Target had their Halloween costumes at 75% off. I had Gabby pick up a few to add to my dress ups for the kids. Madi combined 3 costumes and came up with a "leopard fairy."

I love this store!!

Maureen November 4, 2009

Finished up collecting the Market Day pie orders today. Looks like we made about $500 for the PTO. Not bad money for sending out some order forms, collecting them, picking up some pies at the middle school, then distributing them at the elementary school...

Secret Colours at "the Empty Bottle"

Miranda November 4, 2009

I'm so excited for Christmas this year that I'm almost done shopping!

Allison November 4, 2009

When I don't bring my camera with me, I end up taking pictures of something in my dorm room. Here's my retired Halloween wig... next to the graham crackers.

Margie November 4, 2009

That's his red barn in the background, and my brown barn in the fore. Pretty soon those chickens will be coming in my front door. Any bets on how soon it will be before he is screaming at me and accusing me of stealing his chickens?

I worked at the book fair at the kids' school today.

James loves his train and he is actually playing with it like he is supposed to. I love watching him learn

Cole November 2, 2009

WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!
I figured out how to get in the window well and get out. So amazing right.

Maureen November 2, 2009

Annie's been finding old toys on the basement shelves and bringing them upstairs to play with them again. This was a bunch of little animal figurines & a zoo playset.

Marla November 2, 2009

I raked all of our leaves today. Then I got some help from Vaughn and Cole with the dragging them to the front yard part of the job.

Annie November 2, 2009

I built something that glows

I love his lil hat

Marla November 1, 2009

Cole and I finally played this board game that I picked up from a Freecycler. "Freecycle" is a free group that you can join...go to www.freecycle.org. You can posted a bulletin for something that you WANT or something that you want to OFFER (maybe you are no longer using something but it could be of use to someone else). There can be no exchange of money...hence the title "free"cycle.

Molly November 1, 2009

Celebrating Stephen's birthday!

Margie November 1, 2009

I spent the day transferring video tapes onto dvd's. Only problem is that I didn't get much else done. Every time I walked past the tv, I saw something interesting on the video tape and sat down to watch.

Maureen November 1, 2009

The time change combined with the h1n1 vaccine that she got this morning, lead to Annie falling asleep in the car at 6p, as we drove Allison back to campus tonight.

Allison November 1, 2009

My week on the hall's spotlight board!

Today we went with Grandpa trick or treating at the mall. Then we went back to my mom's house and I went around the neighborhood and went trick or treating with James. It was so cold out. James loved looking at all his candy. My mom and grandma were in the hospital because my grandma had pneumonia really bad.

Molly October 31, 2009


Happy Halloween!

Marla October 31, 2009





You saw Cole's costume a few days ago. Now here's the rest of us (I think this is probably the first year that all of us have dressed up). Vaughn and Amanda were Mario and Luigi (Amanda still needed to get her mustache). Eric and I were a cowgirl and a Packer fan. Dylan is Zia McCabe (yes, he's a girl) from the band "The Dandy Warhols".

Miranda October 31, 2009

Today was the daycare's Halloween Party. James had fun, and got lots of treats.

Marla October 30, 2009


Compare to my October 14th photo. I've gotten caught up on a lot of my chores at work.

Maureen October 30, 2009


I went in to help at the class parties, today. Shelby & Corey were both hobos. I'm not sure what that kid behind them was meant to be...

Molly October 30, 2009


This is what is left of the still warm, yummy peanut butter cookies one of my neighbors brought to us. These were gone moments after this picture.

Betty October 30, 2009


Apparently I only had enough of this yarn to make a hat and half a scarf... So, I ordered enough to finish the scarf and to make some mittens too. But since I had to pay extra postage to get it here in Nashville before we leave, I also ordered 3 new pattern books to make the extra postage worthwhile...

Allison October 30, 2009


Halloween Dance.

Margie October 30, 2009


On her way to Kindergarten for the Halloween party.

Miranda October 30, 2009


Oh...there might not be any candy left for the trick or treaters....
