Pumpkins


Well the kids decorated pumpkins tonight. Mom doesn't carve, Dad isn't hom and mom doesn't feel good enough fopr the mess of paint. So we did the Mr. Potato Head theory. I took a couple dozen pictures with the new open site camera, and I only got the tops of their heads . I guess maybe I should go out and practice my shot is as about as bad as Pete's this
year

WHEN IT RAINS IT POURS




Recently we decided to fix the van, it still was running but I had some trust issues with it. The night before we started to fix it Pete's car broke a fan belt on the way home from work. So during the day I found an Unexpecting neighbor and conned her into taking mee to town to get the parts. That evening me and Pete set out on the task of machanican. He went and put the fan belt on and left me to put the new coil in the van. Does that sound fair- well most females would say no, buta I actually enjoy thath type of thing. My theory is if I can see the part on the car and the new part I should be able to do it my self! Jameds went to supervise Pete and take a picture in the process they broke my camera. It is no all open site. Point and shoot and hope that you were close enough to zoom or crop.

Kids are exited about the on coming of Halloween, picking costumes (that mom bought previous years on sale) is a challenge.

I am still tryng to get soccer pics maybe this weekend. okay I failed the picture test once again.

Slightly Domestocated


Well today I am trying to remember how to make fresh yummy homemade bread.
First of all I forgot how warm the house gets.
Last night I attempted with a bread maker it made the ugliest loaf I have ever seen but Thomas gave me a 2 thumbs up and said we don't have to buy bread anymore.
Thomas was involved the first little bit of today's adventure then I looked at the clock and we raced to get ready and off to the bus.
Well we will see how the tasting comity judges tonight to know if this will be a regular occurrence.
P.S. the picture in the back is Amanda's blue ribbon picture from 3 county fairs in 2007
