Don't you wish you could use pan lids as shoes?

Twas the Night Before Christmas

Twas the night before Christmas

And all through the house

Not a creature was stirring

Larger than a Mouse

When what to our wondering eyes should appear

Another peanut suddenly was here

Pumpkins

Punpkins carved. Pumpkins alight. Pumpkins made in the dark of night.

Costumes

Ninja, Tech Pirate King, Cat and Kitten, Serape laden Papa.

Tied for First

Their first Rain gutter Regatta and they tied for first place. I suppose One received first and the other second, but because they were brothers the officials decided to forgo racing the two of them until one of them won. Both were undefeated except for once by the other. They were so happy with their boats, even before the races. They would try the boat in the water and come running back exclaiming how smooth it ran and how it slipped along the sides of the gutter, and then run back and try it out again. The best cheerleader in the crowd was their little sister, "boats, mark- get set -Goooo, here they come".

Where is the baby?

Where is the baby? I lost her somehow. This Lady is not a baby. Where did my baby go?

North Falls Hike

Little Bear came along too, my heart dropped to my stomach several times watching Little bear and his precious carrier explore, run and look over edges. Little Lady has great endurance, she walked or ran most of the way on her own. She wants to be as independent and free as her brothers. I love the ferns, moss and lichen. I think it is most beautiful when wet and rainy. Maybe not rainy, but right after the rain when the world is washed fresh again. The colors are brighter and the world feels alive.
