Turkey Day Comes Early

Sara made this headband at Mother's Day Out on Friday.

Her teacher, Ms. Diane, said she was the only one to wear it for a long time. Sara was so excited for me to see her in it!

Pumpkin Carving Party

We were invited to a party to carve our jack-o-lanterns. We had fun getting messy and carving (not so) scary faces!

Daddy has a little help from Miss I-Can-Do-It-Myself (oh man, are we in trouble!).

Jacob is into making faces when I try to take his picture. This one is titled "Apathy".

Pumpkin Patch

Market Street

My kids love playing in the fountain at Market Street in The Woodlands. This day was unplanned so my children had nothing to change into after getting wet. Sara and Jacob didn't mind riding home in their skivvies, though.

For you who live north of us...I know! It's October and children are running around outside half dressed! And wet!!

Windrose Lake

We have a small lake (pond?) well within walking distance from our house. Joel took the kids one day near sundown. They got to play with the ducks and throw rocks into the water. Best of all, for me at least, was that Joel took some good photos of my kids while I was out of town.

Trick or Treat

This is how we trick or treat in style. Joel pulled the kids in the wagon
with his motorized cooler. They were the envy of the neighborhood.
Never has Spiderman or a ladybug had such a sweet ride.

Off to the grandparents!

As soon as Hobby Airport was up and running, we took off for Indiana. Sara hadn't flown since she was an infant. I was glad to have Joel there to be able to chase her and also keep an eye on Jacob.



Look-My carry-ons will fit nicely into the overhead bin!
