Trick or Treat!

Tonight we had a great night out trick or treating with Benjamin! We couldn't have asked for nicer weather. It was a little strange going out while it was still light this year! As you can see Benjamin was a Phillies baseball player. He wore his Ryan Howard shirt. It worked out great for him--there were a couple of different houses that said alright a Phillies player you can have a couple pieces of candy! Afterwards we helped him go through his candy--tough job, but someone has to do it. We're all on sugar highs!

Keeping His Tonsils For Now...

Thanks to all of you out there that were praying for Benjamin this morning! This morning I took Benjamin to an ENT concerning his reoccurring strep throat. The doctor said he was on the fence as far as removing Benjamin's tonsils at this point. He gets to keep them for now (thank you!!!), however Dr. Belser said if Benjamin gets strep throat 2 more times in the next months he recommends that he has his tonsils removed. We were both relieved! We are praying for no more strep! Since Benjamin was missing lunch at school I said we would go out. His request--a happy meal from McDonald's. Happy day!

Pumpkin Fun...

Over the weekend we stopped at the famous (in this area anyway) pumpkin wagon. All of the pumpkins are $1. No matter the size! Big or small--$1. Sounds like the commercials for the Dollar Store. We got a really big one to carve. Tonight while Brent had a meeting Benjamin and I had some fun. He designed his pumpkin face and I carved it out. Check out the pumkin's beard and hair Benjamin added with marker. We even scooped out the seeds and are roasting them as we speak. Yum! We can't wait to have some for a snack tonight! I love fall-- pumpkins, mums, apples, and the beautiful cool crisp weather we've been having!. They are all great!
