FREE Pumpkin Patch

This morning we were driving to Boise for Delaney's Allergy Walk when we saw a sign for FREE pumpkins. So we stopped and the kids picked out pumpkins to bring home. AWESOME! :)

Grandma Reva's Halloween Party

We had a big family get together at Grandma Reva's Halloween party where the kids had tons of treats and played "minute to win it" games. Slide the cookie down your face without touching or dropping it. Get all the balls out of the bucket on your back without bending over. Wrap up with toilet paper without breaking it and more. It was a very fun filled day.

Apple Cider Press

We went to Grandma and Grandpa Wassard's to make apple cider last weekend. The photo above is my brother Cody since he is in Arizona and couldn't make it. We had fun pressing the apples and the kids helped for ten minutes or so then went back to playing. We made 20 gallons this year the most we have ever done. Then we celebrated Grandpa's birthday with pizza and cake. It was a fun day.

October

October started off with the kids having a week off from school. I ended up being sick with a nasty cold so we had to cancel our trip to Salem to see my grandfather. Then kids found lots of things to do instead. They were little inventors out in the backyard with cardboard and tape. We got a new batch of baby bunnies and Owen lost another tooth. Once I was feeling better we worked on painting our Halloween decorations. (Photos to come on Halloween) I went to a couponing class with my mom and sister which ended up with a subscription to get five Sunday newspapers so I can collect coupons. Now I'm trying to figure out where the good deals are. I also started my third cake decorating class and for practice make Grandpa Jack a birthday cake.

September Wilton Cake Classes

Well, it's been a crazy last week of September here.  I've been sick but did manage to finish my last two classes for the Wilton Basic Cake Decorating class and the Wilton Gum Paste & Fondant class. 

My final cake for the gum paste and fondant class.
