I've Got a Fever...Fall Fever

Five Little Pumpkins

a Halloween poem

____________________

Five little pumpkins sitting on a gate.

The first one said, "Oh my, it's getting late."

The second one said,"There are witches in the air."

The third one said, "But we don't care."

The fourth one said, "Let's run and run and run!"

The fifth one said, "We're ready for some fun."

Then "OOOOOO" went the wind and out went the lights,

And the five little pumpkins rolled out of sight!

I know Amber will remember that little Halloween poem! That one has been a favorite since I was a little girl. I didn't work today so I have been to various places in Farmington and Kaysville, taking in all the fun fall colors and looking at some very fun Halloween decorations. I love this time of year!

First off, for FHE this last Monday night we had a nice lesson given by my cousin Kayleigh (10), and for the activity Bob had the idea of painting a couple of pumpkins and giving them to neighbors. It was such a fun idea, and we had a good time painting those pumpkins.

Here are a few pictures of the pumpkin-painting fun:

Ashleigh and I worked on this one together.

We had a fun time with this FHE activity. It is a great idea to have some fun and also give service to somebody who needs a friend this Halloween.

I have had quite a fun day! Penney and I went to Farmington Elementary with Penney's friend, Margaret, where my cousin Kayleigh is in the 5th grade. Her class has been reading a story about a boy who was in a talent show performing the song "La Bamba" and the music got stuck. And he was lip syncing, so he was mouthing the same words over and over again. (Too bad Ashley Simpson wasn't there to give him some pointers on what to do when that happens!) So Kayleigh's class decided to do lip sync performances in small groups, and they performed them today. It was so much fun! It took me back to the days of being in elementary school and how much fun we had. Kayleigh's group was at the very end, but I was so glad we got to watch all the other kids! It was so fun! Kayleigh and her friends Kate, Courtney, and Mary performed a lip sync to a song from Hairspray and they did an awesome job. I'm glad we went.

After the performance we went to lunch at a cute little shop in Kaysville. It was so good! I had sandwich on some delicous honey whole wheat bread. After lunch we went next door to a craft boutique where they had some really cute decorations for Christmas, Halloween, and Thanksgiving. I loved going through there, it made me so excited to decorate my house with holiday decor!

Tyson is coming tonight and I'm so excited!!! We get to see each other on the weekends so I've been very happy with that. We tried going a weekend without seeing each other and it just wasn't a good idea. So...we're switching off the weekends in Utah and Idaho. I'll be in Idaho the next two weekends for Halloween, family events, and wedding appointments, so that should be fun.
