Its hard to believe that Stephanie is Five Today. Just a few pictures I have here at work of the last five years.

I bought some apples well I really wasn't sure how many apples I was going to get when I placed my order. I got a lot of apples so this past weekend I did a lot of baking with apples.

Kents Field Trip

We went to Kent's farm a local farm that grows and sells pumpkins and Christmas Tree's yesterday. Oh did I say its now snowing here already. Nothing that is sticking but there is snow on a few vehicles in the parking lot that came from some of the higher altitudes. Staph's teacher is such a sweet heart I'm so pleased. Here is a picture of Steph on the wagon out to the pumpkin patch and then one in the pumpkin hut with her friend Matty they also went to pre-school together last year.

Playing in the leaves

This past weekend was really nice cold in the morning but nice in the afternoon so you could be outside. We had fun in the leaves this weekend.

Book Review

With four little ones and working all week its hard to find time to read so I average around 5 or 6 books a year. There are very few books that I can say I couldn't put it down this is one I could not put down. I would highly recommend reading Philippa Gregorys The other Boleyn girl. I'm going to the library today to pick up another book by Phillippa the Boleyn inheritance. I may have found a favorite new author.

My Pumpkins

Its that time when every one gets pumpkins well were no different. My parents had gotten the kids all a pumpkin and some how we ended up and had two grow from a seed from last year in our garden. Two of the pumpkins my parents got turned bad really fast so I remembered some thing I seen in a magazine last fall. We took drafting dots small round stickers and placed them all over the pumpkin at first there was a pattern then we just put them any were. After that we took it and painted it black with spray paint. We let the paint dry and then pealed off all the stickers. We now have a polka dotted pumpkin.

A Box from Great Grandma

We love getting boxes from Great Grandma. Jim and I were just talking about getting the kids new pj's they had grown out of there warmer ones from last year. But on Tuesday we received a box from Great Grandma.
