Happy Belated Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving is over and done and I have to say I am thankful for that! It means that the Christmas holiday is around the corner... and I *love* Christmas!

We had lots of yummy food which we shared with some friends and a good time. Now, we have leftovers... I am thankful for that too!

Here are some photos of my "turkeys"... (with a fun little project we made on Wednesday to occupy our time!)

Halloween!

I know you are eager to see my ghouls and ghosts (which were really one tired boy who would not tolerate a costume, one Strawberry Fairy Princess, one Midnight Fairy and one Mixed up Angel)

But first, you will want to see the fruits of our Pumpkin Patch labors... The jack-o-laterns!

Half angel/half devil, quite fitting, don't you think?

Hope you had a Happy Halloween!

Pumpkin Time!

October is the time we make our yearly pilgrimage to the Pumpkin Patch!

We took some friends along this time for good measure (and to help us get out of the corn maze alive.. lol!). The corn was not as high and the sunflowers were not as healthy looking due to the lack of rain this summer, but it was still a good time!

Here we are:

October Events...

Fall,

My favorite season of the year! I so enjoy the cooler weather and the fun family Fall activities!

This year was no exception!

We started out with a family trip to the Montgomery Zoo! I was expecting to be disappointed, after having the privleged to visit the world famous San Diego Zoo so many times, but it was actually a nice zoo! Small, but nice. The animals are healthy and hearty and they were alert and wandering which made the kids happy!
