Hello there.

I love having a chalkboard door

Does this picture make you nervous?

She HAD to cut it.  It was too long she said.

There.  That's much better.

And cute I think.

Stylin'

Our pumpkins this year were HUGE.

Gracie decorated our mailbox for Halloween

Isabel loved jumping into large piles of leaves.

Who doesn't, really.

The train stopped right here. 

For 20 minutes.

We were patient.

Grace doing homework.

Isabel coloring.

I rearranged the girls room.

They love it.

I walked into the bathroom the other day and saw this.

Well hello Mr. Panda.

Handstands!

There's an angel at my table...

We were playing hide -n- seek stuffed animals

 and this is where I found Grace's.

Isabel hugging Grace with Mr. Chicken (Scooby's favorite toy)

while on a stool.

Coffee, a must.

Grace sent me this message the other day.

Love it.  It made me smile.

We went to a family friendly comedy club for my Niece's

birthday.  Laughed so hard!

Smiley.

The Thinker.

And a very cute one too.

We celebrated Scooby's birthday

We made pupcakes.

A silly face behind a piece of ice.

Bikes, frogs and joy

The Cody Street Gang

All their bikes lined up in a row in the front yard while they play in the back

Scooby all ready for Halloween

Isabel picked out a frog costume for him

Isabel tried it on too!

This girl brings me great joy

Bless you.

Fall Concert

Grace sang at the Fall Concert with the rest of her class the other night.

And Aunt Christi, Stephanie, EJ, Ian and Bethany were able to join us from Nebraska.

It is always so good to see them.

Grace and her class did great!

sigh...

and this little guy won us over again and again.

Mike and E.J.

Thanks for stopping in Aunt Christi!

things i love this week

The latest edition to my kitchen.

It's a love affair.

I have had the luxury of cooking with fresh eggs supplied by my neighbor.

We get them fresh weekly.  I notice such a difference and I love the brown colors.

My baking assistant and official beater-licker.

It's the best part.

Snuggles with Scooby in the early morning.

They just lay there - together like this.

Isabel watching a video on my bed while I watch The Natural.

One of my favorite movies.  A classic.

And I love just having her near.

Have a great week.
