Happy Halloween 09

Happy Halloween! It is one of our favorite holidays and this year did not disappoint. Logan and Kendall both had soccer games to start the day off. We then hurried home to carve our pumpkins and then continued our tradition of pita bread personal pizza's. That started when we I found out about Logan's food allergies, but we all love making our own pizza's and Papa Murphy's is crazy busy on Halloween anyways. Grandma Spencer arrived and the costumes were put on! The kids hit the 2 houses in our neighborhood then we headed to a bigger neighborhood on south hill. It was great! All the house were decorated so good. Grandma Spencer couldn't even speak when a creature jumped out between two vans and grabbed her arm! One of the house was blasting Michael Jackson's "Thriller" and had a haunted house, but the line was really long so we decided to pass and the guy welcoming people was dressed with nails coming out all over his face- little worried the kids would be traumatized. Avery was amazed and just keep looking at everyone and taking it all in. Logan and Kendall were pros this year running from house to house. Kendall was Hannah Montana and by the end of the night had, had enough of the wig. Logan was the transformer Bumblebee and Avery was a witch. Another great year! Happy Halloween!

All about the pumpkins 2009

So Friday the kids did not have school as it was parent/teacher conferences and since I don't work Fridays we had a day together. It was a great day to stay inside as the wind was whipping outside. We made chocolate chip pumpkin muffins and decorated our pumpkins we grew in our garden with Mr. Potatoe Head pieces. Avery did the princess, Logan made the firefighter and Kendall put together the witch. Kept them busy while the muffins were cooking anyways. Then they ate the muffins and watched all the Halloween shows I recorded earlier in the week. A great day and tomorrow will be even better since it will be Halloween!

Pumpkin Patch 09

So it has been awhile since we actually went to the pumpkin patch so I thought I better post before Halloween had came and went! Things around the Fisher household have been revolving around the sickies this last week. Logan became sick last Friday, then Avery and I on Saturday. Surprisingly Austin and Kendall are still doing well. The good news is the rest of us are almost back to normal-Yeah!
At any rate we took our annual trip to Scholz Farm the Friday before last when the kids were out of school for a teacher inservice day, yes an inservice I opted out of. Austin meet up with us and we squeezed in some quality family time before the rain came. It was great to spend sometime together too before Austin headed off for hunting. He was gone last weekend to set up and will be off again after Halloween for a week. Hope everyone is enjoying the fall season despite all the sickies going around!

I Love Chaos

Well October is off and running and I do mean running.....Life is going at warp speed. So much has happened in such a short amount of time. The kids are both playing soccer and most of the games are at the same time so we are dividing and conquering. Kendall is getting better with every game and seems to really like soccer. Logan is still thinking he can use "the force" to control the ball- it's really quit comical to watch him try to control the ball with his hand.
Logan's school had their annual autumn fest and Kendall loved seeing her old friends again and Logan was so proud to show off all he has been working on at school and his new friends.
Football season is in full swing so that means party at the Clarks! Great fun, good food, great friends, crappy game, but the quad races made up for the game!
October is allergy month in our house as Logan and now Avery too, get testing, new epi-pens and the drama of flu shots.
I am also already of the quest for planning summer since camping has to be book 9 months out-Crazy!
Now with the weather chaning and Austin getting ready to leave for hunting season we had to deal with the yard. The trees don't quit look the same- hope they live! Again I really do love the chaos :0)

The Fair!

So we did make it to the fair this year, just didn't happen until the very last day! We had a great time none the less. We started off with Krusty Pups and then we toured the barns, hobby halls, and vendors. Then it was time for ice-cream and rides. We strategically planned to wait and do rides until Avery was sleeping and thankfully it worked! The lines were awful as it was really busy. The kids did great though. Once Avery woke up we went to the petting barn and the kids garden area. Everyone was tired by this point and it was time to head home. Until next September!
