Pumpkin Carving
After going to the pumpkin patch I went over to my friends house were we had a pumpkin carving night. Everyone brought their pumpkins, we ate dinner and got started on all the goop and seed pulling and carving, shaving and lighting of our pumpkins. I thought after years of carving I'd try something a little more difficult...at least for me. LOL.

Pumpkins!
Love, Love, Love October with all the pumpkin activities.
Saturday night I went to the haunted corn maze with my friend Bethany and her husband. I came home with mud up to my knees and had fun finding our way through the maze with chainsaw noises and strobe light tunnels and people sneaking up on you while your just standing around answering questions. My question of the night was why is this my first time? Johnny and I will be going again next year and I sooo can't wait.
On Sunday I went to the pumpkin patch with Johnny's family. I enjoyed taking pictures of everyone and yes I did pick one out. I'll show you in my next entry of pumpkin carving. :) To my surprise no tantrums this year. All the kiddos really enjoyed themselves. It was fun!

Cookies!
I started baking cookies to send to Johnny. First of all I hope they get there edible. Secondly, I thought he would enjoy some pictures of me making them since he usually enjoys taking one off the counter fresh out of the oven when he is home.
The suggestion that I have read on the Internet is to freeze the cookies until you go to the post office. So all the orange Tupperware are cookies to send to Johnny. And you get to look at what else is in the freezer. Time for a bigger freezer!
The cookies I made in the pictures are peanut butter with a pumpkin candy. For Halloween of course! Other cookies I baked and are sending out are chocolate cookies and I made chocolate chip oat bars. I am waiting for the bowls to clean up in the dishwasher to start making the sugar cookies. I'm still not sure how all these cookies will end up in the box.

Johnny's Unit
The FRG coordinator for Johnny's unit emailed some links. I hope you enjoy! Although they are just glimpses of what Johnny is doing it's still better than nothing.
As for me.....just sitting around selling a little Scentsy and waiting for time to fly so my husband can come home to me.

NO Broken Bones!
Johnny finally made it to the other base via helicopter. He went to the doctor and said he strained his tendon. Gave him a different brace and now Johnny has to sit and wait to go back to his base.
So after two full weeks of sitting and waiting hopefully next week Johnny will be able to get up and do whatever it is that he is suppose to do. Hopefully nothing too exciting happpens again. I just want him safe and together the way he left.

Johnny lost to a Punching Bag
As Johnny sits bored in Iraq he has worked out just about everyday with some of the guys. Well two days ago he decided to hit the punching bag in between sets of whatever exercises he was doing that day. Let's just say he lost to the bag. Now he has to sit around with a possible broken wrist and wait for a convoy to take him to another base to get x-rays done so they can figure out what exactly he did to himself. I was hoping he would take a picture of himself so I could post it along with this post but no such luck...what a guy! So when he gets some results I can update the blog about him and let all those who read this know as well. As of now he is still waiting and the high amount of Motrin and Advil is not working out. Yesterday he was wishing for a frozen bag of peas...I'm sure he misses home and all the readily available help he would have.
But on the brighter side...we can add this to the list of disability that he can receive when out of the military. He seems to wait for active duty to sustain most of his injuries...lol. I just hope he gets this all situated soon and can actually be productive soon.

Pictures and Collages
A while back I was rummaging through a catalog and mentioned to Johnny that I really liked it. I had intended on getting it. Then a couple of weeks after that I went out with the girls and when I came home he had bought me the collage. Needless to say that was months ago. My goal was to get it all filled in while he was gone. My goal is accomplished! Thanks to my friends who told me about snapfish.com.
My mom had sent me home with this little frame. Glad I got most of my pictures printed out. I had a variety of pictures. Mollie and Daisy are a big part of our lives. We do miss Daisy. Now I have to hang these pictures into our concrete walls...so fun!
