Fun With The Girls

After school on Monday, I got the girls nails ready for the Halloween holiday.

(I explained to them October is the only month they are able to paint their nails black.)

Aunt Janel gave us this great idea of gluing on googly eyes.

The KC Pumpkin Patch

On Friday, I was able to go on a school field trip with the girls. It was a great time even though the temperature never got out of the 50's. Brrrrr.

~ESU~

On October 3rd the girls were able to cheer with the ESU Cheerleaders during the first half of the football game. We had a great day. The only thing that could of made the day better would of been having the Hornet pull out a victory.

Hartford Harvest Days

The Darbyshire Family put together a float for the Hartford Harvest Days. The theme was "Over the Rainbow". The girls always enjoy riding on the Float and throwing candy to their friends. We always put the float together the night before, which was alot of fun this year due to the wonderful help we had. We want to thank Aunt Janel, Grandma and Grandpa Darbyshire, Grandma and Grandpa Combes, Uncle Mike,Windle and Ashley.

Bailey's First 4-H Project

On Sunday we went and picked up Bailey's 4-H steer. At this point his name is Herbie, this could possibly change. The poor thing is very scared and is slowly adjusting to his new home. Bailey gets up every morning before school and feeds him. Every night we go out and spend time with him so he can get accustomed to us being around.

Silage Season

Silage season has been a long drawn out process this year. Due to the weather it is taking much longer than usual. The season usually starts in August with us finishing up the first of September. This year we are only about half done. We cut silage for customs from Eureka to Westphelia, with stops in Madison, Olpe, Hartford, and Burlington. The average work day starts at 7am and they run until 12am, then they do it again the next day. It makes it a very long day on everyone, husbands and wives.
