Halloween Spirit

We got in the Halloween spirit yesterday!!

First we painted pumpkins...

Even Will had a turn with the paint.  His turn didn't last long - as you can see by the blue paint on his lips, he tried to eat the paintbrush!

Then we carved a pumpkin -

Julianne getting the yucky stuff out! 

Will's turn to scrape out the yucky stuff! 

The finished product!

Then it was time for supper - we had...  

Mummy Dogs!

 Julianne and Mom with the Mummy Dog

Will and his 'Dog 

 Our Happy Jack-o-latern - I have to say, I'm very impressed with myself - it turned out better than I thought!

The Masterpieces!

Happy Harvesting!

It's that time of year again!!!  

First combine ride of the season!  

Notice the sunshine and the bright blue skies - this was taken a few weeks ago...

Julianne's "wish" at supper the other night was "I wish Daddy can get all of his corn out of the field before it snows."  I didn't even prompt her, I swear!  I guess she just picks up on EvErYtHiNg!!!

Harvest update for those of you wondering:  Nick and Steve have all of their soybeans out.  They have started on corn, but just a day or two so probably only have 200 acres combined.  They have also started on beets, but it's been a slow road.  They haven't been in the beet field for a week and a half because of the rain.  They had a couple good days, but had to shut down because it was too hot - go figure!  Hopefully it dries up soon they can hit the beets hard this week and get the rest of the corn out.  Looks like harvest is going to drag out for a while yet.  Always a stressful time of year......
