FALL

I Love this time of year. The Holidays are coming. The Leaves are changing colors.  There is a crisp freshness to the air.  You can almost smell pumpkin pie, pine and cinnamon sticks in cider.  I LOVE FALL. 

Because of the baby blessing we celebrated Preston's birthday the Saturday before.  I just didn't blog till now.  He wanted an R2D2 cake.  I got a mold this summer at a yard sale. I had to goggle the color pattern and it took me like an hour but he got his Star Wars cake. I may revise the "any cake you want" to "any FLAVOR of cake you want." 

 Funny story: Preston was drinking his milk and found flouties in it.  "Its not gone bad? Did it separate?"  The he poured some more and a lump came out.  He fished it out of his glass and found a paper towel.   Yuck!  Now the rest of the story.  When the gallon of milk is almost gone Katana  likes to pour her milk herself.  At breakfast that morning I was taking care of Axel and she wanted another bowl of cereal--Which she got herself.  I didn't know it at the time but put the pieces together after we found the rag.  She probably spilled a little milk--climbed on the table to get a paper towel--cleaned up the milk and put it back in the jug.  We love her 

FHE in October is so easy. Preston surprised us one day with the biggest pumpkin I have ever seen.  It was easily 50 LBS. Katana could actually fit inside it. I was amazed at the difference in pulp, and seed size.  Katana was so excited. "Dada face.  Nana face" 

Got the kids PJs for Halloween. Katana's skeleton glows in the dark. And Axel's Pj's print is the only way I like candy corn.  In college I made these macabe face masks of Preston and I.  Finally in a place to use them as our candy dishes. Inspired by Big Nose George. 

Katana has a chest of dress up clothes.  The weeks leading to Halloween whenever we'd go to town I'd let her dress up.  She's so stinking cute.  Watched a few Princess movies.  Amazing how Romance is already so ingrained in little girls. True Loves Kiss. 

For Holloween Katana was a Spider.  Her Dad was the Web.  Axel was a puppy.  I wasn't going to dress up cuz I didn't really have a costume and I was just going to sit and pass out candy anyway.  Then Preston mentioned I could be a Bitch-- he was actually on to something.  I went as a female dog.
