Jake is working diligently to clean up our horse pasture. His boss was very nice, and let us demo an excavator, and we are using it to clean up the blackberries, and level the pasture. Jake has been outside working from sun up to sun down. JW and I were out there the other day, throwing wood on the burn pile, and watching Jake drive the excavator. We might actually get the pasture looking presentable. Here is the LINKBELT!!!

Halloween '08

I am the worst when it come to procrastinating!! I have known for a long time that halloween was coming, but I still kept saying I will get JW's costume later. We couldn't really decide what we wanted him to dress up as. He is still young enough, that we wanted something kind of cute. Since I put off shopping until 2 days before halloween, all the cute costumes were gone. The ones that were left were either to small or they were to scary for JW. He didn't want a mask over his face.

Jake came up with the idea that we dress him up as a logger. We found some red suspenders at Wilco, and Jake bought him some worker boots at Goodwill. Jeans and a flannel shirt finished off the outfit. Jake let him wear an old hard hat that he had. I didn't think the outfit looked all that cute, but when we took him trick or treating, everyone commented on how cute he looked, and how they loved that we didn't just buy an outfit. I guess my procrastination paid off!!

Here are some pics of him in his outfit, and also with the pumpkin that his Nana and grandpa grew in their garden for him. He has loved going to the garden, and seeing his pumpkin get bigger.
