One of my favorite parts of the holidays!

All that's missing is a bow on her head!

Minnie's neighborhood kitty friend, Gradie

Ready for the holidays!

Obligatory shot of Thanksgiving plate

Been gone so long, our team needed a new name

And so my holiday crafty time begins ...

Light I never noticed before ... that now WON'T turn off inside car. Grrr!

Woe is me. I have such a rough life!

Makes me wish I was actually good at knitting

Fancy lighting for our carry-out dinner

My girls are too good to me!

"I'm pretty sure this blue bag will taste good!"

Streetlight fireworks

"No, no, NO! I don't wanna wear my winter sweater!"

Crafternoon with Mom!

One of the girls!

Happy Friday from both of us!

Lonely car ... all by herself in the parking lot.

The only sweet treat I could find in my condo

Creepy tree shadow

From a 9-year-old

Background info: Every Monday, I have my kids do their "Weekend Writing". The only rule is that they have to write at least as many sentences as they are years old. I love reading these, because it is so much fun to get all the scoop on what is going on their lives. However, sometimes I get papers like this. :(

Prepping for my next crafty project!

Quality time with Mere

Thank goodness for empty seats by the fire pit!

Finally clean. Now I can breathe again.

Getting the word out!

I feel like I'm kind of "cheating" by using this for my photo of the day, but I wanted to spread the word about Ellen's entry in the KC Star - Best Dressed Halloween Costume contest!

First frost of the year

Hey Minnie, you've got a little bit of PB on your nose!

Such a sweet baby!
