Some Early Halloween Fun

Farmer John and I

Went to my cousin's house for a 2 year olds birthday party/ Halloween party. We had fun dressing up, though I know John had so much more fun than me and laughed the entire night at me in the cow costume.  But I stayed warm and had fun. We played a few games and had a few treats and it was just fun to dress up. Who doesn't like dressing up now and again?

Verse of the Week: Romans 1:16

For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

Romans 1:16 (ESV)

New Look

As you may have noticed our blog has a new look. We are going for a more sleek, modern feel and I am just experimenting with a few things, so if it changes again in a few weeks, just bear with me.

Spunky Dunkers Day

 Every Friday at work is donut day. We used to get Dunkin Donuts and then one day everything changed. One Friday the donuts looked different. They were in a box labeled Spunky Dunkers. They were good! And so began a marvelous new tradition that I have labeled Spunky Dunkers Day.

The even better news is that Spunky Dunkers is nearby and John and I went there and were able to buy a box of day old donuts for $4. The only thing better than a box of delicious donuts is a box of delicious donuts at a sweet price!

They have two locations that I know of: In Palatine and Arlington Heights. So if you live nearby and haven't been you should definitely check them out!

Caramel Apple Candy Corn Rocks!

Just had to give a shout out to this amazingly delicious candy corn. It's Brach's Caramel Apple and it's addicting. Don't you want to go try it now?

Pumpkin Farm Fun

John and I decided to have a fall outing to a local pumpkin farm.

We didn't buy a pumpkin but we did walk around and enjoy the fields of pumpkins.

We even had a pumpkin donut and some apple cider. It was just a reminder to me of how amazing creation is. Pumpkins are odd looking.

They come in so many shapes and sizes and varieties and just look funny.

They are so unique.

I just love all the many facets of creation.

What a creative God we have!

Sleep Aid Works!

I got a good deal on this product and have had it in my cabinet for a while. Why I did not think of taking it Friday night when I was up the entire night because I just couldn't sleep is beyond me. However, after being up all night I knew that I needed to sleep on Saturday night, so I went to my cabinet and took a swig. It worked great and I got a much better night sleep. So if you are looking for a product that works to help you sleep this one will do it. I would never recommend taking a sleep aid often but for those once in a while times....it should do the trick! Thank you ZzzQuil!
