Chilly weekend outside means shaving cream and food coloring inside..... Mmmm squishy.

We don't have this one in digital form ... so a picture of a picture will do. Hard copies coming to grandparents' mailboxes soon.

anticipation

It takes so long to get dark on Halloween night!

moo....yee haw!

Our neighborhood Halloween parade was yesterday so we got our cow and cowgirl all gussied up and had a good time checking out all the other cool costumes and seeing many friends there. Nate loved having a tail. And they'll get to get dressed up again on real Halloween!

Watch out world! (In particular anyone walking on our sidewalk...)

dressed for success

Off to the grocery store on a chilly Sunday morning .... Nate wanted to wear this "life jacket".

PS - Abby learned how to tie her shoes!  And she got her six year molars (we weren't expecting those...but were reassured by Dr. Google that they are perfectly normal).

happy day dee dee!

We just got off the phone with the birthday girl Dee Dee ... Happy Day to you!! We love you. (Abby was in a more cooperative camera mood this evening...with her new hairstyle from today.)
