Shoot!!!!

I was just going to upload photos from the nature walk that Mom and I took with Emma, and of our Halloween evening at the Sloan's. However, I just realized that I took my card to Fred Meyers to print pictures, rather than downloading them to Costco. Then, like an numbskull, I deleted them all! I'm so bummed. I love technology, but sometimes you just gotta be smarter than the average box of rocks...

Dee Anne's Costume Party

Did you know that zebras climbed trees?

Jill with the cutest Pebbles and Ladybug!

All of the kids, with Dee Anne and Jill

Aislyn joining in the trick-or-treating fun.

You gotta be inventive when the bag is as big as you!

Dee Anne set up indoor trick-or-treating for the kids. Such a great idea! Here's Twila handing out her treat.

The kids got to pick any pumpkin in the house, decorate it with face stickers and then take the

pumpkin home.

Wyatt

Thanks, Dee Anne, for a wonderful party!!!!

I think that these two might be life-long friends.

Dee Anne and Barb had the house decorated to nicely! The food and decorations were perfect

for the 3- and 4-year-olds!

Boo at the Zoo

Dear friends from the Ontario and Boise fields joined us for our first trip to Boo at the Zoo.

We were told that they were limiting the admissions to 13, 000, due to the new African exhibit. The kids had a great time, but the adults found it a bit crowded. Emma and Wyatt had a close encounter with a Komodo Dragon.

The boys' favorite attaction was watching the bees and ladybugs on the flowers.

The lion apparently did not get the memo that he was supposed to be strutting around roaring. Maybe next time...

The giraffes are still a little shy, but it's fun to see such little ones!

Today's project

Mom and I found the pattern for this Cupcake Pin Cushion at Craft Warehouse. It's very easy to make and takes very little fabric. With two coordinating fat quarters, I'm guessing that you could probably make 10-15 of them.
