October 2009

We has such a wonderful October. The colors this year were awesome, and they stuck around all month. It was colder than normal, but hey you can't have it all right? Here are some random pics from this month.


These are some sugar cookies I made to celebrate the season.



Ty just learning to move and scoot.




Carving pumpkins with the cousins before Marie and Brian's joint birthday party.


Noel's pumpkin is the little one with the baby face... I helped. Ok so I did most of it. She didn't seems to have much interest. I had a blast.


Ty likes to sit with me while I cook. We had some little potatoes that grew out of our compost that he was playing with. He threw one and I couldn't figure out where in the world it went! Well, when I was switching over the laundry, I found a mighty clean baby potato in the washing machine.



Our tenants came into some money and decided they wanted Eric to take them up in a general aviation plane. So we flew out of Glens Falls, went to Burlington, had lunch, and few home. It was wonderful! It was the first whole day for both of us without either of our children (well since Ty was born). We missed them, but it was a nice break!

Marie, Noel and Ty on Halloween before dinner. We got our ideas from www.ourbestbites.com which our friend Kate and her friend Sarah started. It is totally awesome. We had Candy Corn Pizza (use mozzarella and cheddar to make it look like candy corn), and Mummy Dogs which were hot dogs wrapped in crescent rolls with mustard eyes. Anyway, Noel just looks so big to me in this picture.

Ty is so silly.


Noel went as Raggedy Ann. She was SOOO cute! I wish she'd smile at the camera for once. In this picture I had forgotten to draw on her triangle nose. I actually wore this costume (from a life size doll) when I was her age too.


HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!

Funny ha-has

So many of you wonderful ladies are good about posting funny things your kids say. I am not good at this but I want to be better.

So we have been trying the potty training thing without any success. I started cold turkey and ended up (Wendy you witnessed) MAJOR temper tantrums that stopped when I stopped with the pressure to pee-pee in the potty. Typical with Noel, she must decide she wants to and no one on this planet is going to force her otherwise.

Since then I rememind Noel almost daily that she can (she is able since she'll do it if she feel like she wants a treat) to pee-pee in the potty and wear big girl undies. Well this morning Eric said, "You know Noel, you really need to poo-poo and pee in the potty" to which she replied, "Me know dad! Mommy tells me that too." Like DUGH DAD where were you?! with typical Noel look that she's given since birth to people she finds to be reduiculas. Well, at least I know she knows.... :^)

So fun. Noel asked the other day if Kase and Marika could come over to play... I told her we'd take a trip to see them soon!

At the Falls

We had so much fun. It was such a treat to have our friends visit.








Our for a walk to the falls

On the way, the kids found a hill to roll down. Well, the girls kind of rolled...
Kind of twirl-scooted.
