It's fall and we love it!


We are really enjoying our new Neighborhood. Unlike our house in Ohio we live on a very quiet street. So quiet in fact that I can let the boys out to ride their bikes up and down the sidewalk without experiencing heart palpitations. They just love playing out and even this morning when it was 40 degrees out they still wanted to play. Here they are with roses in their cheeks. I love those little guys so much. Now I just have to worry about their fascination with the blow-up pumpkin man thingy the neighbors have in their front yard. No matter where you are, you still find people willing to spend money on these expensive monstrosities?????? Not my cup of tea. I just don't understand it!

Spencer the ladybug??

Today I had run out of Spencer's favorite lunchmeat for his lunch. I decided to just sneak in a cheese sandwich and hope that he wouldn't notice. Silly me. After one bite came the hysterics. While I can reason with Leia about these things, Spencer is not quite there yet. The fact that I had run out unintentionally didn't move him. So I told him that if he didn't eat the sandwich then instead of the Power Ranger costume he has told me he wants for Halloween I'd buy him a Ladybug costume and make him wear it for Trick or Treating. I can tell you I've never seen him eat a sandwich quite so fast before.
