Carved Pumpkins

Here are the finished pumpkins. I hope you enjoy!!!!!
Megan sitting by her pumpkin. The light flashes and I took this at the wrong time.

Alex next to his. He has a strange color light in his but it doesn't flash so it was much easier to take.

Here they both are. They loaded up the pumpkins into the trailer tonight so they can put them outside at camp this weekend. I hope everyone enjoys them. I told them they should go trick or treating at camp also but they just laughed at me. I guess it's a good thing I sent a bag of candy with them. :)

Pumpkin Patch

We made a trip down to the pumpkin patch on Saturday so that the kids could get some pumpkins to carve. They were excited to get home and work on them.
It took us forever to park because it was so busy but we finally made it.

Alex was in charge of the wheel barrel. It started to get a bit heavy by the time we were done.

Megan can't decide which one she likes. There are way to many choices.

Now, they are both just being silly. :)

This is everything we ended up with. A wide variety of sizes.

We had a fun time getting pumpkins and they look really good carved. That will be posted soon!!!!!

Shed

We haven't been up to much around here lately so I decided I should post our new shed. Mike and Megan have been working very hard on it and it looks really good. The best part is that I can actually get my car in the garage now!!!!!
This is it before the roof and the paint.

Alex and his friend, Luke, decided they needed to build a fort with the extra shed material. They worked on it all afternoon. I think they were just having fun using the power tools to put it together.

They are finding some more scraps to attach to the fort.

There is the final project. It's all done already. They were quick once they got going but Mike didn't enjoy the roof. He doesn't think he would make a good professional roofer.

Fair Fun

We got to do all sorts of fun things at the fair this year and we got to see some pretty good shows.
Mike, Megan, and Alex are waiting for the Monster Truck show.

It was the first year the Monster Trucks were at the fair.

The Jason Aldean Show was really good. He is so easy on the eyes. :)

Mike and Megan went to the Julianne Hough and Rodney Adkins show. Megan was next in line to get Rodney's autograph when they made him stop. She was not happy at all!!!!!!

Megan and Mike waiting for the show to start.

I also got to go to the LeAnne Rimes show. I didn't have my camera with me though so just imagine me sitting there watching it. It was a good show also.

We had another great year doing the Puyallup. It is a lot of fun to work down there and see so many funny people.

Getting ready for the fair

I worked at the fair again this year with my Dad. The week before the fair starts is always a lot of fun. You start out the week with no one there and by Thursday you can't even drive through.
Tuesday morning, Easy driving. It's still empty.

All of the stands are set up but no one is working.

It's Wednesday and the cars are starting to arrive.

It is now Thursday. The fair starts tomorrow and it's a mad rush to get ready. If only some of these people had been smart enough to come early in the week they would have missed this last minute rush. The good news is that we got done with all of our work and were ready to open on Friday. :)
