Halloween 2012

On this cool, clear night, we have a cross country witch and a princess Barbie.  Our son is camouflaged in his airsoft gillie suit, so I didn't get a picture.  He is already off somewhere hiding in the bushes or make-shift graveyard.  Have a fun, but safe, Halloween!

Pumpkins & Corn Fields

It's fall time, and that means lots of fun at the nearby corn maze and pumpkin patch.  The kids & I had a great time, and the little one brought a friend.













There were tons of activities for the kids to do!  They had a large spider web to climb on, donkey rides, a petting zoo, and hay rides, among others.












The older two enjoyed getting lost for an hour in the incredibly large corn maze.  (Cell phones are a great thing, by the way.)





























Before we left, each got to pick out a pumpkin.  I was proud of our frugal kids!  Rather than charge by weight, the pumpkins were charged by size in diameter.  So, my kids picked out the really tall & skinny ones!





















Now looking forward to the awesome pumpkin pies, pumpkin bread, and pumpkin cheesecake!  (Yes, we actually eat our pumpkins.)

Resignation

After 7 great years of the best job of my career, I resigned.  Lots of changes were going on, and our latest acquisition seemed the perfect time to resign.

My co-workers threw me an AWESOME luncheon!  We had a Mexican theme (my favorite), with all the tacos, quacamole, and fixings you can eat!  The dessert table was filled with chocolate desserts, and we even had some virgin margaritas!

So many employees sent in cards, letters, and e-mails, and others drove in just to personally say good-bye.  I will truly miss the staff there.

So now, it's on to the next chapter in my life that involves family time, being there for the kids, and maybe in the future, another perfect job.
