2 pirates and a ladybug

I am not sure what Captain Madison is mad at.




It is a good thing I took pictures of our jack-o-lanterns. Dale backed out of the garage the next morning and ran them over with the car.

Morgan's Birthday

We had Morgan's birthday early so that we could celebrate with my parents. She didn't seem to mind. We will have another party later in November with her friends.

Morgan loves her Littlest Pet Shops.

Morgan designed her cake herself and even helped to assemble it.

San Francisco

We went on a tour of the French Frigate "Prairial" which was docked at Pier 27 for one week. Their main duty is to patrol overseas maritime zones over which France implements its sovereignty. In peace time, they enforce navigational police, control fishery and protect trade traffic.

Michaela was not quite sure if she wanted to touch the fish in the Aquarium by the bay.

Sea lions, sea lions and more sea lions.

Silverbend Pumpkin Patch

Raia, Kate and Michaela

Grandpa finds the perfect Pumpkin.

Michaela finds her pumpkin.


The Preschoolers went to the pumpkin patch. Grandma and Grandpa got to come along also. Since I work at Tiny Tots, Michaela and I got to go twice. We did not stay for the Friday afternoon session, Michaela was quite tired.

Madison's Awards Assembly

Madison is finally not next to the 2 shortest students in her class.

Madison got 4 awards this trimester: Reading Effort, Writing Effort, Citizenship and Homework Hero. Morgan's awards were the day before. We did not know about them.
