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.

Cakes Galore!!

We had a triple birthday party this weekend. I made a garden theme cupcake spread for my friend Linda and a little "corn-on-the cob" cupcake plate to go with it. For her daughter Marci, I made a Tinkerbell cake. Seems like all the little girls want a doll cake these days:)

The kids had a blast at the party. There was a bouncy house, waterballon games, battery operated cars, a pool, a trampoline and the best food I've had all summer. Way to go Linda!

Poor Georgia threw up near the end of the party so we had to leave. I should have guessed something was wrong when she didn't eat any food and then refused cake and ice cream. Those take-home party buckets sure came in handy for the ride home! LOL! She's had a fever of 103 since the party. Gracie's was 102 for about 12 hours but she's all better now.

School starts in one week and we are all getting very excited! Georgia will be in kindergarten all day and Gracie will be in her 2nd year of preschool all afternoon 5 days a week. Wyatt will be napping from 12-3 as usually (I hope) and I'll be all alone for most of every afternoon! Wow, think of all the chores I'll be able to get done without any distractions! Yes, we are looking forward to a very good school year.
