do you remember doing this?

circling every item in the weekly circular in hopes that santa will soon bring it your way? personally i don't but my mother insists this is completely normal and a natural part of childhood. hmmmm.... nevertheless trey is shameless. rarely does he skip even a single item per page. barbie or bakugan... it looks good to him.

what to do...

when all the leaves fall...

slow us down...

originally we had several Halloween events on the docket that were scheduled to begin in the afternoon and would have run long after dark. but thanks to the rain

we slowed things down a bit

and frankly it was perfect!

a perfect day for the park!

nothing like Autumn in the mountains. this week before the rain started we enjoyed temps in the seventies and lots-O-sunshine!

good times with mika!
