Go figure the night I decide to play with Miss Essie’s hair she gets sick! She’s medicated and sleeping now, as you can tell from the picture. As I took a picture of Es with the rollers in her hair Vin said, “Mom, mom, mom, take a picture of me being still.” Too bad Daddy and Teagan missed out on the fun-just a few more weeks of theatre rehearsals left before the big night!
So this weekend was filled with leaves, many, many leaves. We raked, blew and burned the whole lot of them after the token jump or two! Teagan also made a bit of noise which I’m sure the neighbors loved.
And this is what happens when the kids get a hold of the camera. The first three are from Vin and the bottom is all Teagan.
So here is a funny story, I get home today and look at the pile of mail and I get hit with, “Who is this from?” I got my two penpal letters in the mail today and they added surprises (What a loser I am I wish I had added trinkets to mine!) but what got his attention was that one of them was from a town in Idaho where Nate had applied for a job. What a coincidence huh!lol Anyhow, if you have an hour to spare check out swap-bot and get your own penpals!
I’m semi-proud of this new crocheting feat of mine. Of course I did manage to mess it up but Nate kindly said he didn’t notice until I pointed it out. So I suppose I’ll try not to point it out.
As you can plainly see Miss Essie was our purple princess this year. Mom actually found this costume at Cracker Barrel and Charles wouldn’t let her pass it up!
Vin was a ninja…don’t worry you know we had a safety belt on him before he left the house.
Teagan didn’t dress up this year, he’s too cool for that. Instead he stayed inside the house watching “Halloween” for the first time by himself! Now he won’t shut up about Michael.
This is a totally random picture of the spotted salamander Nate found under wet leaves in the driveway the other day.
These are the t-shirts I ordered from Farm Aid. I’m a little bummed their REALLY big in the armpit area, which you can really tell on this brown one, and I just think that makes t-shirts look icky. Here’s to hoping they shrink just a smidge.
So Nate is pretty much done with the downstairs bathroom. I wish I could find the before picture. Let’s just say besides having a crappy shower and a horrible toilet it was concrete walls and framing. There wasn’t even a ceiling in the room. Now look at it. He did good :)
We’re going to put a chair in there and the wardrobe from upstairs and you know me. I’ll have pictures hung up in no time! Nate’s working on getting the mirror hung up now.
