Buddy's Back

Our elf is back on his shelf and up to all kinds of mischief. He welcomed us on the first day of December with a few trinkets and breakfast. Can't wait to see the new hiding places he finds this year!

You better watch out...

Getting ready for the big day....

Thanksgiving has come and gone! That was fast. Our sweet friends the Teachs came to visit us in Tucson. Their visit was fast and furious but always filled with lots of fun and laughs (and maybe a few melt downs too.) We had a great turkey day. Yummy food. So much to be thankful for.

These were the only pics of their visit. The kiddos running around at sunset waiting for the turkey to be served. I guess that means we had SO much fun right? Too busy to even get the camera out!

Look at these turkeys.

Fall Rain

We woke up to rain and cooler weather last week. What a treat! It was SO chilly though. So chilly we needed our winter gear. We busted out the big guns....hooded sweatshirts and rain boots.

Apparently it wasn't chilly enough to put pants on though...

Happy Halloween!

Saturday night we kicked off the Halloween festivities with our annual play group party. It was a great time with yummy food, fun games and awesome friends. Here are some pics from the night.

Mom the butterfly and Dad as...who knows. He is a crazy guy.

So I guess this is a SNL skit from a long time ago? The 90's? Whatever that means. For those of you who know...Patrick Swayze and Chris Farley as Chippendales. There is a lot of adult stuff I don't understand but they were pretty funny. Even the kids laughed at them!

Me hitting the pinata. I got the opening swing! C-A-N-D-Y!

Some shots from the night. Great friends and great fun!

Crazy Hair Day

Look at my do! Crazy hair day at school. C.R.A.Z.Y.

Seeds

While Daddo carved, we roasted. Who knew that goo could be so good.

Yumm-o.

Carving

We carved our pumpkins on Thursday night. This took a little longer than we had planned. Who knew the Dremmel would add time to the process? After we cleaned them out Daddo took over the artistic process. We ate, showered, read stories and finally went to bed before they were done. Whew. But we did wake up to some great faces and even better ones lit up!

Now the work begins!

Such detail....

Ta-Da! The final product! An angry bird and a little kitty.

Sneak peek

A little sneak peak of what is to come on Halloween night. Do you know what we are going to be?

Trick or Treat!

Pumpkin Picking Time

We went to pick out some pumpkins for carving today. What a selection! Big, little, medium, green, white...the list could go on and on. I think we did an exceptional job this year in picking out the perfect ones. What do you think?

Discussing the options

A good one for daddo

Ugh. When are my bangs ever going to be long enough to stay out of my face! (That is actually a quote from mom. I frankly don't care.)

Our picks!
