Animals

I had some animals hopping about my living room. Can you tell what they are?

Kangaroo, bunny, kangaroo

"Mommy, I wrote my name!"

Royalty

While I was working on Ruby's Halloween costume the girls used the scraps of felt to make crowns. Varying sizes of scraps meant they had to find varying sizes of heads to wear them.

Guess who had a birthday?

They loved the crowns they got at school and wore them all day. I loved the way Cora's rested on her ears and eyes. It's rather crazy to me that they are six already. How did that happen?

Jack-O-Lanterns

We carved the pumpkins from the pumpkin patch. Cora drew the face on hers, I just cut where she drew. I helped the other two.

We did do it before Halloween. Then I found I only had one candle that would work in a pumpkin so we lit them up one at a time so the girls could see them.

More snow pictures

These are from the same snow storm that covered Ray's pickup with tree branches. The girls had a snow day from school so they got to stay home and play. We did some snow shoveling and, amazingly enough, I wasn't as sore as I expected the next day. Did I mention that the snow was really wet (and subsequently really heavy)?

Let's play a game: Where's Ray's Pickup?

Can you find it? This was what our backyard looked like after a very early, very wet snow in October. The pickup is fine, not that a new dent or two would have been noticeable, anyway.
