They said I should write a book ...: Pumpkin Madness

About Me

Name: Gail

Learning to live with "50" has given me some different insights than being in my 40's, so this seems like a logical place to share them! I have 2 beautiful girls and a "shared son". On any given day, there are many, many kids running around my house and I love each and every one of them! I'm a firm believer that housework is unhealthy. My last several attempts at "deep cleaning" have resulted in bodily injuries and sinus infections that I am sure were caused by the improper use of caustic cleaning products.(Is there a class where you can learn this stuff????) So, in an attempt to keep grandmas updated and everybody in the loop, I'll endeavor to be more prompt in my postings. 'Not sure what I'm doing with the technology, but I'm pretty sure that I'll be able to get some help from my kids should I falter ... Enjoy!

Pumpkin Madness

I've got a few photos from Sister Barb's visit last week, but these are some of my favorite. She came over to help us carve pumpkins for "that pagan ritual at the end of October" while I fixed her a going away dinner with some Southern favorites. And of course, the craziness ensued that always happens when you give kids sharp instruments and a license to cut and gut. EWWW!

Everybody picked out their pumpkins and Sargent Barb had David and Cori doing the gutting.

She studied each one carefully before choosing her pumpkin for a creative endeavor!

And here's payback ... For what? Who knows. Who cares. David got a pumpkin mousse.

The proof of our creativity!

Got more photos - church, SORDS, fun stuff and will get to them later! Promise!
