Happy Turkey Day

We had a great Thanksgiving Holiday. We had Thanksgiving day with Grandma and Grandpa Fox, then on Friday we had a BBQ with Grandpa Turley, and then Sunday we had Thanksgiving with Grandma and Pa Funk. We all gained 5-10 pounds except the kids it burned off before they got up from the table. And to kick off Chirstmas each of the kids got to decorate a Gingerbread house.

Backyard Fun

It is November and it is SO nice outside. In the evening the temprature is 60`-70`. It is really hard not to be outside. They are doing road work on the road to the west of us and so we take the kids over and let them ride in the dirt and let them be free. We don't have to worry much about the traffic on that road. We get a lot of use out of the trampoline this time of year. And the kids are finally able to make baskets in the to-rusted-to-adjust hoop. The kids love to rub Ben. This day he ingeniously named it the Kid Spa.

Halloween fun

Hallow's Eve night we turned the lights down low lit some candles for effect and had a feast of Witchs Hands with a side order of hair and eyeball goolosh. Mason just started eating. Kade and Porter had a harder time with it. Even after I told them what it was. Then when dinner was over we carved pumpkins. And since the kids are older I wouldn't scrape the guts out, I made them.

My kids are getting big enough I don't worry so mugh about them getting lostin the parking lot at Trunk-or treet. Ben and I just stay by our car and pass out candy and get to visit with everyone while the boys go colecting the candy. This year was the first year we dressed up. It was a lot of fun. I was the Little Red Ridding Hood who escaped from the wolf and Ben was the Big bad wolf. I had tear marks on my cape where he tried to get me. But as we all know wemon Rule. I was a little scraped up but he didn't eat me and now he follows me around like a puppy dog. (beings he can't see through his mask.) Some little kids wouldn't come near the car. A 4 year old little girl stood back and said "Mommy, I HATE that one." We had fun. The boys did to. Kade was the Grim Reeper, Mason was Darth Vadar and Porter was Spider Man.
