Harvest Carnival

Tonight was Harvest Carnival night at Awana. That means the kids got to dress up and play games and bring home lots of candy! Here they are:

Happy Birthday to Joey

Sunday we celebrated Joey's 11th birthday. So, the grandparents came up, and Joey picked the same old birthday meal almost everyone seems to pick around here---lasagne, garlic bread, and salad. After that, it was time to sing happy birthday to the birthday boy. Make a wish!

Then, while the Buster Bar Ice Cream Cake softened up a bit, it was time to open the presents. One of the benefits of many siblings, is, in addition to the usual presents from parents and grandparents and aunts and uncles, you also have many siblings to buy you presents!!

After the ice cream cake, we all sat around digesting and visiting and Joey played with all his new stuff--with the ever-present help of Jackson, of course.

"I had an awesome birthday!!!," said the birthday boy. Yeah, life is good in the Houseful of Blessings.

Today's fun

We just love to have Saturday adventures....which partly explains why we never get everything done around here that we should......but, oh well.

Today our travels took us to the Amador Flower Farm, in Plymouth, which turned out to be a really neat place. There was a corn maze,and a little hay maze,lots and lots of pumpkins,farm animals,and the "tram", which was Jackson's favorite part. There was also free ice cream and free cookies for the kids.
The kids said "today was a good day", and the only money we spent for the whole thing was a buck, for these cute little beauties. :-)

Yep, we know how to have fun in the houseful of blessings. :-) Tomorrow we get to have more fun, cause we are celebrating Joey's birthday. Yea!
