friday

we made it...

Things seem so crazy just to take a minute to grab the camera seems out of the question. And lets be honest the "Holiday busy" hasn't really started. Here's hoping I get it together soon.

hide

Kate had to disguise her turkey so it wouldn't be eaten on Thanksgiving.

if you take a step back and squint you can see the peacock!

actually I was impressed with her idea, and I think it turned out cute.  For the record I did all the cutting but she did all the gluing.  Look how they all pretty much match, I think we have a professional crafter in our mix.  Hayli accused me of doing it for her, I did not.

Halloween

Another great Halloween under our belts, Hayli loved running around with her friends even if I did make her keep watch on Kate while she was doing it!

The Mays and my parents came for dinner, and they brought the dinner!  Thanks Sabra!

Hot chocolate for the Trick or Treaters.

The weather could not have been more perfect, the neighbors were out and about,

ghost, goblins,princesses,and more!

Halloween, check...Time to Deck the Halls!

carving

We waited till Sunday morning to carve pumpkins so Dad could help.

We tried one of those handy pattern books this time...

maybe a little easier, maybe a little harder...

Can't wait to see them in lights to see if you can really tell what they are.

Hayli mostly did hers by herself this time, til it got "complicated"  (Her favorite word right now.)  Left only a few for Casey and I to do, way to go Hay.

glue gun

Ever since the diorama, she is a professional at the glue gun,

Mr. drama teacher has one on his door,

now she does too.

wood badge

We were trying to get the summer clean-up done in the back yard...

When look who came home!  Our professional scouter!

Hayli had to make a diorama.

Yes, she is quite proud.  and Man we are glad to be done.
