our kissing fish~

ATSP hosted thier annual fall festival last night. games, carmel apples, a blues grass band and a BBQ followed by TRUNK or TREATING. A first for the Roe clan. I was on the fall festival committee and was in charge of games for the little ones. Below was our donation to the cause. Anyone for a little go-fish?

before

while i worked on the front the kids created thier own master piece on the back.

after / now will it fit in the back of my car?

a stroll around the block

i turned my back for just a minute ~

and check this one out!

this kid finds fun just about everywhere. i had started to do the dishes when the laundry needed to be changed. from the laundry room i heard trey say that he was going to do some dishes. well have at it - i said! to my surprise i came back to find trey naked and completely submerged. again, i had to grab our camera before dragging him out by his toes.

trey and his potty~

who knew one could have so much fun with their potty? i caught trey "potty training" two of his furry friends the other day. so sweet. had to share.

keepin' busy while dad is away

candy apples; fun or fantastic opportunity for huge mess?

in our case, both of the above.

according to our kids everything is BETTER with sprinkles...

this picture makes my heart happy and i wanted to share it. beth snapped this photo of the kids while we were in maine this past summer. we have so much to be thankful for!

gardener makes confession...

i am addicted!

to BB Barns that is. the kids and i had a hey day shopping for some fall plantings this weekend while pete was away. we will plan to head back in mid november to get some winter berry to add to the planters placed at the front door. on the deck we had endless possibilities with full sun exposure. tried something new, mustard greens and a succulent with the pansies. can't wait to see how they look after they've filled in a bit.

kater-pie ~

my baby girl -- looking so grown up these days. i have been affectionately calling her kater and kater-pie since birth and just recently trey has also taken to calling her kater-pie and even katie. eeeekkkkkk! but i have to agree with kate, "it just sounds so sweet when he says it."
