and unfortunately, one got left behind...

he's cute, eh?

and the boys had to watch him while they ate breakfast

just so you know

i ate some cake yesterday. and it was mine. and it was good.

i'm 34. thank you very much.

no need to be jealous

just because fall is so awesome in my yard. you can come over any time.

oh so crafty

my latest addiction

cuddly and cute?

these cute little cuddly guys have been tearing up our lawn since the day it was laid. tonight they came UP TO OUR BACK DOOR and begged. they didn't even run off until midgie barked (yes, midge was over for family night.) and thank goodness she did! gannah was about to invite them inside for tea and crumpets. and we have all seen elf...so we know what raccoons do to people who try to show them love.

rainy and wet field trip

ah, the field trip to the pumpkin patch. i love the schilter farm patch! but somehow, it seems to rain every year.


now everyone line up by the barn to wait for the hayride.

just like a good mom, i let isla brave the rain first






what do you think about this one? too small?


and in the end, she brought home this little prize.

i love you

i don't know who loves the other more
