Halloween was a lot of fun! Eve and Andrew always end up with tons of candy so they are happy. The pumpkins in the picture of the kids on our porch were all grown in our garden. We had huge fairytale pumpkins and so many that we were giving them away. Next year I think the kids want to sell them (we had offers this year!) Nate has been busy digging trenches in the back yard for landscaping drainage and building a firewood stand and awning. He found out last week that he can't go back to firefighting until the end of Jan/Feb. since his finger is still broken! He was really bummed. The doctor also said "Don't tell me about any extreme sports either" to which Nate replied, "oh, like the three day motorcycle trip I just went on in the desert?" He had a great time on his gyu trip and is enjoying being 35! Andrew hit his head today and had to get three staples! (thus the frankenstein)That kid didn't even cry! He came running toward me with blood all over saying "Mom, I hit my head!" He hit a pole! The most disappointing part for him is that he will miss his first basketball game this Saturday. I knew he was okay though when, while we were waiting for the doctor, he asked if he gets to stay home from school tomorrow with his big smile on his face. It is fun to see all the pictures and hear everyone's news!
