It feels like fall!

It was 44 degrees this morning and we have a frost advisory. At least for the first time, we've grown a pumpkin that is bigger than 2 inches in diameter. We'd say this one is a good 6 inches! the only problem we have is that it is more yellow than orange. Here it is. We call it "baby". Its next to her mama, whom we purchased at meijer.

fun weekend

Can you guess what this is a picture of?






















Its the girls playing on the swings at midnight! That was a new experience for us, too! Ive never been to a playground at midnight before! We went to the ND - Purdue football game this weekend (at purdue) and our car was parked next to "squirrel park" which has a nice playground in it. So, when we finally made it back to the car after the game it was 12:01 and the girls wanted to play. Why not! What fun! They had been so good at the game, and were super excited that they stayed up "till the next day!"

Here is Frankie with the Leprechaun. As you can see our seats were right down by the field. We were in the endzone, so the view of the last touchdown was awesome!


PS. For a funny laugh, Bee wrote a book this afternoon about her travels, and she wrote it all by herself!! When I read it, i noted that she spelled "Purdoo". Perfect!

they are falling fast and furious...

... I suppose that title could reference alot of things these days ... but really Im just referring to Cho Cho's teeth. She's lost two more molars. The big dog teeth need to start growing in or she is going to need dentures!!

Our puffball

I dont know what to say. It must have been in a place in the yard that doesnt have much of what it needs. Its not grown more than the size of a softball - maybe a hair larger. Our other ones have grown to the size of soccer ball, which is more typical. Nows its turning a tad yellow which means its past its prime. Dwarf puffer i guess. pics to follow!

and the winner is...

Bee! Her tooth fell out at about 4 in the afternoon, to be followed shortly by Cho Chos falling out about 5pm. Busy night for the tooth fairy!

Tooth fairy came again!

Guess what she left? A dog biscuit! ha ha. Cho Cho lost her first baby tooth!! The race is on to see who will lose their next tooth. Both Bee and Cho Cho have loose teeth! Lets just pray its neither Scott nor me. ha ha. Bee and I just tried to take a picture of Cho Cho's missing tooth, but she wouldnt let us. So, we got this snap shot of Bee wiggling her wiggly tooth!

the mystery continues

Our little golfball size puff ball is gone!! So here is our baseball turned softball size puff ball. Well, it seemed to grow just a tad, not that much really. Im wondering if it will get as big as a soccer ball or if this one is dwarfed. Maybe Im just impatient. They seem to pop up over night, except when you are watching it grow. In the mean time, I found a recipe for puffball pizza!!
