Just the way we like him! :)

I happened to come upon this little scene a few months ago and snapped a picture (and never posted it!) What other little boy do you know who falls asleep on a half inflated bouncy house with a can opener in his hand? Hmmm....

More Garage Progress

It's finally starting to look like a ROOM! We've got most of the insulation up and the walls built.

Last night we pulled out the washer and dryer to see what fun things we could find! We knew that the plaster at the bottom was falling apart and that there was some mold behind it, so it wasn't too much of a surprise to see this.

We've decided to take part of the plaster down and just replace it with sheetrock to clean it up a bit. I'm hoping that we won't find anything that requires MORE work! :) We have one more wall to build in this area that will be behind the washer and dryer to enclose the water and oil pipes - then comes the ceiling!

We had hoped to get so much more done this week - but Ryan and Megan had other plans. It's very frustrating, but that's the way it is.

From Megan's Viewpoint

Megan is a little sneak. She's always found with things that she KNOWS she shouldn't have. One is the camera. Even though we put it away, she always seems to find it and start snapping pictures! (Good thing they are digital!)

I was going to delete the pictures she took one day when I noticed that these pictures were what SHE saw from her level! I can't delete them now...rather I've put them into a slide show so that you can see what she sees. It's pretty interesting! (And maybe a little incriminating too!) Enjoy!

Please mom...no more pictures!

I had to post this one separately... too funny!

Happy Halloween!

Halloween 2009! The kids are still young enough that I can pretty much dress them the way I want to. :)

This year, Ryan was a magician and Megan was the bunny he pulled out of his hat. SO CUTE! Here are a couple of pictures, we did have one taken, which is currently at Ryan's preschool. When we get that one back, I'll add it to this post.

Megan wasn't too sure about trick or treating, but she got the hang of it pretty quick and had a ball at the Trunk or Treat at the Church and going around the block with Dad. (Would you believe we still have candy left today? I sealed most of it up in jars to put away for later. LOVE my jar sealer!)

Fall Leaves in Our Back Yard

Before time slips completely away...I've got to catch up here! We've been WAY too busy, and it's time to slow down a little bit. Between my Stampin' Up! events, FOUR New England Tech Classes, Church, the Post Office, the garage and the KIDS, we're just plain exhausted!

Anyway....

We've had to rake our back yard about three times this year. Not only because of OUR trees, but our neighbor behind us has a HUGE oak tree that seems to only drop it's leaves in OUR yard!

There's no way we can bag it all up without spending a fortune on the leaf bags, so we just dump them all into the trailer and haul it off to the Warwick city compost pile. This picture was taken on one of those leaf raking days - and one of the 3 or 4 trips we had to take to the dump! :)

Look at those two blondies!

Oh...and here's the official "leaf jumping of 2009" video:
