FHE Pumpkin Carving

For our family home evening activity we decided to carve a pumpkin. We have not done anything Halloween-y, so carving a pumpkin seemed like a good idea. I made a two pumpkin rolls and we, also, delivered them to families I knew. Richie would carry the pumpkin roll and give it to the family. He was really excited to get to deliver treats to other families.

Other than our exciting FHE, I have been working on lots of homework for school. I had a final and a mid-term book report and a group project. I just started 2 new classes and it seems like they will be fun, but keep me busy. We are looking forward to Halloween, Richie will be Spiderman and I had to hide the costume because he wants to wear it all the time. Bobby continues working and we've been told that December and January will be slow, but they expect to have at least part-time work for him during those months. Bobby's job continues to change, the company he works for is joining a larger trucking company. This may be good or bad, we're not sure yet. Right now he gets paid hourly, but they have told him they will change to paying by load instead of by hour. The company is, also, going from paying their drivers weekly to monthly. I really liked the weekly paychecks, it's kind of nice. It does mean they will offer benefits to their employees, so we are excited about that. We are hoping this is all for the better and that he will continue to make enough to pay our bills. We hope everyone is enjoying celebrating Halloween (only 2 weeks left).
