Pumpkin Picking

Collection Table

So my girls love to collect, collect, collect. All of the "stuff" usually ends up in piles throughout the house forgotten until somebody steps on it and it becomes just another mess to clean up. In order to appreciate all of our wonderful collections I decided to set up a nature table just outside of our back door. This is a place the girls can arrange and rearrange all of their treasures for everyone to see and admire.

Abigale hard at work making sure everything is in just the right place.

Coco Turns 3

It is hard to believe but our little Coco Loco has turned 3. We had a wonderful time celebrating at her school, in our backyard with a small party, and up in Applehill with just the 4 of us.

Pinata time

This was right before Coco burned her lip trying to blow out the last candle

Enjoying the cake

Coco was great about sharing her presents with Abi. Here are the girls enjoying two new dolls.

We spent the afternoon of Coco's Birthday up at Apple Hill. Yummy apples, beautiful weather and no weekend crowds!

Boo Packages

Abi and I made these fun Boo Packages for our friends out of recycled grocery bags. We were quite happy with how they turned out.

Each Halloween Season we have a tradition with our nieghbors. We "Boo" each other with little holiday suprises and try our best not to let them know who did it. Here are the girls ready to head out into the night to do some "Booing". They thought it would be a good idea to dress all in black so they would blend in withthe night sky.

Farm Fresh To You

Our box of Farm Fresh To You produce arrived today. Every other week we will be getting an amazing box of organic fruits and veges delivered to our house from a local Northern California farm. I'm hoping this will inspire me to add a little variety to my cooking. Plus it's nice to know it is food grown right here and stuff that is in season. We also get to take little visits to the farm throughout the year with the kids :)

Where are the tomatoes?

Our tomato plants are producing the last fruit of the season and the girls want to make sure to get every last one. Earlier today Coco was busy picking some tomatoes for today's lunch. For the longest time she wouldn't tell me where she actually put them after she brought them into the house. I finally found them while picking toys up off of the family room floor.
