Scatter Sunshine All Along Your Way

Scatter sunshine all along your way;

Cheer and bless and brighten

Every passing day.

Kjell was having fun playing with his new umbrella until it started to rain. I really doubt he going to use it for what it was designed for. It now just down pouring and he wants to come inside. The rain is coming and going. It is nice to have a few breaks of sunshine come throughout the day. It made me think of the church hymn; Scatter Sunshine.

We didn't get much out of the garden this year, but we did get 9 pumpkins...that is our biggest crop yet. We were going to use them for Halloween but it didn't get warm enough to turn them orange but they are excellent fall decorations. Normally we get about 3-4, just enough to carve. We did get a lot of Strawberries this year...if you want some starts; come get some.

I can't believe it...Thanksgiving is next week and 4 weeks until Christmas. Where did this year go??

What does a Ninja and a Pirate have in common?

They are brothers.

This Halloween, Erik wanted to be a Knight but he saw the Ninja costume and the accessories that went with it so he suddenly change his mind. He said it is a "Ninja Knight". He liked the katana, the sai and the throwing star so whatever he wants to say to justify it, is fine with me.

When I took Lily and Kjell to the Pumpkin Patch; I needed to buy boots for Kjell. Well, I end up finding a cute rain jacket that went with the boots. So to make a long story short... I spent way too much money that I decided that he was going to be a pirate for Halloween. Which he was fine with until he saw the Buzz Lightyear costume... maybe next year. He still loves pirates., though, he still carries the pirate boat that he got from vacation everywhere he goes.

Erik and Kjell had fun at the Ward's Trunk or Treat on Saturday. Kjell ended up not coming out on Sunday with Erik and me. The neighborhood churches on Main Street had a Trunk or Treat so it was fun just going around the neighborhood. The houses on Main street near the churches ran out of candy because there was so many kids this year. I tried to push them to stop by our house a couple of blocks away but no luck...we only had 3 trick-treaters. We even had full size candy bars. Karl is happy though, he think because he didn't get to go this year that he should get the leftovers...yeah, that what he think.
