Have you missed me?

O.K.  Sorry I've been such a slacker.  It seems that after James and Tara announced their engagement, things have been skidding out of control.  I feel that I have finally reigned them in a little (play-dough really helps)and can spend a little more time catching everyone up on our exciting lives.  Now, where were we when I dropped off the face of the earth......
What a great time we had at Faulkner's pumpkin patch. Not only did we see some live animals, but we got to "milk" a cow, ride "horse" swings and ride a real pony. it was such a beautiful day and all 3 of us were glad to be out enjoying it. We pick out some kids size and Mom size pumpkins.

 



Halloween was great this year.  We trick or treated at Grandma Bev's and Grandpa Gene's the Thurs before.  (Grandpa was going hunting on the big day)  Cookie monster and the pirate were using their skills to get as much candy as possible.  Good things G and G are used to their tricks. On All Hallows Eve, we went to see Grandma Toots and Grandpa Don at Gammy's house.  Once again we raided them for all the goodies we could get...amazing how G and G seem to know the kids tricks here also.  We went trick or treating around the neighborhood, while Carli enjoyed it,  she wasn't into it as much as Gus.  That kid was a nut!!  He RAN from house to house and was very angry if you tried to carry him. Although he wasn't greedy, he wouldn't let anyone give him more than one piece of candy.  Pretty funny stuff, especially watching him run in that top heavy costume. You can see in the picture that he couldn't be bothered to slow down for a picture. I can just imagine what my photo ops will be in the future. All of his pictures will just be a blur.
