I was tired . . .

sooooo tired . . . sleepy, worthless tired . . .

so I went for a walk.

I really wanted to wake up . . . so I took the two littlest honyocks with me.

I walked . . . .

They ran . . .

I walked . . .

They waited for me to walk faster . . .

. . . trust me . . . I only "walk faster" . . . you don't want to see me run.


I walked . . .

They talked . . .
"Mom, I don't want to live in an apartment because they don't have a downstairs - in case a tornado comes."
"Mom, (insert friend's name) basement is . . . AWESOME . . . "

"Mom, how does the mailman know which house to bring the mail to? Does the envelope say 'the white house with the garage and bushes'? "


"Mom, is Elaine 'kind of' our cousin? It just doesn't make sense because Aunt Ruth isn't your sister."


I walked . . .

They played . . .

I walked . . .

They read . . ."Mom, I think it's a bad word . . . B .. u .. tt .. head . . . or something . . ."

. . . . and then I told them what it REALLY said . . .

I walked . . .

We saw . . .



All heading Northwest. Did someone change the migration rules recently or is this just another effect of global warming?



I walked . . .

and I woke up . . .

I love fall.

Happy November . . .

I love fall . . .




. . . especially when it feels like summer . . .

Here are a few fun memories of our week with Buff's family.

Carra wants me to inform everyone that she has officially lost 2 teeth now. I am hoping I don't have to post about every tooth lost. . . Actually, Mikayla lost a molar too this week (Do you get the feeling that the theme this week was "teeth" . . .). Because hers had a filling in it, we are making her dress up in a tooth fairy costume and leave money under our pillow. I am not a sentimental person big on traditions, but I think this may be a good reason to start.

Brice and Mikayla are now officially old enough to learn to drive . . . the 4 -wheeler and go-kart. Of course, they were never allowed to take it out of first gear, so they never went fast enough to get into too much trouble.


Owen is officially old enough to drive Pansy . . . and without a "seat" too . . .

Buff . . . alo
Yes, we took this picture.
He was an impressive fella.

Byren
He is so photogenic . . .

Owen . . . or is that a scarecrow?

So which one is the pumpkin?

Mikayla and her green pumpkin . . .

If only I could have gotten him to smile,
they would have been twins!

This is the scarecrow Buff built . . .

This is the kid that Buff built . . .
