Halloween Fun

 Dixie was resting up today for tonight's tick or treaters.  :)

 The girls helped me make our Halloween dinner - pumpkin bread, mummy hot dogs, candy corn pizza, mandarin orange pumpkin and Fanta. :)


 and then we were off... notice anyone missing?  :(  First year trick or treating without Emily... she had art class and a lot of homework so she opted not to join us when she got home...

 So it was just the 3 of us...

 But the girls had a blast...


 and came home with quite a load! 
 Rose showed me a picture of her and her friend from school. 
 and Rose was drawing some of the costumes she saw while trick or treating...
 But looky here - next Thursday - snowflakes on the forecast.... yay!!!

The fall colors are really brilliant - almost time for us to take a drive and take it all in!
 Nora finished a class project - a timeline island...

 Then Rose being silly at bedtime...




 Emily working on a project for English...
 and me - finishing up teacher gifts for Halloween tomorrow...

(more owls this morning too... then a hawk took the tree over too!)



Camp Freeze

 Camping with my Juniors.. a cold camping that's for sure!! 





 We were so thankful to be inside.. but with no heat working - it was a cold  night!!




















































 Lots of fun though - but this morning when we left - temps in the 20s and wind chill in the teens... brrr!!!

Across the Pond

 Nora spent 3 weeks in England on a study abroad program - Medieval England... she had the best time.  I'll gather up more of her pictur...
