Menzie Clan Adventures!: Halloween Cupcakes and Painting Pumpkins!

I am yet again behind on blogging! I guess that just means we have been keeping busy! We have gone 3 weeks now without Neil and things are going as smooth as we can hope for! I spent 5 days about 2 weeks ago with Dan and Ellyn in Cheyenne and she is headed down here as we speak to stay a few days! Then, Ken and Cindy will be getting here sometime this weekend! I am looking forward to having company in the house and helping to make time go by faster for us!Neil will be coming home over Thanksgiving...28 days :) I am not excited or anything, am I?!?!

Owen and I tried a new church last weekend and both of us really enjoyed it! It is called Woodmen Valley Chapel and there are two "campuses". One is only about 4 minutes from our house! YEY for convenience, too! Each location has 2 services and we tried the early one at 8:45 am and it was PACKED!! I bet the 11:00 am service is standing room only! When I picked Owen up from his classroom, there were a TON of kids and he talked about it the whole way home! They have so many ministries and activities that I cannot wait to try if we choose to stay with this church!

Ok, on to the pictures! Owen and I decorated Halloween cupcakes a couple of weeks ago and he had a BLAST! And somehow, made little to no mess! Way to go Owen! :)

Yesterday it was 72 degrees here, so we sat outside and painted pumpkins. He did a really good job and kept all the paint on his pumpkin or the cardboard! I was just waiting for the moment the dog came too close to the paint brush and became a "dog of a different color!"

Tomorrow, I go in for my 20 week ultrasound to make sure everything is developing the way it should! I would say check back tomorrow to see what we are having but we have decided to wait until the day of delivery to know if it is a boy or girl! I am so blessed to have Ellyn coming this week because she is going to stay with Owen while I go have it done! Thanks Ellyn! I am a little sad though that Neil does not get to take part in this, but I will show him the pictures and tell him all about it!

Enjoy the pictures and have a great rest of October and HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
