Fall or Autumn and so much more

However you say it, I LOVE IT! I love the cold crisp air, the falling leaves and the pumpkins. I love pumpkins. Cinnamon smell in the air and all the lovely critters trying to get into my warm house. Tonight I saw a mouse in the den. I am totally frusterated. There are many joys of living in a OLD house but that is not one. We have had seriously every critter, creepy thing and flying thing that people dread. We have had (and apparently still have) mice, a bat, a squirrle in the chimney pipe (if I havent told you that story, it is a dang funny one... did you know squirrels bark when they are mad?) more mice, spiders galor, sweet ants (there is nothing sweet about them!) maybe a cockroach or two, stray cats in the garage, a racoon outside my window, a dove and pigeon living under a overhang that joyful woke us up everymorning and who can forget the abundant groundhogs that my husband is so distracted with. Enough complaining about the yuck things. I have PICTURES!

We had a "box" play date at the park. I brough a couple big boxes for Little K and her friends to play in. It wasnt a huge succes (as far as the interest in boxes goes) but a play date at the park is always fun! And this is her Cheese!







We had a little Pre Halloween trick or treat at Palmer. It was fun. There was a lot of people there so it was a bit confused and rushed. Little K was a trooper, she did so well. It was good practice for the other 25 halloween things we have going on the next 2 weeks.


Today, we made a cotton ball ghost. She tried to eat the cotton balls a couple times. Maybe she wasnt trying to eat them, maybes she was copying mom and wiping her face with them. She is really into copying me, she makes me laugh every day. She loves to read books and magazines (not baby books, mommy's books) And I didnt notice that I do it so much but I lick my fingure to change the page. Well she now licks her hand to turn the page in mommys books. So super cute. The other she is into right now is the phone. All day long she is walking around pretending to be on the phone (which could be a phone, the remote, a piece of paper) anything that she can hold up to her head. I let her talk to my parents on the phone and she paces aroound the room and talks and talk and talks and says nothing at all. I think she talked to my mom for 15 mins this morning. She cried when I took the phone away because she wasnt done talking....
Oh my it must be getting late because I am rambling like a rambler. Ok Ok Ok - GOod night!
