Little Miss Muffett...

Izzypop was old enough this year to decide for herself what she and her brother should be for Halloween. I loved her idea. So after weekends of sewing, scheming and plotting (special thanks to Grandma and "Lorraine's") and without further ado, I give you "Little Miss Muffett" and "the spider":




Happy Halloween!!!

Skeeto Is 7 Months...

...and we have a new set of pictures! Thanks Steph!

And my personal favorite (today)...

Jack-O-Lanterns

Halloween just isn't Halloween until you've carved a rediculous face into a pumpkin with your fam. Izzypop picked out a Daddy pumpkin, a Mommy pumpkin, an Izzy pumpkin and an itty bitty baby pumpkin for the festivities. Skeeto did the initial inspection.


And his sister helped with the guts scooping. She's such a girl!

I think Izzy's and my own have striking resemblances to thier carvers.

And the fruits -- or vegetables -- of our labor:

Happy Pre-Halloween everyone!

Mappios!

In case you don't know, this is a mappio [mop-ee-oh]:

Izzypop has been calling buffaloes "mappios" since the trip to Yellowstone we took when she was 2. We just returned from our annual trip to Yellowstone last week and saw plenty of mappios. We also saw some beautiful scenery and other wildlife.



We also got to see Old Faithful.


Mostly, we spent time with the fam in the park.

But we did get a little relaxing in. I love Yellowstone.
