red delicious


more apple picking pics to come...

pumpkin tree


this pumpkin is currently growing about 4 feet off the ground, in a tree. it was spawned from our compost bin, presumably from the remains of the pumpkins that spawned from frampa's compost pile last year. the vine is taking up a substantial portion of our tiny yard and appears to be providing us at least three pumpkins.

dance diva

it is too funny to watch pickle in her dance class.  she is obsessed with watching herself in the mirror and will often bust into impromptu performances in the middle of class, all well transfixed on her own image.  none of the other little girls seem distracted by the mirrors.  just pickle.  sigh.

girls night

daddy took quentin to his first cub scout meeting tonight.  knowing this was coming, caroline had been talking to me about "girls night" all day today.  after the boys headed out, i asked her what she wanted to do for girls night, thinking she'd want to play dolls or dress up, or ride her bike or something.

"i want to watch special agent oso on the ipad."

so yeah.  i cleaned the living room.  she watched the ipad.  girls night.  woooooooooo!

big brother

caroline was very excited that she learned a new sight word today (is!)  quentin was very proud of her and decided to help her learn more.  he found his ring of sight word flash cards from kindergarten and started quizzing her.  obviously she couldn't read most of them yet, so he tried to show her how to sound them out.  very very sweet.  but sadly she will be teaching him...

we got bikes!

we finally got around to buying the kids their birthday presents... bikes!

quentin is doing very well with his.  he had been struggling with his old bike, which i think was just too small.

pickle, on the other hand,  likes to be pushed but she refuses to pedal.  someday.








little grave digger

quentin was driving his grave digger around and decided he wanted also pretend that he was dennis anderson and give autographs during the party in the pits.  daddy played his adoring fan.
