Thanksgiving





This is the best one of Annabelle and Owen I could get before my camera battery died. Annabelle had fun showing Owen her toys, and now that Owen's becoming quite the walker, they had fun running around the house together.

rocking horse


Annabelle's Bep and Pake brought this rocking horse all the way out from South Dakota for Annabelle's second birthday. It took her a while to warm up to it, but lately she's been wanting to ride it all the time.

You might have guessed that 'boo' is one of her favorite new words. Also on the top of the list is 'mmmm, delish!'

origami


John found a great origami book the other weekend at the flea market. He and Annabelle have been having a lot of fun with it. They'll sit at the table together, each with a piece of paper, folding animals and airplanes.

bean bags

A while ago I made bean bags for Annabelle. I've been trying to think of fun, indoor things to do since we'll be outside less as the days get shorter and colder. So far we have a few fun games we play- we balance them on our heads, throw them across the room, or gather up an armful to throw up in the air on the count of 3. John's requested I make a mini bean bag for a pallino for indoor bocce on rainy days. Now if I can just get around to that before the rainy season is over...

the swedish chef and the chickens




Annabelle and Owen had a fun time trick or treating Sunday evening on our block.

Annabelle happily playing with her candy- this was right before she realized what the little, colorful packets contained. After she realized that all she wanted to do was to try to open them.

Giraffe vs. chicken for control of the car.
