I Can't believe the amount of leaves we raked this weekend!

 Friday was Pumpkin carving at Oma's. Liesl had a great time playing with all the kids (Aly, Chloe and Gavin). I couldnt even get her to go to the potty when she said she had to go because "I wanna go play with my friends". I managed to carve a few more pumpkins for our front window which was nice. I am loving having a big window to put stuff like that there.

Saturday morning Liesl and I helped Dennis finish making his costume. Good thing I worked on it through the week because "crazy big" means crazy lot of sewing! I am thinking about making a quilt this winter. i have a few of Floyd's bandana's I saved and I would like to include those in there. Liesl took a nice long nap in the afternoon. In the evening we picked up Oma and Grandad and visited Tillson St in Romeo for the Halloween festivities that they put on. Liesl loves scary things and she especially loved the 2 pirate ships out on to adjacent lawns. It was so packed there though. Wish they didnt allow people to drive down there during the evening hours because of all of the people.

Liesl and I raked a lot of leaves this weekend. Sunday morning the 2 of us visited grandad and Oma and helped rake all of her leaves. Liesl had a lot of fun rolling around in them on the front lawn. We stayed and had lunch then went home for her nap. Then raked our leaves and I swear that all of the leaves from the whole block were in our backyard. There sure were more than our trees could have produced. I still have piles all over the yard waiting for the yard waste bin to be empty enough to fit more in. Jim made some chili to die for for our Halloween festivities. It was much better than some I have made but really hot. Oma, Grandad and Ota came by to go trick or treating in our sub. Ota manned the door and handed out candy (I think the 1st time ever) and Grandad supervised Ota. Daddy and Oma, Liesl and I went out trick or treating. We did wait a little til it got dark and Liesl was ready to go since the siren went off! She was yelling trick or treat to the kids and helping hand out candy and "trick or treating" with her bucket with our candy. We took her out in the wagon with a bunch of fleece blankets and her punkin lantern on the handle so people could see us. She siad trick or treat and thank you to most people except when there was a dog because it was either making her nervous or distracting her. When she got home she was calling all of her candy her "booty". Daddy and I allowed her a pack of M&M's and some Ritz bits crackers.

Pictures from Halloween to come soon. Need to unload my camera.
