THE WITCH IS IN

THE WITCH IS IN.....

and the witch made little Jake wear his Halloween costume. Doesn't he look all excited about wearing it.

He only had to wear it to help give out treats. There wasn't many trick and treaters, but that is normal because we don't have sidewalks or street lights. Just the local kids comes

.

Our ward Trunk and Treat was Friday night. We had the Snow kids because of Melissa and Dave's adult party. They had a ball and got to spend the night. No makeup with their costumes because Grandma doesn't do makeup. They were cute any way. Dennis and I are on the activity committee. So I had to make about 200 hundred mummie dogs to go with the chilli. I should of made 500 we ran out in the first 5 minutes. Remember for next year.

But at 3:50am Saturday day morning. Lily and Jake came to wake me up. Lily needed a Air Head piece of candy opened. Who knows how long they had been up. (Grandma sleeping through it all) roaming around the house. There was a trick or treat bag in Lily's bed and wrapers all over. Lily and Jake was sent back to bed, with no candy and Grandma tried to get a little more sleep. No wonder Lily was a bear all day long.

All in all we had a wonderful Halloween. Now on to Thanksgiving. No we need to vote first.

Doll Quilt II

I have just finished my second little doll quilt. I was going to make stars, but the pin wheels were easier. Maybe next time I will make stars.

Just right for a little doll or a runner on my table.

SIT SIT

Our little yorkie is learning challenged and hyper.
He is now 1 1/2 years old and he has just learned to SIT.

Tim and Aleca gave us a hint to teach him. Use a treat that he likes. Tim said he should do anything if he likes the treat. Jakey is a very picky eater. Most doggy treats he won't even eat. So why would he do a trick for something he didn't want. Dogs will do any thing if they really want the treat. (daw). So we started using smokie links. Sometimes he even wanted to lick it first to see if it was worth SITTING for. If it was something he wanted. He would sit fast and stay there for another treat. Picky little guy or a very smart little guy.
Now he will SIT, if there is a good treat for him.
He still needs to learn to SIT without a treat, but he is learning.
Next we are going to try a teach him STAY.

He may be learning challenged and hyper, but he is sweet all the time.

A new Couch at the Taylors'

This is our old couch. We thought it would last longer than it did. After all, it was leather and it was only about 6 years old and was hardy used while we were in Chile. The leather was just falling apart.

DO YOU THINK WE NEEDED A NEW ONE? A BIRDS EYE VIEW OF THE BIGGEST HOLE. The light brown are patches to try to stop the holes from enlarging. They didn't work.

The new couch came this week. What do you think of it.

Dad is enjoying it while he watches TV.

Now I need a cute colorful chair to go with it.
