Piano Recital

Katie had her second piano recital earlier this week. I think she did a pretty good job!

I've had sprinkles for 2 months...

I've been just dying to use these cute Halloween sprinkles I've had for so long. It was so rainy and yucky out yesterday I pulled them out and decided it was high time to bake some cookies!

It's about time!

That I updated my blog :)
Today we went on a field trip to Greenbluff with Sammy's preschool. Very fun and a bit chilly! We got an apple, some cider and a somewhat squishy pumpkin. Here are some pics...







AND Katie joined cross country...







Whew! That was a lot of updating. See you in a couple of months :)

Apples!

Can you guess what we did today? I know it's hard to tell by my very clever titles :)
I can be tricky. One of our favorite things to pick at Greenbluff is apples. Mostly because they are big, easy to grab and low so the kids can reach them. Here we are...


Cute obligatory picture under the apple tree :)


I'm not sure what he saw, but he looks a little worried doesn't he?


This was the favorite photo worthy apple. I'm not sure what made it special, but here it is! If you take a look at Sammy there in the background.....that is him pushing the apples down as hard as he can to make room for more. Don't I have a thoughtful boy? (I'm pretty sure they all survived :) )



This one is just because I really liked this picture of Katie :)

I've gone Little House on the Praire

Look at this....I've made soap. MADE SOAP! I can't remember what posessed me to do this, but I'll admit it was kinda fun :) If I did this, then what's next? Matching denim jumpers for the kids? Home made yogurt? Oh wait, we did that too! The yogurt, not the jumpers! I've gone mad and I love it. Home made soap anyone?

Cannon Beach!

Here are just a few of our pictures from Cannon Beach, one of our favorite places ever! More to come later :)
