Pre-Halloween pics and others

Once again, we pulled out the play-doh for our October art project. It's not hard to find something to do in art, what is hard is finding the time. When we add art to our Monday schedule, it makes Mondays seem forever long!!!! We all made a pumpkin, but with an added flare.

Not really sure about this one.....;)

Mom's accidental skull pumpkin....really, it was an accident, haha.

Last year, I waited to late to get costumes, so we did the homemade thing. I decided to try to buy costumes ahead of time this year. We have not officially celebrated Halloween here yet...with the trick or treating, but the boys were eager to try on their costumes. Jess is Flash, and Jamin is a Ninja.

This pic was taken at Ivy's baby dedication today (1o-25-07). The boys are almost taller than Ruthie and Ivy....just another couple of inches.

If you haven't heard our cat drama....Ellie has been booted outside. I am tired of cleaning up after her, and her hair is floating all over the house. We boarded her up in the back for two days. So she was outside, but not truly "outside" roaming the neighborhood...until today. Here is Jamin holding on to Ellie before she ventures into the unknown;)

"A whole new world......."...Can't you hear the song in your head.

Ellie feeling grass for the first time since she has been with us.....2 yrs now. By the way, our fear was that she would leave and not come back. We are proud to say that she is sleeping under the garage at this moment. Free to come and go....and still she has come back...woohoo!! Jamin is happy!
