Fall Fun

With such wonderful weather today, we couldn't help but play outside!

a boy and his truck!

Asking what she can do to help

Didn't want to get dirty cleaning up the yard

Putting the brush in Cooper's truck

Helping rake leaves

Cooper helped too

Making a big pile

How many Sandidges does it take to rake a pile of leaves?

Jump!

Jump!

Getting dirty

Throwing leaves

Whee!

Big jump

So much fun

Can't you just hear her squeal?

I wish I had the video camera to record their giggles

Daddy found Reagan playing hide and seek

Love his smile

Love her smile too!

Bathing Cutie & Beauty

Couldn't choose just 1!

An Oldie But A Goodie

We brought the trampoline back down from the attic tonight. It had been out of toy rotation for about 6 months. I think they enjoyed having something "new" to play with.

this was Cooper's 1st time to jump on a trampoline I think he liked it!

Reagan showed us what she has been learning at gymnastics

This Is It

During my lunch break today, I treated myself to a movie (the 1st one in over 6 years I might add). I knew Greg would never go with me to see this documentary, so one of my co-workers went with me instead.

I needed closure ~ you see, I saw Michael Jackson and the Jackson 5 on their "Victory Tour" the summer of my 4th grade year (thanks to my aunt Helen for taking me and Kim). I still have my ticket stub as a memento.

This behind the scenes look at his upcoming tour was great. Regardless of what I think of his personal life, he was a terrific artist. And at 50 years old, he kept up with the 20-something dancers quite well...and his voice was very strong. Too bad his life took the turns it did and ended the way it did.

If you get the chance and you were a fan of Michael Jackson in his heyday, I recommend you see this documentary. Two thumbs up!

Together...

...watching cartoons...in peace!

Taking It To The Streets

Once again this year, our church didn't do the annual fall festival but instead "took it to the streets" in the neighborhoods. We passed out candy and grilled 400 hot dogs~giving them out to neighbors and visitors ~ with no strings attached. Thanks to everyone who helped us grill and serve our neighbors. It rained all day, until 5:30pm (the exact time we were scheduled to begin grilling). Our weather plan was to grill in the garage, but God was so good and allowed us to take it to the street literally! The rain held off until we had given out our last dog ~ again, God is so good!

Getting the party started

Out on the streets Carly giving away a hot dog

Ronnie and the one that got away!

The streets were busy all night

Best costume of the night ~ when asked what he was, he replied, "the boy who rides the ostrich". Of course, how could we not have known that!

Even in the drizzle, the hot dogs must be given away

"Event Staff"

Again, thanks to our friends for coming to help out in our neighborhood ~ 400 hot dogs given away in less than 3 hours. No telling how many trick or treaters we actually had. Special thanks to Gigi and Bubba for coming to help with Reagan and Cooper ~ keeping them occupied/entertained/bathed while we were serving our friends and neighbors.
