Last Year We had Swine Flu

Family Night was pumpkin carving complete with pumpkin bread and apple cider. The ladies thought it was JUST LIKE Rebecca Estelle from "Too Many Pumpkins", their favorite Halloween book. (Happy to oblige.)

-

The ladies each drew their pumpkin face on paper. Then Scott and I copied them onto the pumpkins for carving. Abe got a smiley face with two bottom teeth. Perfect.

Busted

The camera is broken.

When I take a picture, it has lines through it.

This is the only evidence I have

of how it may have hapenned.

The last good picture...

This is Funny

We learned something new Saturday.

Abe no likey rice cereal.

He made the same face from the first bite to the 5th.

Then we stopped and put him out of his misery.

-

Happy 7!

This beauty is 7 today!

She invited a few girls over for a tea-party on Saturday.

-

Macy, Audrey, Ella, Kylie, and Polly

-

We sure love her a lot!

New Trick

#2 in School

Last week, Polly was pleased as ever to start pre-school.

She told me this means she is definitely a big girl now.

I agree.

-

This is not my Polly who hates getting her picture taken.

She has a little of Macy in her after all.

Just a smidge.

-

This one's a keeper.

Macy doesn't normally wear her hair like "I Dream of Jeannie"

It's crazy hair day again.

-

And this one makes me melt into a puddle.

Slippery Slope

Finally!!!

Macy has waited for her first lost tooth for at least 2 years.

Thank you, hard-to-get-apart-legos for helping her tooth to pop out.

-

I feel like she is on a slippery slope.

First, all day school.

Then a lost tooth.

Next she will want an

ipod/cell phone/car/boyfriend/indpendence from me!
I cannot not have that.
