THANKSGIVING
...tea with Lake
...making apple pie and eating
apple "worms" from the peeler
Kaatje's preschool Thanksgiving program








Passing time and change in weather
with forts and bonding time...
never a dull moment.

Happy Halloween from Cinderella and her chicken!
Never a dull moment when you've got these two together.
We went to the Great Pumpkin Chase night at RMCA (Kaatje's school)..the kids played games,
got candy and basically just looked at everyone else in their costumes. So funny!




Kaatje and Grant...notice the arm! :)



Our version of carving pumpkins and if you're wondering,
that is curly hair she is drawing. Front views coming soon!
