Boo at the Zoo!

We went to Boo at the Zoo this past weekend and had a blast. The girls decided to dress up at Thing 1 and Thing 2 this year. I will be painting their faces white for Halloween! I think their hair is bigger than they are!

Skittles the Cat!

We found this cat on our front porch one night, near death from starvation....knowing me, I had to keep the cat and try and save it. It bounced back rather quickly and became the love of my kids's lives! The kids named her skittles. We were going to keep her, but the longer the litter box was in the house, the less I enjoyed having the cat. Sadly to say we don't have skittles any more but she has a new wonderful home with people that love her very much. Now the kids want another cat or dog!!!!! Go figure!

Pumpkins!!

Grandma and Papa got the kids a pumpkin for Halloween and they decided that they wanted to paint them this year! (which was the best idea I have ever heard since no one in my family but me will clean out the pumpkins. I guess they are afraid of getting dirty!!) They are now being displayed on our front porch!!

1st Day of Ballet!

The same week she started school, she started ballet classes also! She loves it and can't wait to stand on her toes!! This day they got to wear crowns and be princesses!!

1st Day of School!!

Hannah has finally started school. This picture was her very first day! I can't believe how fast they grow! She absolutely loves school and can't wait to tell me about her day when sister and I pick her up!

Obviously, I am very behind on keeping my blog updated! This was our last summer camping trip. We went to Hells Canyon and then drove into Wallowa Lake for the day. The
kids had a blast. We all went on the gondola and were feeding the chipmunks and squirrels right out of our hands!!! I am suprised the kids didn't want to take them home with them!! Next year we are going to camp there so they will have more time with the animals (especially the deer that live in the camp ground!)
