Ah hoy there mateys! Mom has a new look!

Deon got her Cinderella dress from cousin Hailey today!! We were so excited!

Where to start. Well, the top left is Ricky chasing Cora after being perterped long enough. They chase each other back and forth all day long. Then next to that we've got our next Green Bay Packers quarter back! And Deon sampling my boots. The thigh high boots don't look quite right on her...Then there's Blake and Deon in Cora's cage. Those smiles crack me up! Say cheeeeese!!! Deon did a cheer camp. That was intersting. She's not a cheerleader - yeah! She just wants to dance! It was snowing that night too as you can see in this last picture. :)

What a great day! Harry's Kindergarten field trip to the pumpkin patch. Harry was excited since it was his first time riding the bus. The rule of the pumpkin patch was the kids could pick any pumpkin as long as they could carry it. Most of the boys went for the largest pumpkins and the girls had small pumpkins. It was fun to see. He loved this day!

Apple picking time! This is my favorite time of the year. We took a little trip to an apple orchard near us. It was a great day. Harry of course picked several apples, from the forbiden trees before I realized what he was doing. He was excited. Kate was our trusty wagon puller until the load became too heavy, not with apples. Harry decided that a wagon ride would be a better way to travel through the orchard. FYI, Harry does not like to be called Harrison. He informed me the other day when I called him Harrison it means he is in trouble. Otherwise, I always need to call him Harry.

Kate and Harry's first day of school. Harry woke with great excitement and exclaimed, " Kate wake up it is our first day of school". He then rushed downstairs to use the bathroom. He wasn't in there but a minute and I here, "Mom, my stomach doesn't feel good", and with that he began to throw up. So much for his first day of Kindergarten. Poor guy!

So here's our latest and greatest! Starting at the top, Blake loves spaghetti and that is why we eat it outside! Deon's face is painted like spider man because we went to a carnival and while all the other girls looked like fairies or princesses, mine was the only spider woman! Be afraid!!! She would not let us wash her face for 3 days. Yuck! As for the bunney outift. Well, thank you Sarah and can anyone say Christmas Story? Sorry, she plans on being Cinderella this year for Halloween. :) Blake loves books and loves to climb into anything. That's his favorite spot to look at a book. He looks like a little boy and he's only 12 months there!! And there's Cora and Deon taking a nap together. I don't think Cora sleeps anymore, and if she does it's while she's in time out for jumping on the kids. Why can't she sleep inside?! Cora loves to chase Ricky but it results in Ricky turning around and chasing after her. No one messes with the de-clawed cat!!
