Punkman Carving

Our computer died, so I haven't been able to post anything. I am trying to catch up.



Kate picked her pumpkin pattern from some pictures on the internet. She wanted her "punkman" to be "mean" and "scary."





Sporting her best monster face.

I carved Kate's, put Kate to bed, carved my pumpkin, and watched 2 TV shows before John finished his creation.

Phone Girl

Kate loves to talk on the phone!

This is what she does the entire time she is talking. Hmm, I wonder where she gets it from. Maybe her crazy mom who can't ever sit still.

Halloween Festivities

All of the big Halloween bashes were this weekend. We went to the Goodyear City deal on Saturday night and Boo at the Zoo on Sunday.

Kate picked out all of our costumes this year. I am just glad she picked something easy. She was very particular about everything and guided me through the particulars of each character. I was so excited because I finally found a pair of glasses to wear and the first thing Kate said was, "Those are not Velma glasses. Velma has square glasses."

Goodyear Celebration

The city couldn't shoot their fireworks on the 4th because of the wind,so they did them for Halloween. It made my night because I pretty much missed all of the fireworks this summer. Jonas also loved them. Kate was afraid of the big booms.

Kate and Dadda (that is what Kate calls John lately) playing games for candy

They had a bunch of the big blow-up bounce houses and slides for the kids.

Kate went down what looked like the bigger scarier slide first and then went down the deceptively cute bum breaker slide.

The slide shot the poor little guys out several feet and then they would land with a giant thud on a poor excuse of a landing pad. Several rogue 8 year olds went right before Kate on their bellies. I am surprised they could even breathe after they hit.

Boo at the Zoo

This is Kate's lovely smile. She is in that stage every child goes through when they just try a little too hard when asked to smile.





Tryin' on Mom's glasses.

Poor Kate. Her legs are just a little too short. She had a good time anyway.

Kate's email

Kate now has her very own email address. We signed up for it so she could write to her friend Ella who she misses soooooo much. She would love letters from other people too.

Doing His Chores

I am really glad I bought a front loading washer. I didn't realize how handy it would become.
Now I just need to teach him to mop the kitchen floor after his mealtime messes.

Play Dough

Kate and I made play dough the other day. She had a blast.

This is what happens when Dad supervises Jonas playing with the dough. He licks it, gets it nice and gooey and then grinds it into his hair.

John's sports complex

John is loving his new job. Here is some info about it if you are interested.
