Happy Halloween and Joy List Monday

Happy Halloween

Thank you for the prayers last week.
Our friend who lost her dad had good news. Her son is in the Navy and the Red Cross helped him get home for his grandpa's funeral.

Today I am sharing all the carving fun we have enjoyed for the Halloween season.
 
We are Milwaukee Brewer fans in this house, but for the World Series most of us are cheering for the Cubs. We have one Indian's fan, my son Atticus.
Sam's fun jack o lantern.
Atticus' jack o lantern.
My husband carved this big ♥  for me.
Joy List Monday
a weekly ritual

a reminder to stop and pay attention
 to the little beauties and graces 
 that make life magical and to set aside time for gratitude each day
 
♥ family time ... taking time to unplug and be with family

 ♥ baseball ~ I do love the game of baseball and have enjoyed watching the World Series

 ♥ the fun of Halloween ... our neighbor has decorated so fun this year, he hung colorful pumpkins in his maple tree

 ♥ It's The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown ... I love this movie ... it never gets old

 ♥ the excitement our son Sam is having with his first job ... he had a great first few days

Thank you again for all the prayers and love sent this way last week!

  3. So glad he could get home for the funeral. I love the carved pumpkins. That must have been fun for the family. I haven't carved a pumpkin in years. How sweet of your husband to carve a heart. I probably would have fainted. :)

  8. Oh, you guys are creative with your jack-o-lanterns! I'm not much of a baseball fan, but it's the Cubs in the World Series! How often does that happen?! So I understand you. ;-) Happy Halloween!

  14. Delightful jack-o-lanterns, Carla. My brother loves the show "It's The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown." Whenever I see it, I smile thinking of him. :)
