Carving pumpkins

We let the kids carve their own pumpkins all by their selves this year. It was fun seeing their creativity.







Rose what not quite sure what to do. And was even more unsure if she liked the feeling of the pumpkin slime. This is my favorite picture. William was so grossed out he gagged a couple times. I had to switch pumpkins (to clean out) with him since his was so slimy. I laugh every time I see this picture.





Me in my 8 month glory. Isabelle loved cleaning out and carving pumpkins. She was the biggest helper.

My finished pumpkin. Jeremiah always has the best looking pumpkins. This year I think I have him beat. Especially since he hasn't even carved his out yet.

Onions Galore

What do you do with old panty hose and 25lbs of onions?

You make Onion Hose.

 These beauties will be hanging down in our storage room through the winter. I found this clever idea on Pinterest. And when I need an onion I just cut below the knot. They are suppose to stay good all winter long. 

Watch out..... here comes the FLU....

The flu has hit our house and hit it hard. Micheal started throwing up Wednesday night with Joseph following with in the hour. I started in the wee hours of Thursday morning. Rose joined in Thursday night.
Micheal had a quick recovery and was back to school today. The rest of us have been slowly recovering... (poor Joseph is having the hardest time, I blame it on all the meds he is on for his eyes).
Lucky for me Jeremaih had a day off and was able to switch around shift so he could take care of us all. He is truely my Superman. I told him he was getting a little taste of what it will be like when the baby comes. Hopefully he won't be cleaning so much puke then. =)
