"Trunk or Treat!"

 Our church had their "Trunk of Treat" tonight so quite a group left from next door to go have a lot of fun gathering up treats...one lion, one Native American princess, one cat, two Supermen (Joseph also dressed up like Superman, but he didn't run over to our house to show us his costume...next year!), one four-armed character (from Star Wars probably!), and Half-Pint (Laura) from Little House on the Prairie.  They also stopped by and shared some candy with us after they got back.  Sounded like fun was had by all.  Melany and Erin showed up just before the crew left to go Trunk or Treating.  Erin is downstairs watching "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!" with Goosey (Woody).  Melany has gone to a reception for her high school volleyball coach.  He is retiring from coaching volleyball.  I hope that he remembers these players...they definitely have memories of him! He was also happens to be the science teacher who inspired Melany to become a science teacher (she includes the word "crazy" in front of science).  Though she is now an art teacher, she did start out her teaching career as a science teacher and this year she is teaching science to third graders at her school along with teaching art K-5.

Woody went on a four mile walk in the late morning.  But before he did that he helped me out by vacuuming the family room.  I had designated several cleaning jobs to be done today and he helped a lot by doing the vacuuming.  After lunch we went to early vote.  When we got back Woody went next door to take care of several of the children while Kathy ran an errand.  Nathan and Graham and Elijah were out in the woods somewhere setting up a hunting tree stand.  Nathan and Kathy and family have been doing school programs this week...to date this week they have done eight programs!  Today they went to Melany's school and did a program. They have programs for schools that deal with anti-drugs, anti-bullying, etc.


Last night after I blogged, I actually got back to work on Isaac's quilt.  One row is now pieced...three more to go and then get those rows stitched together and it will be time to decide how big I want the final quilt to be and then decide on what kinds of borders I want around this center part.  Then it will be time to go off to the quilt store and buy some more fabric.  At the rate I am going, I am just hoping to have the top pieced together for his Christmas present and will do the quilting after.
