Pumpkins, Pumpkins, Pumpkins

Every year I try to get the kids pictures with the pumpkins at the Arboretum. This year some friends of ours went with us- Grace, Katie, and Max Moon. I was not able to get everyone together, but only individually- Kate was the trouble maker this day. Still cute- maybe next year!

Caroline was having fun until someone ran into her in the maze- then she needed to pout for a while.

Halloween

Here are some Halloween pics. Wish I could have had a theme for all the little ones, but now they have opinions!! David was a power ranger (Brent was one years ago- didn't think that would still be around), Caroline was a princess- of course, and Kate was a kitty (she likes to crawl around and say meow- even before the costume).

Looking for some new music?

Here are some great new music suggestions: all Christian and wonderful! My favorite is Sara Groves. Also love Meredith Andrews, Derek Webb, and Sanctus Real. Even Brent likes them! I checked them out the library to make sure I liked their CDs. Didn't know there was such great music out there!

"What is a date?"

My 4 year old David told me today what a date is. "It is when you go to eat at a restaurant and then go to a ball to dance together."

How sweet!

Mother's Day projects

The kids did such a great job and loved making their gifts for Grammy and Grandma. They painted clay pots and I am going to add their picture with a poem. Grammy got a bigger pot that they worked on together, and Grandma got three separate pots (easier to take back on a plane). David and Caroline did a great job and had fun painting. Kate painted a little bit of the pot then started painting all over the paper on the table. She was a big yellow mess! They turned out so cute and they were so proud of their work!!! Happy Grandmother's Day!!!

"Mini Me" Caroline

Caroline is me all over again. We are so alike it is so funny. She repeats everything I say also. Uh oh!

Last week David was having a meltdown while getting out of the car when we got home from school.

Caroline calls out to him in the garage: "David, get in this house RIGHT NOW! You have lost your mind!"

Hmmmm- yes, I have said that before.

Where are my little kitties?

Okay, maybe I need to stop referring to Kate as my little kitty. The other day we were getting ready to leave school, and I said, "Where are all my little kitties?"

Kate looks at me and says in her little sweet voice, "Meow, meow, meow."
