The Halloween Pumpkin

One of two pumpkins we carved this year

This was a BigE and Dada special

Millers

It's been a while since I posted about Millers farm. Well last weekend we took the trip down on one rainy Sunday to grab a pumpkin, some apple cider and a tractor ride. BigE didn't feel halloween was complete without a trip to Millers. Even the trip to Saunders with his class didn't fill the void.

Here's the best shot of the two hanging around the pumpkin patch.

I have several with Peanut losing her mind trying to get free and a few where BigE has his head down.

Here are the kids on the double headed Boo!


And Peanut's first picture in the pumpkin piles

Peanut Playing Hockey

BigE has been taking to hockey more so lately. He's on the ice twice a week with IP2. I picked up a hockey ball that is as heavy and bounces like a puck for BigE to play with.

However the person who has joined along is Peanut. She loves walking around with that mini-stick taking a swing at the ball. Check out the squeals.



By the way note the one handed stick work. Further proof that the one handed nature is genetic!

Pirate Ship Drawing

Here's BigEs drawing of a Pirate Ship play structure from Saunders farm. (A local spooky haunt for halloween).


It was pretty impressive. It had gun portals in the hull. There was a real rope rigging to the crows nest where the kids could climb up. The bit in the front was a rope anchor the kids could swing on. Oh and in the top right hand corner that was the little row boat that was next to the pirate ship.

It's a BOY!!!

Picture Mama saying this for 30 minutes

"Oh my I can't believe it. I thought it was a girl for sure"

Nothing toughens a little Sister

... like the "love" of a big Brother.

Some H1N1 Reading

Instead of the usual MSM and their panic, do you want to learn things like:

The mildest pandemics of the 20th century killed at least a million people worldwide. And even after six months, swine flu has killed about as many people as the seasonal flu does every six days.

So how could WHO make such an outrageous claim?

Simple. It rewrote the definition of "pandemic."

(emphasis mine)

Then go read The Pandemic is Political over at Forbes.

Just Like Mama?

Two pics from recent days. The first happened in TO. Its shopping cart Peanut. (That's MAMA!)

Followed up by nurse Peanut? I don't know when the heck this was taken but it's too cute!
