O Christmas Tree...?

The story behind this tree is pretty funny--it's Connecticut at it's 'best'. This is a cell phone tower. The people in Greenwich, CT, did not want a cell phone tower obstructing thier lovely scenery. So, the company agreed to make it blend in with the scenery. They did a great job--didn't they? HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We get to see it everytime we drive south on the freeway. What wonderful scenery! The original cell phone tower would have attracted LESS attention. Ah, Connecticut. Everytime we drive by, I laugh, I can't help it--I'm laughing right now trying to post it. HA HA HA HA HA !!!!!!! They should put some Christmas lights on it and some glass ornaments and a star. Sing with me,
"Oh cell phone tower! Oh cell phone tower!
How lovely are thy branches!
You stand up high above the rest,
with fake tree leaves you have been dressed!
Oh cell phone tower! Oh cell phone tower!
How lovely are thy branches."



TAGGED BY ANNIE!

Ok, I was tagged by Annie. So here is the 4th picture in my 4th picture file. This is a picture we took on a family trip. I just thought the freeway was so pretty covered with all those trees. But, since this is kind of a boring picture..........................
...I asked Jackson to pick a random number between 1 & 10, he picked 3. So here is the 4th picture in my 3rd picture file. This was 2 yrs ago I think. We made gingerbread houses (I mean, graham cracker houses) for Family Home Evening. This is actually a good picture of me--I like it. OK, I don't know who has been tagged and who hasn't. So I tag Johanna, Jalynn Bryson, and Jessica. Post the 4th picture in your 4th picture file.

Jack-o-lantern Blaze

We went to a Jack-o-lantern festival. There were many many pumpkins--over 5000 to be exact. Once again, my pictures arent' that great. All the lights are jack-o-lanterns. The dinosaur section was my favorite. Everything was made out of stacked jack-o-lanterns.



dinosaurs...some of these dinosaurs may have taken 100 pumpkins. This is a hard picture to make out. These dinosaurs covered a huge spance of lawn. I tried to get them all in one picture. I stink at taking pictures.these pirates were life size...here is what the spider web looks like in the light.....here is what it looks like in the dark.....





Dr. Corey

Corey went on a field trip to the local hospital. His favorite part of the field trip was seeing the x-rays and 'peoples bones'. Now he is a doctor, but if he grabs a scalpel.....RUN!

Pumpkin Farm

We went to a pumpkin farm today. It was fun. They had a small farm, apple picking, a country store, and of course, pumpkins. We bought a few pumkins--expensive pumpkins--now we all have to dress up as garbage bags on Halloween 'cause we spent our money! But we had fun! There aren't many pictures because my camera was low on batteries.







Chair con


Corey, you may think this chair is doing it's job, but it's not.

Corey's Birthday

Corey helped make his own birthday cake. We made a swirl cake. It was good. No surprise, it's a shark. I think this is the last year for the shark. Corey had a great birthday,
