October 25th -30th

Welcome to my new way of blogging. I saw this on a blog ages ago and thought it was clever, so I am going to give it a go. I figure its a good way to take pressure off me, without sacrificing the updates that distant (and close!) family and friends love.

So without further ado, The week of October 25th - 30th



Learned about H
Made hand prints and a witches hat
Went out and played in the first snow, or at least tried to...

Made butterfly wings (as per Alices request)

Took pictures of Mommy
Made spiders for outside the door

Imprint painted with Lemons
Made a fort
Made Pumpkin Cookies

And ate more chocolate chips than made it onto the cookies :)

Learned about I and made and Ice Cream cone
Played a bazillion board games
Painted with ice, because it started with I

and got really messy

Made ghost Cupcakes


Thats just some of what occupied our week!

Family Update

We just can't seem to get well around here.. we keep getting hit with bugs. An not colds, stomach bugs - the worst kind of illness you can get. I myself got hit with two (as in seperate) of these over the last week and a half, each one lasting about two days. Yuck. Poor Alice had a mild one on tuesday - the day it was snowing - and while looking out the window saw Grandma Ethington and Uncle Jesse. She was so excited. But by the time we got her dressed and in snow stuff between all the dry heaving they had already gone. We have been counting down the days until halloween so she can see Grandma Ethington again.
Dan compleated his second week of his new job, and still loves it. He goes on to phones on monday, with his new schedule.
I will be 30 weeks tomorrow, but that gets its own post, so stay tuned!
