Trick or Treat

Really, Nate was just about the cutest cow ever...
(well, there was a pretty cute one a few years ago too!)

The sweetest Spring, Fall & Winter Fairies...

We had a dry, but cold trick or treat. Mom & Dave handed out our candy while we took the kids out along with the Saunders. We gave out candy to over 200 kids & got about that much back.

Happy Birthday Poppa Dave!

Cheesecake & Chocolate Pie = Yum!

Halloween Parade

Zoe & Anabelle at dance on Monday.

Almost Done...

The bathroom & main room *just* need flooring & trim.

Thanks to help from Uncle Ben with the trim, my room is almost done. Tony can't wait to get me out of the den & down here. It certainly is bright & cheerful.

All About Me

At school today Zoe was finally (they went alphabetically by first name) the star of the day. She got take something in that the kids had to try to guess using 3 clues she made up.

1. It rhymes with bell.
2. It comes from the beach.
3. You can hear the ocean in it.

This was a shell she got from the tooth fairy.

Then, she filled in the following & read it to the class.

My name is Zoe.
Come read about me.
I was born on March 26.
I was a cute baby.
I like butterflies and my mommy.
I really do.
I don't like skunks.
How about you?

She didn't share this until this evening - after misbehaving & being yelled at by me all afternoon. You would think she would have behaved better for one of her favorite things...

Nate at Storytime

What a good little listener...

Going under the parachute...

Fall Trees

The trees out back are so pretty right now that I had to snap a quick photo... I am sure they will gone before I know it.

Fashion Diva

Zoe shows off her trenchcoat that her ultra-cool Aunt Amanda bought her...

A Future Phrenologist?

Perhaps, Zoe's true calling is to be a phrenologist. This would explain her constant touching of Nate's head. This is her touching his head while at the mall play place...

Pumpkins & Company

We a had nice visit this weekend with Grandma & Aunt Amanda. The festivities included pumpkin picking & carving...

Hat & Mittens

Nate - wearing the hat & mittens that I just knitted for him...

What did you do last night?

Did you take apart your plasma tv? We did!

At Work
