OH NO HELP!!

In Thing 1's kindergarten class they made a gingerbread man. AND GUESS WHAT?!! HE RAN AWAY! If all of you could keep your eyes out for him and then send a postcard to Thing 1's class telling them that you saw him that would be great! If you could let the class know where you saw him too that would be appreciated.
The address is
Mrs. Craven's Kindergarten Class
130 N. Eccles Ave
Ogden, UT 84404
Thanks for keeping a look out.

Fall time=Leaf time

Big bear hug from big sister to little sister.
This is a picture of Thing 1 trying to show the big snowflake on her eyelash. Can you see it? I actually can't but there are a few in her hair. They really were huge snowflakes that day.


We have two large dome willow trees in our backyard. Every year they wait till the end of Nov to start turning colors and to drop their leaves. Thing 1 looks forward to the large pile of leaves we have to rake every year. It is big enough adults can actually jump into it. B has; I haven't. These are pictures of the first of three raking sessions. It always amazes me how many leaves there are, especially since it drops lots of leaves ALL year long, but of course nothing like in the fall. Thing 1 and B raked these ones and then the kids played in them for a little bit. As soon as they had finished raking the leaves it started to snow

Halloween Fun

Thing 1 was Little Miss Muffett, she had a stick with a spider on it but decided not to take it trick or treating. Thing 2 was Ragedy Ann, but didn't wear her wig as we couldn't really get it to stay on her head. I have lots of pictures of Thing 2 but only this ONE of the two of them. We had a hard time getting Thing 1 to get ready to GO. She wanted to watch cartoons and B and I were confused as to why any child would rather sit inside and watch a dumb cartoon she has already seen as to go and get candy. Seriously what was up with that? The pictures of Thing 2 with the pumpkins also happens to be the only pictures I have of those. I kept forgetting to charge the camera battery and missed out on a lot of cute pictures.


I love the month of October. There is always so much fun stuff going on. I also love to decorate for Halloween. I don't go all out but every year we pick up a few more things after Halloween once they go on sale. This year the day after I out up our webs the wind made a huge mess of them and I just left them. I still enjoyed them though.
