Halloween

We are in full Halloween mode at our house right now! Lacey got me started with the wreath and the BOO sign and then I got so excited when I saw the ghosts and Halloween banner at Courtney's that I had to make my own. I borrowed some hay from a neighbor and we have more pumpkins on our porch now than we did in this picture. I'm feeling pretty festive:-).

It seems like we've been running around non-stop for weeks now. Scott's grandpa passed away last week and the funeral was last Thursday. Just after that we headed to Idaho for a baptism. Sunday we got to relax a little until of course we went to church, which is not exactly relaxing. Nursery takes it all out of me, but I love it!

Today I spent most of the day canning (yes, seriously!) applesauce. I've never done or seen anything like that operation --- I did it with three friends and we did 8 boxes of apples. It was interesting and fun but I'm not sure I'm going out to buy all the equipment just yet.

The weather was cold and rainy last week but it looks like its going to be much better this week. I'm especially excited because 1.) The kids won't be stuck inside all day, 2.) We are inheriting a swing set for the backyard that should be coming over the next few days and 3.) I got my bike fixed up and I've got to get riding!

I am in the middle of a few invite/announcements/birthday invites. I'm having fun but I'm pretty sure I should take a professional Photoshop class. Maybe one day?! Speaking of, if anyone is already thinking about Christmas cards I found some darling cards here. If you have Photoshop on your computer you can purchase, download, and then add the picture and edit the text. Or, if you don't have Photoshop I could help you. It's inexpensive and easy!

Have a great week! I'm off, I have a 6 a.m. bike ride I've got to gear up for.
