A pumpkin and a reindeer

It snowed yesterday afternoon at our house. Which made for a lot of excitement. Anna and Megan were running around excitedly promising: "Santa claus is coming!". So cute and funny. It seems like they really have a hard time understanding time, days, calendars ect. Anyway they hurridely got dressed to play in the snow. They found clothes to wear all by themselves resulting in mismatched gloves, borrowing mom's snow hat and digging out cowgirl boots. They ran outside for about 5 mins then came in requesting hot chocolate and a bath. (We later found Megan in our bathroom sink enjoying her 'bath') Anna was so excited to show off her "reindeer" cleverly placed right next to the jack o lantern she carved the previous evening.
 

 

A typical evening at our house: David is in to everything! He is at a cute age of exploring and learning and starting to make a big mess. The girls and I sometimes try to clean up after him and he is faster at pulling it back out than we are at putting it away. He is starting to hear "No, no" a lot.
 

Anna and Megan love playing together. It is so wonderful for them to have each other. Lately they say things like "We're best friends forever". So cute! They like to imagine and pretend: making a clubhouse or a hotel, playing school, mommy and baby, scooby doo, and parade. The parade is very loud! but they give out candy and money (Wayne got $100 from Anna, too bad it wasn't real!):)

just a little of this week

We have had a busy great week! The weather turned warm again, and we have enjoyed being outside. The girls also have lots of fun at school and coloring and creating. They are at fun ages. David is busier all the time, he loves being outside, pulling anything out of a cupboard or basket and watching his sisters play. Anna loves drawing and painting, and Megan is also becoming quite the little artist. I have just enjoyed watching them and seeing the beauty all around this week. Wayne of course is busy with work and fishing. My freezer is getting pretty full of fish! Any great recipe ideas?

Isn't it great to be a kid? They love playing at the playground! It is so cool that they are playing on some of the great old things that I played on as a kid!

Busy at our Reunion

We were very busy to squeeze so much into a day and a half. Wayne had a horseshoe tournament; I brought beads for watches; we had a fun cook off; grandma brought our favorite candy bar game; we all had a wonderful time!

Fun with cousins

The kids had a lot of fun playing with their cousins, and being spoiled. They explored the cabin, rocks and lakes; made candy necklaces; painted treasure boxes; caught prizes in the fish pond; and just enjoyed being together.
