Scared Dog

Our dog, Maggie... ...has been so skittish lately.

Do you think this might have anything to do with it? I guess it is a possibility... :)

A Budding Artist

This girl...

Loves to draw and is getting pretty good....
What do you think?

Dog Sled...

Texas style!

Are we there yet?

We've had lots of company the past couple months. In fact we've had someone staying at our house 26 out of the last 60 days. Throw in 3 birthdays, 2 b-day parties, 3 day trips to Dallas, 1 funeral, 1 Halloween party, and Halloween in the mix and you'll understand why we're exhausted!!! :) Not to mention, we've not been eating as healthy as "normal" and are feelin' that too! It's been fun, but we're ready to do nothing for awhile...

want to join us?

Yoga Class

It's always fun when Grandpa & Grandma come...

When Grandpa & Grandma come, Hurray!!! They always say the kindest things, and in the kindest way....

They have a wrinkly, twinkly smile... They're jolly all the day.... It's always fun for everyone when Grandpa & Grandma come! *words taken from and sung to the tune of "When Grandpa Comes" by Marian Major

Grandpa & Grandma McDougall have decided to rent a house in a nearby retirement community for the months of December and January! We are excited that we will be able to see them as much as we want! Hurray!

Happy Halloween

My parents have been visiting for the past week and got to spend Halloween with us! We loved having them here!

I dressed up as a crossing guard...

The kids dressed up as...

1/2 devil, 1/2 angel

a Football player... and witch!
My parents passed out the candy and my dad scared a few kiddos with his mask!
And the best part...coming home to count the loot!
Enough said! :)

Mis-Match

It was Mis-Match Day at the middle school today...

and you thought she'd inherited Dave's sense of style! :)

Halloween Party

Today we had a Halloween Party for Lauren and her friends.

As the guests arrived they had to guess how many candies were in the jar (the winner got to keep the jar)...

We played "pass the pumpkin"...

"wrap the mummy"...

and did several Halloween crafts...Taylor did the face painting...

She even managed to paint her own!

Painting pumpkins was a hit!

And of course, there were cupcakes...

It was SO much fun!!!
