God's gifts from pumpkin deliciousness

My blessings are stacking up on me -- what a wonderful dilemma.   Starting from almost two weeks ago... - Purging Adrianna's closet  - "Abel, where are you?"  "Kitty, Mommy!" - Having fun with the kids while Scott traveled for work - Scott emailing home pictures of Adrianna's Mr. Silly Square at various places in his conference, and sharing them with the kids  - Scott's return home from his trip, and his surprising the kids with presents - Riding the bus with Abel and Scott to music time and Farmer's Market, before Scott headed out on his next trip - Adrianna's tiny precious feet  - Adrianna working on the coloring page for the grocery store  - Having dinner at a friend's house while Scott was away ... And the kids having a wonderful time playing there ...And watching the pizza being thrown  - Adrianna and Abel helping to make a birthday card - A fun fundraiser at Adrianna's school - Adrianna making a Lite Brite picture
