Feelin' better

We had a TERRIBLE week last week. I don't think it was full-blown H1N1, but Grace ran a low-grade fever for a week straight, Annie had unexplainable spots and they both had yucky croupy sounding coughs when they laid down for bed, which 4 out of 5 nights resulted in puking episodes. Blech.

Thankfully that is over and we are on to celebrating Fall and of course, Halloween to be followed by Grace's birthday. Wow - and then, Thanksgiving and then Christmas - yikes! It feels like November and December are going to fly.

Yesterday we got the girls doing a little bit of raking...

Grace did well, but Annie, for some reason, was very into her nose. All my pics are of her doing this! ha ha ha

Then we carved up our pumpkins after dinner.

Grace got right in there with her hands - I was actually quite surprised!

My job was mainly to keep this one away from the knives...no easy feat! I took her picture and then distracted her with the camera. Bwah-ha-ha!

Not sure what she's confused about here...actually, I think she caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror. She's going through a VAIN phase. (I hope it's a phase anyway! :P )

Only happy punkins for us! The one on the left is just a happy face, the one in the middle is actually a very good replication of Dora the Explorer - minus the hair. You just have to get the right perspective. Took me a while and Clint had to explain that the circle was her face and neck - not her mouth and then it came in for me! One more to go tonight...
