The Mayor has been bugging me to get these posted, so here they are.

I'm a bit behind in posting....

I have lots to post - i haven't had time and have a lot to share! First - and most recent, this past weekend. Trick-or-treating on Friday night - aren't these the cutest two witches you've ever seen??? I think so! And new big girl beds! Little Dude is super excited - you can't really tell in the picture, but she loves her bed and defends her "territory". Little Bit was also pretty excited about gettinga big girl bed not having her mattress on the floor any more. She didn't like that very much.

Family Pictures

We had the perfect day for pictures yesterday, well almost perfect. The sun created a few shadows that were hard to get around but we managed and these are just a few that we took. Thanks Em!

playing in the leaves

Every year we go to a friend's house and play in the leaves - this is such a fun tradition and the kids really look forward to it. This is the first year that Little Dude has let us bury her in the leaves.

The things she says..

Sunday we were sitting with some friends at church. During the Sacrament, Little Bit turned to my friend and said "there is no fork on the tray" - she was very serious and all matter -of-fact. My friend thought it was great. I have no idea why she come up with that little thought. I often wonder what goes on in her mind and how she arrives at certain conclusions...

New family member

We have a new member in our family, maybe you have one at your house. Her name is Not Me. I'm not sure when this lovely little person was invited to stay, but Not Me has decided to stay and is around often, too often. Not Me is a very busy person, water all over the hallway, toys all around, clothes on the floor and I'm sure there are other things I've yet to discover.

the pumpkins

Little Bit and I went to the pumpkin patch with a bunch of friends - I heard that there were 30ish kids there - all 2-4 years old. She had fun, wouldn't leave my side, but did pet the tiny horse they had there. In some ways I think pumpkin patches are over-rated, in the future I think we will just visit the farm down the road and pick our pumpkins there, they don't charge just for visiting their farm which is something I just don't understand. I think I could have bought 3 or 4 pumkins at the store for what we paid at the farm today. Although Little Dude's field trip to the pumpkin patch is twice what Little Bit's was. Oh well - it's all for the experience right?
