Lava Is HOT!
Tonight is Jared's last Natural Disasters class. So I made him some cupcakes to take with him. I just have to tell you that it was hard to find a natural disaster that I could make out of cake or cupcakes. They are chocolate cupcakes with cherry filling. Graham cracker sand and chocolate volcanoes with cherry lava. I think they are awesome!

Party Like It's Your Birthday!
On Sunday we had Ethan's 9th birthday party! We had a costume party with lots of spooky food. On the menu was mummy dogs, cheese fingers, carrot eyes, pumpkin rolls, and of course blood to drink. We also had some fun games and craft things to do. I think I had as much fun as the kids did!
Where's Jared, oh, I mean Waldo?
And his wife Wenda!
Ethan the Evil Gnome. I thought that I got a picture of Kellen but I guess I was mistaken. I will get one of him in his costume at the 4-H party.
The kids painted and glued some cool stuff on pumpkins
LUNCH!!!
Kellen's Pumpkin

We also bobbed for apples. Here is Kellen getting the water out of his eyes after he had bobbed. By the way, is bobbed a verb? Can I use it on it's own in a sentence?
Ethan under water
Ethan caught an apple
Becca and her apple
Logan the vampire got one too!
We hid some toys and candy in a straw bale and let the kids loose to find it all. They loved this and went back to it many times to see if they missed anything. I still have to go back through it to see if they missed anything.
The kids in the straw
The monster cake that I made. I even made the fondant that made the mouth and the eyes. He was filled with green vanilla pudding! YUMMY!
I think this was a Birthday that Ethan will never forget!

How Did I Get Up Here?
I had not had a chance to put the ladder away after I cleaned the bathroom (don't ask, you don't want to know). So the ladder was sitting out and Lily chased K.C. to the top. When he was on the top he looked at me and cried. He wanted help. But then he climbed back down on his own. Since then he has been going up and down the ladder a lot.
I am not sure how this happened?
Stop taking pictures and help me!
