We love to carve pumpkins. Jake is so creative every year. He did the apple computer symbol. And I got to do the kids with them.

We had a Spooktacular time at our Trunk or Treat. Lili is one of the pit crew for Lightning McQueen and Andrew still fit his PB pumpkin outfit from last year. It was so warm this year and we didn't have 1/2 as many trick or treaters as last year. Weird!?


As winter approaches, we are trying to find more fun indoors.


Pumpkin shopping.

Lili is our brave adventurist.


When it snows, we head for the hills.

Glass Blowing



Here are my 2 paper weights I made in an art blowing class. They look easy, but looks can be deceiving. The red and white stripes was originally going to be a candy dish, but it doesn't take much to mess it up. It was good learning experience, but I think I'll stick to my oil painting for now.

Both of my kids love worms and playing with them after the rain storms. So cute, gross and silly all at once. Lili likes to fill up the sink (I'm just glad it can't overflow) and she plays for up to an hour with her toys swimming around. She does get in trouble when the water gets all over the floor, but I try to encourage her creativeness, even if that means more messes for her and I to clean up together. I love these two little sweethearts.
