Trick or Treat

What a fun evening it has been. Our friends, the England family, came over for supper and the traditional trick or treating around the neighborhood. We have plenty of candy now :-) Good times, good memories. It was chilly again this year so the hot chocolate and coffee warmed our insides nicely once we got back home.

On my way to pick up the kids...

I don't think the colors translate very well but this tree is a deep red/orange. It hangs over the road as shade in the summer but I always watch for it to change colors in the Fall. It is one of my favorites and I get to see it every morning taking the kids to school, going to the library, church or grocery store. It is on the way to just about every where for me :-)

You might prefer more of an orange colored tree.

This yellow colored one is a beauty too.

Ashley walking back into the school after having recess. They will go in and get their backpacks then come back out to the car line to go home.

Here she is. I think it was a good day.

Cameron got in next. He is just happy to be free.

Aah! A rare but cherished moment.

Now that Sarah Brooke has arrived we can head home.

Home is where our heart enjoys being. I hope you get to enjoy being home today as well.

More pics for the Odyssey fans out there

Cameron mowed the lawn next door, pulled weeds out of a flower bed and planted mums for the neighbor lady. I had a coupon so off we headed to the Christian bookstore with Cameron's newly earned money

The book is full of behind the scenes stuff and tons of pics. He has really enjoyed it. I love that it inspired some more drawings for me :-)

This is Eugene and Katrina

Jack Allen

Jason Whittaker (he thought this one turned out to look the most like the orginal pic)

This is Cutie (his dog character that he draws) trying to build muscle. I love it! He thought it was funny that after all that effort Cutie only has a little bump.

Just in case you weren't aware...you can click on the pic to enlarge for details

(now you know why I don't like posting pics of myself. I don't want them enlarged. ha)

Menagerie

The other night we were coming home and the end of the rainbow was over our house. I'm just sure of it. We hurried home to find out that in reality it was over the neighbors house. By the time we got home and I scurried in to get the camara this was all I could capture but it sure was a beautiful sight. It was complete and double at times.

Sarah Brooke and the whole second grade at Weston have their very own laptops. How cool is that? They are allowed to bring them home 2 nights a week. Cameron's face pretty much sums up his feelings about his little sister having her own computer.

It was the flower parade today at the Riley Festival.

I spy Sarah Brooke, can you?

There she is!!!

I had the unexpected "blessing" of a day off and so David and I were both able to go down and watch the kids. My goodness there sure are alot of them in Hancock Co. and not all grades get to go.

I think I will go make some cinnamon rolls for this evening. Happy weekend blog friends!
