YEAH EARLY BIRTHDAY!!!

Oh yeah! Bring on the cake!
What, no silverware? I'm not wholly uncivilized. My hands will get all dirty! Someone must serve me!!
Thank you Aunt Julie. The frosting will be sufficient....chop chop!

How To Explain This One

Okay so there actually IS an explanation to what you're seeing.
1. The Boots - I told Emma she could pick any boots in her size that she wanted not realizing that the store would have Barbie meets Sasquatch boots.
2. The shorts - From our dear friend who outfits our children. They were in the "give back to her" pile.
3. The pumpkins - Well it IS nearly Halloween. No matter that they're lit to be put outside and 9 am.


Oh and one more thing. It is an cold as it looks. I believe about 20 degrees. Give or take a degree.

Sometimes

Sometimes we enjoy the outdoors in a quiet, peaceful way. Sometimes we do this.
(I included the above picture just so you could appreciate the size of this off-road vehicle)

Leaves

I thought this would be really cool with all the leaves on the trampoline. I was a little disappointed that they didn't go everywhere, Emma however, was thrilled with the effect.
This really has been the most beautiful (weather wise) fall that I remember up here. I'm not sure what that means as far as precipitation this winter. We don't want rain. We DO want snow.

Help

I know Emma is hiding something on the table...

something she doesn't want me to have...

OHH! It's Pink it must be hers!!


SUCCESS!!

I didn't take the next picture, I was busy unburying Jack from the pink wreckage of a pony house he pulled down on top of himself.

Help us all when he can walk.
