The girls played in the store
Built with dad
Painted
Worked at the Vet
Then they got to spend a couple of hours with cousins at Grandma Lovejoys. How much better could the day get?! Hannah was in heaven!

After putting 5 of these tags on in the factory, the guys must have thought, why not a few more?

It's Beginning to Look a little like Christmas
I fall in love with the Christmas season more and more every day as I see our girls get excited about EVERYTHING.
While the girls were on Thanksgiving break...
We set up our tree
Hannah made a special treat for our family night with M&M's and a beautiful decoration she had made with some of my scrap paper. Only a mother can appreciate such beauty in a 5 year olds creation!
Hannah and Katie painted some wooden ornaments
We made star sugar cookies and then with our extra sugar cookie dough, we added cranberries, walnuts and white chocolate chips. YUM!

Fun with Dad
Peter made a work bench and let the girls help stain it. He won the Best Dad Ever award that day!

Surprises at Parent Teacher conference
It's that time of year-parent teacher conferences. Did you have anything surprise you when you went to your most recent parent teacher conference?
Well, this was my first parent teacher conference of formal education, if you don't count the one I went to last year with Hannah's preschool teacher. I really like Hannah's teacher and am pleased that Hannah seems to be learning some new things and making great friends. It is nice to know that Hannah is well adjusted and having no problems in school. I was surprised however to find that one of the required shapes for the year was the Rhombus. What?!! By the end of the year Hannah should be able to recognize what most of us know to be a diamond as a rhombus. I don't remember when I learned that, but it was probably Geometry, so maybe freshman year of high school, although I'm sure I had to have been introduced to it earlier, but surely not kindergarten. I have been very impressed with Hannah's school and I think she is perfectly capable of learning what a rhombus is, but when Hannah has her testing at the end of the year, is rhombus going to be the first thought that comes to their mind when she sees a diamond? I guess I'll just have to wait and see.

A Fun Filled Summer
We have had a fun summer, so fun that I haven't managed to blog for the past couple of months so here is a recap of what kept us so busy.
I painted the pillars and one wall in our front room and am trying to decorate the mantle in our family room.
Planting a caring for our garden that didn't fare well after too much hail.
I trained for a half marathon that I didn't run due to an injury I got with one of my feet.
1-2 hours of pool time each day (weather permitting-it seemed to be fairly cool this summer with a lot of rain showers in the afternoon, so we didn't see the pool as much as we would have liked.
Las Vegas for Peter and Kim: all expenses paid trip included airfare on a private jet. We saw the Blue Man Group, Cirque de Soleil "O", Jersey Boys, The Bodies Exhibit, and ate a lot of really nice food.
Flying W Ranch where we saw a horse being "shoed", Indian hoop dances, ate a chuckwagon meal and watched a show. One of the highlights of the summer. The girls keep asking when we can go back again.
Buckskin Joes railroad and cowboy town by the Royal Gorge. Not worth the money or the drive by me, but the kids had fun with their cousins and the scenery was beautiful. I'd like to go back if we could go hiking or white water rafting.
Canning Peaches, Pears and Peach Jam: Yum-Yum, We'll see how long they last.
Hannah started Kindergarten and Katie is in preschool. They both love school and we have all enjoyed the time that Mom has with each of the girls by themselves. Hannah and Katie are in a soccer clinic for a couple of weeks and love it.
