veterans day

I've been busy at work the past few days getting ready for our annual Veterans Day events tomorrow. One of my coworkers who just returned from Afghanistan is speaking, and I got a chance to meet her in-person last week. She's my age AND a newlywed. Sometimes you think YOUR life is rough...wow. She gave me some perspective!

Be sure to thank a serviceman/woman tomorrow for all they do. Or send well-wishes to a friend/family member who is serving. I know they'll appreciate it. My brother is the first person I'll thank. Happy Veterans Day!

ghost and witch

We had about 175 trick or treaters! They all got a kick out of our costumes and decorations which made it fun.

Ben got dinner ready between kids.

happy halloween!

After days of cold, rainy weather it is finally dry and sunny today for the trick or treaters. We have a lot to do today before it gets dark. We've held off carving our pumpkins because the squirrels have declared war on us and we didn't want to put them out too soon.

I'll be dressing up as a witch again and Ben's putting together a ghost costume. Can't wait to see how many kids come by...
