GO!

Grandma Judi starts back to work this upcoming Monday, November 17th! PTL she is feeling well & eager to start back into the swing of things. She recently had a gall stone attack but her Dr's feel it best not to do anything at this time, unless she has another attack.

Also, in a week we will be driving to Ohio for Thanksgiving, how quickly this month has already gone! We are all excited, Jasmine too! It'll be her first trip since her surgery, I have no doubt she'll do fine & relish all the attention she'll receive!

Shop Talk

True to my manly calling, I enjoy time spent with power tools in the garage!

The 18v drill is my tool of choice & I bring it in the house whenever I can get away with it.

"Goggles Off!"
Who you callin' mischievious?

Whoo loves you?

I Do! And I love owls too! I painted this in my art class at school.

I've taught Oscar how to say "I do!" amongst other new two-word phrases that he's repeating.

Horray for Halloween

Eek!

Mommy & I made oreo spiders for my class party.
And "Boo cups" with ghosts on top.

What we mostly saw Halloween Eve!

Emma & Eleanor, aka Ariel & TinkerBell

were so sweet holding hands & saying "Trick or Treat" together! These big sisters have got Halloween all figured out. We enjoyed yummy pumpkin muffins & hot chocolate afterwards with Emma's family, it is so wonderful to have friends in your neighborhood!

Inspecting all the loot...note that this is only about 1/3 of what they brought home! They were too efficient...Eleanor setting a fast pace & Oscar following and saying "Happy Halloween!"

All in a day's play!

Helping at the sink with breakfast dishes...he loves playing in the water! (aka: "wa-wa")
"Choo-choo!" Oscar is enjoying our new Thomas the Train tracks!
I say "our" b/c Eleanor loves it too! She is so excited to get some of the girl trains and has even been "helping" me look on ebay if you can believe it!

Our zoo's beautiful new train, Oscar & I took a ride. He wasn't as into it as I thought...maybe b/c it's smaller than the one at Busch Gardens? Could he be train spoiled already?

Off & runnin'!

Slowin' down to look at my favorite, the elephants!

Sleep sweet sleep.

He was so cute snuggling two stuffed animals!
