Bree and Cate decided they wanted me to cut their hair short (at Adrianna’s encouragement.) They both gave me input as to the lengths they wanted. And here is Adrianna’s cut from September 23rd.

Carving Pumpkins
Greg helped the girls carve their pumpkins – a first for both of them, I think! Bree made her pumpkin an Eeyah and Cate made hers Bubbin (a made up pony.) They were a little grossed out to take out the innards, but they did it! And when they saw Greg starting to carve their […]
Trail Less Traveled By
While walking the trail near our house today, we took the advice of Robert Frost and “took the one less traveled by.” The girls and I (and Moose) enjoyed exploring and the beautiful foliage. “And that has made all the difference.â€
Annual Visit to the Pumpkin Patch
We made our annual visit to a local pumpkin patch. Adrianna was feeling a little sad about not being with friends this time, as the past couple of years we’ve visited with some of her friends. We chose a smaller pumpkin patch and went on a weekday in the hopes that it wouldn’t be too […]

Trouble Game Reimagined
The girls had a “Minnie Mouse Trouble Game” that came apart, so they recreated their own, called “Magical World Trouble.” (With their own rules, too, of course.)
Rescuers
Bree, Cate, and I were deciding on a movie to watch together. We landed on Rescuers, since they haven’t seen it yet. So as I was loading it up, I couldn’t resist singing “R-E-S-C-U-E. Rescue Aid Society…” when Bree made the comment, “We can listen to the song when we watch the movie.” Point taken.
Cooling off in Coal Creek
We decided to take the afternoon off from school to spend some time outdoors (in spite of the smoky haze from all the fires.) First, I had a bunch of plastic bags and styrofoam blocks that I needed to drop off at a local recycling place that takes hard-to-recycle items. And it was free to […]
