Halloween 2009

We had a good time going trick-or-treating with our little ones this year.  The weather was nice, and we were able to visit many neighbors as well as David’s teacher and some people from church.  Here you see our Scaredy Cat, Little Pumpkin, and Fairy Princess Ballerina.  Their treat buckets were quite full by the end of the night!

We also enjoyed carving our pumpkins this year.  Sarah was the only one who got to pick a pumpkin right from the local patch this year because of the early freeze.  David did get to choose one that had been in the patch and was for sale at the library.  Michael and Mommy carved some from Grandma and Grandpa’s garden.  David used a pattern for his kitty pumpkin, but the rest were figured out by hand. 

A Poem

 

Tonight, David wanted me to carry him like a baby.  He thought it was pretty funny that I couldn’t do it very well.  He was inspired to write a poem:

I’m so heavy

I’m so tall

I’m so strong

I can break a wall--

of blocks, of blocks,

of blocks today;

of blocks, of blocks,

so you can play!

By David, age 7

Testing the new tools

We’re just testing to see if a new program will work the way it says.

Maybe this will help with our layout woes

We’ll see!
