The Fighter's

The girls and I dressed up in our Western gear and ventured over to our church's first Fall county fair.  We had an absolute blast.  The girls bobbed for apples, decorated pumpkins, ran around with friends, jumped in leaf piles, played in a bounce house, ate fall food and even square danced.  So much fun celebrating Fall and getting to know new friends!  Grandpa even came down to check out the fair!  Happy Fall...my most favorite time of the year!!

Our next door neighbors throw a big Halloween party every year.  This year...they decided to spice things up and throw a 1950's murder mystery!  Doug and I were given the parts of Peppermint Patty (captain of the cheerleading squad) and Albert the Nerd.  I was a little nervous (acting is not my strong suit), but it was a lot of fun and as you can see from the pictures...everyone went all out with costumes!  Our neighbors even had a 1950 Ford out front for pictures! You'll see the progression of the night below...complete with 50's food (although I brought a cheese ball in the shape of a pumpkin:-)), hula hoop contest, 50's greasers, spiked punch and finally the murder!  It ended up being the school nurse.  Phew!  Glad my date wasn't the culprit!
