Beggar's Night

 

Ok, Iowa is a bit different than the rest of the world.  The kids here go 'trick-or-treating' on October 30 for beggar's night and then Halloween itself is very anti-climatic.  Lucky for us, today's weather has been perfect - low 70s.  So anyway, for your Halloween pleasure, here are the Greening Goblins... John-the crazy clown; Annie-the annoying reporter; Katie-the sorceress; and Erin-Lucy Prevensie from The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe.

Sorry for the long absence from blogger world.  Here are pictures to catch everyone up on the lives of the Greening Family.  These are not in correct order, but my life is like that right now. 

Here is the first day of school - John-7th grade, Annie-5th grade, Katie-2nd grade & Erin-1st grade.

 

Our patio has had a makeover-stamped concrete overlay to be exact.  We love it and look forward to entertaining next Spring.

As you can see, the new look is considerably better!

Annie has been a wild quilting woman, finishing one for Patty's family and one for Joe & Kelly.  

Here is the Woods' family quilt - green and gold.  

And here is Joe & Kelly's quilt - blue & gold.

Early in September, I visited Park City.  Here we are with Kelly's family at Deer Valley Resort for a Dwight Youkam concert.  

On Sunday, Joe, Kelly and I climbed the PC mountain behind their house.  Joe & Kelly are standing on the top of the 'C' and then in the other picture you can see the PC behind Mom and me way up high.  It's amazing how huge those letters are.
