Sweetpea Stretches

It was watching night at dance classes last night.

Yup.  I can do that.  Mmmm-hmmm.  Really.

Our Snowman Friend and His Pal Mitten

The kids were out with Nick the other night.  Nick was shoveling.  The kids were building a snowman - carrot nose, dried apricot eyes...  Munch created a little dog to keep the snowman company (see it in front of the snowman?).  His name is Mitten.

Sweetpea carefully placed a snow ball into the snowman's hand so he could play ball with Mitten.

Looks just like he's ready to wing the ball off into the distance and have Mitten go chasing after it...

A Boy and His (Neighbor's) Dog

These pictures aren't the best quality, but the story they relate is priceless. 

What happens when you put a boy and his neighbor's puppy together on a crisp fall day???

This...

Whew!!!

Getting Ready to Haul Wood

BYE!!!!!!!!!

Wishing everyone a wonderful day today!  It's going to be sunny and 72 degrees here!  And we are going to pick some pumpkins.  What are you doing today?

Two Little Monkeys

We always read bedtime stories to our children.

Each one of them gets their own story, or portion of a story, each night.  Sweetpea gets hers on this rocker.

This is what I found one day when I walked into her room ready to read to her.
