Is It Halloween Yet

So last Friday night it was our schools Fall Festival. Of course you  can dress up and it is crazy as all get out. Just imagine everyone packed into the gym with their families doing games and chatting. It is a very loud and hot experience but one that we love. It is great to visit with all of the families and to meet the parents of all those mysterious names and people you hear about from school. So of course the girls were excited to dress up and of course I could not help to snap a couple of pictures of them. I can't tell who loves Halloween more me or the girls. For the me holidays start Oct 1st. Pumpkin ginger soup, molasses cookies, fall leaves and of course all of those great decorations. Fall is in the air and it is great.

What was I thinking

So on Friday, Papa Posie had surgery .... not just something small, his ACL replaced. So not only am I busy with him and holding down the fort, my kind neighbor brought over 30 lbs..... that right 30 lbs of grapes she had picked off of her vine. Now of course they were very ripe and needed some quick action or else all would be lost. So in addition to everything else, the girls and I made grape juice on Sunday. They had a great time and of course got very sticky. I am still cleaning it up the day after. Whew that stuff gets everywhere. But here they are squishing away trying to juice those grapes. So you might be wondering how it tasted .... pretty good but not like store bought. The grape variety was different. JUICE anyone?

Finally an update

So it has been forever since I have posted. We just recently received some pictures from oldest posie baptism. We had a friend take them and she did a great job Thanks! We had many family and friends that traveled far to be there, thank you and it was fun to visit with everyone.
