here's our fall in some unedited straight-out-of-camera pictures.
hopefully i can stay caught up next year!
let's start with our picnic in the mountains. it was absolutely beautiful!
carvin' pumpkin's. it was so warm this year that we kept it ghetto-style and did them in the garage.
onto halloween. elli wanted to wear the dorothy costume that miss wore a couple of years ago. i'm pretty sure she just wanted to wear the red sparkly shoes and didn't care who she had to be to do it. miss was a "zombie doctor", sawyer was a motorcycle dude thanks to the amazing brand-new leather jacket i found for $5 at the d.i. and the $1 mustache from wal-mart and baby jake got to be an angel since it was the only costume i had that fit him.
i put my minions to work raking the leaves.
miss got a buy one get one free coupon to jungle jim's from school so i let her invite a friend and we took them for her birthday. i didn't realize how cheap that place was and the kids had TONS of fun!
and just some random photos from the last few months.
first snow of the year...
playing on the computer
caught miss reading to elli and her friends
wish me luck on my blogging skillz for next year!
