Saturday 10/31

Busy day today! Babysat little Samuel this morning while the other two went to their respective activities. Eleanor to tumbling and Alexander to jiu jitsu. He came to our house this time as we were expecting a delivery of firewood and I knew he would love to see the big dump truck come and drop it on the driveway. Unfortunately he had to go home before it got here. Then TJ our some and Alexander came to help Papa haul the face cord of wood from the driveway around to the back deck to be put on the wood rack. Papa gave Alexander 10.00 for helping and I think he was pretty excited! He picked up every piece of wood and handed it to Papa to be stacked! Later in the I made two recipes of homemade apple cider donuts for neighbors and us when we were out handing out trick or treat candy tonight. They were very good if I do say so myself! We moved the firepit to the front driveway and had a bonfire. After the kids trick or treated their own neighborhood they came over and we had hot dogs cooked outside and mac and cheese. I also cut up a big plate of all differnt fruits in the hopes they would snack on that a bit. Seemed to work as the plate came back in empty! They trick or treated out neighborhood and then I brought Sam in and gave him a bath while the two older kids went back out again. It was a good day and though it was very windy at least it was warmer than the snowy Halloween we had last year!
