a cozy day at home....

Six of my daughters, two of my grandsons, Paul and I at the end, one big comfy couch. Why were we all cozied up on one couch, you might ask? We don't exactly know. Adrian was on another couch, and Jonathan in my chair. Ben and Ashley had already left with their two little girls. We had finished dinner, a turkey dinner with cranberry sauce and homemade mac and cheese made by Evelyn. We had a huge salad, rolls, then pumpkin pie. I made one with no sugar, just added a bit of stevia to it, and it was really good.

Evelyn went and cut some branches, we spray painted them, then spray painted this old five gallon pail. We filled it with the dirt from all the plants that were on the deck, then added some rocks to the top to weigh it down. A 200 count light set, solar lights, and yay! I hope hope hope the lights work, and it lights up tonight!

Elise holding her baby cousin Tennyson....shh, can I tell you a secret? Elise is going to be a big sister! Anya and Elise are going to have a baby sibling! Ben and Ashley are pretty thrilled. (Elise is all about the babies...she always needs a turn to hold them)

Cam and Sunny, just because.

Paul called Wulf over to watch a video about jets...

Wulf loves his grandpa. I had to tell Paul the other night, "Don't give him any C-A-N-D-Y!", because I had already given him some M&M's. Wulf knows that grandpa is good for some sweets, he'll rummage through the pantry and give him stuff. Today, I have to bring Ben and Ashley to the airport, they are going to Florida to visit grandma (great grandma to the girls!). Then I have a ride-on digger to pick up from a lady, from marketplace, for Wulf's Christmas present. We are itching to decorate for Christmas. Yesterday, I actually gathered up all the autumn decorations, the pumpkins and orange candles, Thankful mugs and fall flowers, put it all on the table, so we could start decorating for Christmas. Well, we looked at all of that stuff, and decided we still like it, and put it all back. Next week, we'll decorate for Christmas.
