A SAFER Halloween Party

When we moved to Texas, we were greatly blessed with many opportunities--better doctors, a good job, a nice house, and very good school for Cristine, (etc..etc...)but one of my favorites is being close to a Food Allergy Support Group called SAFER HOUSTON. I got the opportunity to volunteer my time to organize a safe , food free halloween party for the group. It was so fun! I got to meet even more moms with kids who have food allergies and my kids got to play and have a great time without worrying about "anything". We had a few "glitches" like every event does- but overall everyone had a great time. It is very good for me to remember that there are others who have even more allergies than we do, somebody, somewhere always has a more difficult situation. I am thankful that I have been blessed with a good understanding and additude towards ours. And I am also thankful for these other moms who truly understand. If it wasn't for these mom, I probably would not have brooklyn's diagnosis yet.





Of course we had a pumpkin contest! SO the night beofre we carved our hearts out and came up with these two. The kids thougth it was extremely gross, They never seem to remember what it was like the year before ;) WE got rewarded a "spooky" and "Creative"- Not Bad!

I love this face!



Don't forget if you are carvingpumpkins this year (and are not already using the seeds ;) ) then send them to us!

We're carving our pumpkin tomorrow, how do I store the seeds until next summer? And then how do I plant them, how deep and how far apart?
