Halloween!

Halloween...it must be a kid's favorite holiday! Costumes, candy, sugary snacks--what an unbeatable combination! Halloween was extra fun at our house this year because of seeing how much the boys enjoyed it. This is their second Halloween here, but last year Jonathan didn't think much of it!

Jonathan helps to get the candy ready for trick-or-treaters.

Amy helps with the designing process.

Don't you think that eye should be a little bigger?

Yep, that looks better!

Phyllis Papachek Auction

A week ago Saturday we had an auction for Phyllis Papachek near Warwick. It was a really fun auction to do, with lots of antiques! She is an incredible lady--86 years old, and just moving off the farm where she was born, and lived all her life.


Victor is getting some experience working the trailers!


Sharing a joke with Bill!

Merchandise always sells better when properly displayed


It's really interesting what you can find on these household trailers!








Our cute ringman!
