Gifts from God: October

* a day off of school - Columbus Day - to spend at home with my family

* a stroll around the pumpkin patch

* sweet applesauce cupcakes, to eat after shcool as a treat

* mad scientist in the kitchen, laughing while doing his school project

* the picture my mad scientist colored of us doing his science project... don't you love my long pink and red hair?

* cool enough weather that makes it pleasant to be outdoors

* a visit from a beloved Bishop

* waking up and seeing the clock shine 6:45am instead of 5:00am... crossing myself and thanking God that the baby has slept in!

Thank you, Oh Lord, for every good thing.

  2. Emma,

    Oh, no! That was the local Gift Shop that sponsors a "Pumpkin Patch" to raise money for a Domestic Abuse Shelter every October.

    Our house has exactly 4 pumkins. And no brick walk-way, though it does look lovely, doesn't it?
