Pumpkin Carving

Today being that most cavity-inducing of holidays, Halloween, I thought I'd make a Jack-o-lantern indicative of the interest of two of my very favorite ladies in the whole universe. As a note, I haven't carved a pumpkin since college, and it was one of those Eyes Nose Mouth varieties...this is WAY more complicated than that one was.

When I finished it and showed it to Ella, she said "I so proud of you Daddy." That's about the best compliment I can get.

October and SNOW!

Bunches of snow!

And a Halloween Package!

Falling leaves

A beautiful day!

Cookies!

Today Ella Bella and I made some cookies! I'm not sure how they taste (the cookies taste good, and the frosting is so sweet I feel sick just licking the knife), but they sure look good. And it was lots of fun!

After we made the cookies, Ella requested that I take some more photos of her making silly faces. Enjoy!

Finally a Fall Day!

October Day

Yesterday was a very good day....

I cooked, I cleaned, I laughed and I cleaned some more.....changed diapers, did laundry, washed dishes...made a really good dinner

and a yummy dessert that tested my patience...

Minus the mint...but still very good.
But I'd have to say my favorite part was making this:

Amy came over for our annual "let's make Ella's Halloween Costume" get together. It was so much fun! We looked at the poodles in Joann's and weren't very impressed so Amy suggested we make our own. So we did, well really Amy did and I'm so glad. It turned out very cute.

I also made a big mess...it really was a good day!

Happy October!!!
