Pumpkin Carving 2010

The kids were all super freaked out by "the pumpkin guts" as they called it. I really thought they would have enjoyed the scooping part a little more!

Homecoming Parade and Pumpkins!

Georgia promised me she felt good enough to venture out to the homecoming parade yesterday afternoon. She looked really good...though hadn't eaten anything but sherbet since Tuesday evening. Still, we agreed she could go. The parade was fun and I still can't believe how much candy people gave out. The kids collected a bucket each. Lets put it this way. If we were staying in MI for Halloween this year, we wouldn't need to by anymore candy to pass out to trick-or-treaters!

For the second year in a row, Georgia got pegged in the face with a piece of flying candy during the parade. Last year it was through the window of our car! It caused a little bleeding too! Poor thing. Wyatt couldn't believe it was "raining candy" and that he could pick up as much as he wanted! He was in a daze the entire time.

After the parade, we went into Romeo to pick out pumpkins to carve. I've always wanted one of those giant pumpkins and after enough begging, I finally talked Dave into getting me one:) So we bought a 100+ lb pumpkin and will attempt to carve it sometime today.

Georgia had a fever last night which shot up to 102 by 2 a.m. It's the first fever she's had since surgery so maybe we pushed it by taking her out yesterday. We're having a pajama day today to make up for it. She seems to be feeling better this morning and her fever is gone.

It's fall on the farm again!

Well, it's fall on the farm. We decorated for Halloween the first time ever this year. A farmer neighbor gave us 70 free pumpkins, and my girlfriend game me a bunch of cornhusks. Together they made a lovely display for our front porch. Georgia was feeling better this aftenoon so we went outside to wait for Gracie to get off the bus. Georgia had a few visitors this afternoon. Marci, Maxx and Miss Linda brought her pudding, a movie, a rose, coloring books and big balloons. She was thrilled! That was so sweet of them to think of her and it just made her day. Now we are winding down for the eveing with baths and dinner. Tomorrow is the homecoming parade and if Georgia feels up to it, we will all go down to New Haven to watch.

Georgia's surgery

Bye bye tonsils and adnoids!! Georgia was a trooper and did not shed a single tear:)

New computer and wireless internet!

This means more frequent post with lots and lots of photos! It used to take me forever to upload a photo and now with a new computer and wireless internet, it should be a breeze. I'm still in the process of getting all my old photos from the other computer and that might be quite the process! For now, here are a few new ones. Gracie and I took a trip to Blake's Apple Orchard with her class. Georgia got her tonsils and adnoids out yesterday and I got my very own 4-wheeler. That's our update from this week. I'll post more school photos when I can.
