HaLLoWeeN PuNKin' HuNt












This year we decided to try our luck at a local U-pick farm, Shoemakers. It's a funny little place. Inside, it smelled like cigarettes and pickles , there was a character of an old guy,and a dog with 3 legs we named "Stool". The pumpkins were waithing across the road for us. We got to hunt for the right one in the tall weeds and grass that over ran the patch. It was fun. As you can see we found 3 that were just right for us. We took them home, ripped out their guts and carved them up! Halloween fun for us!

Happy Birthday from Pollyanna

Happy Schmappy Birthday to me!

So, I know this is late, not that anyone is surprised...but I wanted to say thanks to the girls for the fun birthday lunch. ( I wrote proper Thank You notes and delivered about half of them so far..duh.) And then to make it even sweeter, Pollyanna (who has entirely admirable talents) made me a fantastic fondant mad hatter birthday cake! She made the fondant out of marshmallow so it tasted as wonderful as it looked! I took pictures of the art.

Jess and Wes on the first day of Kindergarten

Jess and Wes on the first day of Kindergarten
Jess woke up on this particular morning in rare form. She usually doesn't care what she's wearing; her birthday suit is just as good as anything else. On this day inparticular, she informed me that she didn't want any bows or bands and that she had her clothes picked out. Was that Kindergarten or 8th grade?
