Stuck on the 31st

Fiona was many things this Halloween season (flower, Indian, elephant). What's not hilarious about dressing up little kids?

Shannon Beauchamp and Fiona Grace discovering other humans.

Trick or treating at dad's work, both convenient and dry. As an added bonus all the cubicle-candy-hander-outers had way too much candy and that is why I am welcoming late trick or treaters.

What happens when you invite a 3 and a 5 year old to pick out whatever they want from a drawer filled with candy? I wonder what face Ivan is making under his mask!


Peace in the Middle East.

Missed Out?

If you missed out on Friday, come on by and you can trick or treat anytime.

Fall Family Picture

I hope this isn't the last picture before Christmas, but at least Ivan is smiling in this picture!

Pumpkin Party

Ivan checking out the guts.

Madeline, the hard worker and big helper, was separating the seeds so we could bake them.

My parents and Deacon's parents came to enjoy with us.

Madelines-pretty standard, Ivan's-the pirate piranha, and mine the alien. There were others that are not looking so well at the time of the picture (it rained that night).

"Whatever Happened to Humpty Dumpty?"

If you have been wondering then I found your book. That is the title and the author is David T. Greenberg. I usually try to pick deliberately at the library, and I thought I was with this choice. My kids love Nursery Rhymes and this one looked unique. So we sat down before naps today and this is what I read,

Jack
Jack be nimble,
Jack be quick,
Jack jumped over the candlestick.

Jack be quick,
Jack be faster,
Jack be - oh, my gosh-disaster!

Jack tripped over the candlestick,
Caught fire in a flash.
Now all that's left of Jack
Is a little bit of ash*

They buried him in his socks.
He's now a jack-in-the-box.

While I can't recommend it (I skipped over some of the rhymes), it did give an unexpected chuckle. It even explains what happened to Humpty Dumpty on the last page of the book.
