Another week goes by, nothing too exciting... the girls are getting geeked for Halloween and we're trying to enjoy the outdoors while we can.
Adventuring in a park
"Mama it didn't even have a playground!"
Buds
Just thinking
Jamie took the girls to do a ceramics project for my upcoming birthday as a big secret. Maggie is especially bad at keeping secrets, but so far she swears she was at the park the whole time hanging from the monkey bars!
My first thought - why the hell isn't there smock over her expensive
uniform jumper... I mean, aww so cute
Slap happy crazy girl
A few others:
Maggie's tallest tower yet
(and yes, that's U of M beating State in the background)
Llama head
Peeling carrots at Grandma's house
Hanging with some old coworkers from NTH... Jamie said he understood
almost nothing from our nerdy conversations
I love fall! We went to Yates this past weekend for cider, donuts, pony rides and "adventuring" as Maggie calls it. It was super fun!
Family selfie
Tastes like fall
Cinnamon and sugar are her favorite
Wanted only the plain donuts
In her happy place
Too shy to smile, but very pleased with herself
The girls
Exploring
Baby violet came over for a visit on Saturday!
I see lots of giggles in our future
Maggie's school library asked students to decorate a fake pumpkin as a book character for Halloween. Maggie decided on Rainbow Fish. Daddy took over (though I will say she helped out at every step).
Rainbow fish!
Fish out of water
Some others from the week
Squeezing in time at the park before it gets too cold
Not quite as fun as a real horse
This is how she looks after every PB&J sandwich.... a bit like the Joker from Batman...
Andy and Katie had a wedding in Detroit last weekend, so
they hung out with us for a couple days!
The girls were pretty annoyed that they went to the wedding and didn’t
take them, especially Maggie. On Sunday
we hung around the house, watched the Lions, and Mike came over with Tommy for
a visit!
Friends - and a blur of Tommy! Photo cred to Maggie
Classy
Another photo by Maggie... Tommy pretending to have new parents
We visited my parents last weekend – my mom had heart
surgery the week before, and so I was expected a very tired and recovering
person – nope! She is doing awesome,
still runs circles around me! She even
made homemade cream puffs, which we demolished!
More fudge!
Grammer knows how to do dessert
Gymnastics continues to be a highlight for both girls!
Needing a little hand-holding from Maggie to get started in class
We got the girls' school pictures back this week. They were... pictures of people I love very much.
Perhaps not quite awake yet
A bit forced... lol
Here's a few others from the week:
Proud of this little girl's art work!
Hanging at the Foley Powderpuff game
Making cookies
Will eat one bite of pancakes and all the bacon and sausage!
