Pumpkin Time

We need to start this one with the fact that Steve bought a 96lb pumpkin. Yes you got that right a pumpkin just under 100lbs. He is needless to say very proud and carved it first thing. The criteria for MGs pumpkin was that she wanted to be able to pick it up on her own and as far as Brennie was concerned the tractor ride was the highlight. We had a great time and avoided all drama until we decided to go out to lunch. The kids were way tired and it was way to close to nap time. Needless to say that did not go well. Over all an awesome family day.

"When did she get so big?"

So finally the words when did she get so big came out of Steves mouth and not mine. Madison has started swimming lessons again. The big difference is that this time a parent doesnt have to get in the water with her, she just goes on her own with her teacher and class. I think Steve was pretty relieved not to have to get into a swim suit as am I. The great news is she really loved it. I was worried she would be timid with out mom or dad, but she had a blast and wanted to go back the next day.

Sleep Over

Well, finally you get to meet Eddy. He has been around the longest but gets the least amount of mention. I found E in an alley when I lived in Washington DC. He is now 13 years old. He is a small cat but very fat. He is also pretty grumpy but mellowing in his old age. He has lost his ability to jump well. So he has recently decided that MGs bed is the best place for him especially sense it has a step stool to help him get up. He cuddles in as close as he possibly can and he protects her from things that go bump in the night. Nothing like a sleeping child. One of those ahhhh moments.
