Reformation Day Party 5




Grandma was the only adult willing to get in on the bobbing for apples. Her only comment "It is harder than it looks."



Abby was the only casualty of the night. Somehow she was burned with a popcorn ball in the neck.



Thanks, John! You did a great job and we all had a blast!

Funnel cakes


Grandpa feeding Isabella some apple betty



Bobbing for apples

I list bobbing for apples in the same category as floaties - GROSS. As a Mom, I have seen as well as cleaned up a lot of disgusting things, but I draw the line at floaties and bobbing for apples.

Reformation Day Party

This is the first year since having children that we decided not to Trick or Treat. John decided that we would have a fun party at our house for the children. He planned everything. It was a fun-filled night and our street is so quiet, we did not have any Trick or Treaters.






Izzy is "batty for daddy" as her shirt states.







First game of the evening, John had each child draw either the mouth, nose, one of the eyes, etc. He then put their drawings on to the family pumpkin.







Not too bad for having 5 different children create it.







Of course, we had presents from Grandma Great!!

Closet part 2

If you haven't nocticed I love this closet. It is the place I store my vaccuum, basket of snuggies, and all the nerf guns and ammo. There are ALL our games and some art supplies, plus this and that I can't find a place for in the house. Hopefully, I will get a door on it soon.




This is where all the games were stored before the closet was built. I should have taken a before shot so you could understand how junky this spot looked. Of course, it is gorgeous with John's Christmas decoration touch. Is there anything my man can't do?

My New Closet

One of the most wonderful things about having a carpenter for a husband is all the projects he completes in the houses we live in and rehab. We are currently living in a house that is 1/3 the size of our last one. We need every inch of storage we can get. Here is the closet John added just recently.








I only get four pictures per post so check out the next one too.
