No earthly idea what she was doing, but she sat like this for about 5 minutes.
Pfffffffft to you too, Jiffy.
Ha.
My Halloween-ish House
For many years, my Halloween decorations had their traditional places in my house–this one on the window sill and that one on the piano. You know how it works. Then life changed and we moved a ton–4 times in as many years. If I could even find the decorations–they went wherever they would fit and sometimes that meant leaving them in the storage tubs altogether.
But this October, it was pretty dang fun to sort through Halloween tubs and decide what was mine and what would be better off living somewhere else. One by one the decorations came out. As I unwrapped them, each thing seemed to know right where it belonged. This one on the window sill and that one on the book shelf.
Almost like they were just waiting to finally get to this cute little house and help make it truly…
mine.
Over Achievers
These little girlies have been working super hard these days.
These super duper jumbo eggs were all layed within a few days of each other. Now, you can’t really tell how big they are here. So I’ll help you.
The one on the right is a normal egg–the kind we get every day.
The magical part about these enormous eggs–aside from the how-the-heck-did-they-DO-that?!– is that when you crack them open…
they have double yokes!!
Soooo…the regular 3 egg omelet becomes a family event!
I have no idea who’s eggs they were, but they all seem to be walking just fine.
Hahaa. Nice going, girlies!
Autumn In My Own Yard
Autumn is my absolute favorite time of year, but sadly, it seems to go by in a flash.
I barely have time to see all the changes that are taking place right under my nose, never mind absorb them all.
Just as soon as I’m enjoying one lovely transformation of color…
another appears…
and another…
Oh, my goodness! How do people live without all of this gorgeous-ness?
What I wish, is that the actual season of Fall would last a full three months–with all those colors on the trees…
instead of appearing one day and floating to the ground the very next.
Or so it seems.
I suppose the only thing to do is to go outside and crunch around in it more. Perhaps a little each day–instead of sitting and watching it all from the window.
Yeah. I can do that.
Those Silly Spooks
Our sweet little Halloween party has evolved into an event of huge proportions. So much so that we have to meet at a place that is bigger than any of our houses are. Pretty fun to see that all those little spooks from years ago, are just great big even crazier spooks nowadays–with a whole new generation of littles coming right along behind.
Ooooh, I love these people.
