Cleaning Caddy

 I recently put together a cleaning caddy and it has been a big hit. John and Margaret have been inspired to brush, wipe, spray, and dust with the best of them.

This is my 1000 post! 

 

Halloween

 Clara was a darling cat.
John was a ninja.
Margaret was a spider.

We had a great time carving pumpkins, making ghost meringues, trunk or treating, and trick or treating. Kelly and I ended the day by watching Clue.

Circle of Leaves

 Clara, John and Margaret love to play "Mom and Dad." It is a twice a day sort of game. Once in the morning and again after school. This time they built there house out of leafs. In the second photo, John had tripped and fallen so Clara scooped him up and set him down in the house and made a pillow of leaves to comfort him.

The Humble Potato

Because I walked across one, I have a new appreciation for how big the potato fields are.
Also, I am amazed with how many potatoes are left after the harvest.

Gleaning Potatoes

When the call comes, we come running for potatoes. Eileen is an amazing "tato" finder as Margaret would call them. Margaret was the lucky one and got to sit on Grandpa's lap. Uncle Darrel and Emily came out for a bit too. Some neighbor dogs joined us at the end.
John was amazing. He followed Eileen and me out to the center of a pivot and then ran all the way back. It was a long, long way. We were tired and very dusty by the time we got home. But, happy to have a fun afternoon and 200 pounds of potatoes!
