Pumpkin Patch

Well, my pumpkin patch is actually only a pumpkin of one. Tonight for activity days I had the girls make curled paper pumpkins. This is the one I made as an example. The girls really enjoyed the craft and they were a big hit with everybody that saw them. I have all the activities planned out for the rest of the year and even a few for next year. There are activities that I would like to do but they would work best with many children, I only have 2 girls and will soon have 3 but only for a few months. I love coming up with the different activities but every time Wednesday night comes around I don't feel like going but I usually end up having a good time. I am grateful for this calling and that activity days is only twice a month.

Friends

Today my friend Mary and her absolutely adorable daughter Ellie took me to Hank's Deli for lunch for my birthday. The food was good but the company was much better. Mary and I met while at BYU, we worked together, and it made me so happy when she moved to Fairmont a few months ago. It is so nice to have a friend in the area! So thanks Mary and Ellie foe a great afternoon.

Not a good picture of me but this is the only one where everyone is looking and you can see Ellie's big, beautiful, blue eyes.

Me and sweet Ellie Marie

It's Official

Well, it's official...I am now a resident of West Virginia. It all started by getting my car insurance here because it was so much cheaper than Michigan. And in order to get car insurance I had to have a WV driver's license. Here in WV they make you put your weight on your license which is not cool at all. Then today my Michigan license plate was no longer valid so I went to the DMV and got my new plates, which is also cheaper here then in Michigan. But despite being an official West Virginia resident, I will always be a Michigander!
