Our weekend

"Mama, do I look like a pirate?"

Rosie lays beautiful speckled eggs

Friday-our last day of sun before being buried in this dreary fog

Allie somehow ended up with me every single night

And these two apparently caught the Demco genes of loving sitting on the floor next to the heater vent. This picture was after I broke up the fight and showed them it could be equally divided. 

Our first ride around Seward park. Aunt Sonja asked Allie about 10 times, right around the point of no return, if she was tired. Not annoying at all. 

Siri showed me my own homemade gentle leader which kept rudder in check. We wrapped the leash around his hind area...it worked. Not questioning why. 

And after the ride they still wanted to play

Maddie called Nonna, per the usual, to see what was for dinner. Delicious per the usual. 

We went to costco yesterday. Why do I always forget and go on a Saturday? Allie did nothing to help me put stuff away but she looked cute chugging her yogurt. 

And then we spent the rest of the day at Nonna's 

We even had a little photo shoot. We took some pictures of drinks for a blogpost Siri is working on. The girls loved being "helpers"

And for some reason I acquiesced and let the girls sleep with me last night. The number of pictures throughout the night shows how well it worked out for me. 

raking

These two LOVE raking leaves and throwing them.  And they love anyone who will come outside and do it with them.

All in a week

Allie did not want me to walk her into class

And she had her very first picture day

Pizza night at Nonna's

With some very tough hangman

And friends for dinner and bedtime stories

Bring on the weekend and burn off this fog

Oh the fun that can be had with a blood pressure machine

Playing at the park

And happy belated to this guy

Fall festival

Stopping by Nonna's

Riding bikes-favorite activity

Allie loving on Goldie

Riding

A quick break between storms means as much bike riding as we can squeeze in before it gets dark. Unfortunately for them it's not long. 

Hangman

With phonetic spelling of course. 

And a side of rainbows and unicorns too
