Well, Hello October!

So hard to believe it is October already!

Miss M has the countdown to

Thanksgiving and Christmas on

her iPhone and advises me daily 

on "how many days until . . ."

Yikes!  I already feel unprepared!
But, I'm reading about getting ready early
this year, so there's hope I will actually
be ready!

It's been forever since I posted anything about "The Littles."
So, it's about time, isn't it!

Catherine's brother got married in July and almost everyone was in the wedding!!

Oh my word, they are growing like weeds and
Jane and Walt are not so little!
Jane is in 2nd grade this year,
Walter in first grade,
Harry in preschool
and little Dorothy - 18 months old already!

They are such a joy and so hilarious!
Kids do say the darndest things -
Art Linkletter was right!

Such a fun swing!
Jane really works hard pushing
that swing for her brothers and sometimes
squeezing their adorable little heads together!

Well, Hello October!

Hello October!

Is is just me or does it seem like I was just greeting September?

I blinked and then the month was over!  

So long September!

Now that fall is fully underway,

we are enjoying all fall has to offer!

Especially gourds!

We used to dry and shellac them
 when I was young  --

voila,  a maracas or two or ten!

Kamree's friend Ava, Kamree and Maddy

Hayrack Rides!

Fun times with 

Jodee and Kamree last weekend!

And fall means church festivals!

We joined Philip and Catherine for a quick visit to one nearby.
Sadly, Maddy was too big for the train,
 Harry was too little, but
Janie and Walt were just right!

We are hoping to get a visit in to the pumpkin patch soon!

Looking back -- October, 2011 pumpkin patch!

Wacky World Wednesday!

Yes, it's a wacky world when we have snow in October!!
