EXCITED FOR HALLOWEEN

M is super excited for Halloween.

This morning she made some Halloween themed

arts and craft out of pipe cleaners.

Here is some pics of her

skeleton and spider.

Little Kitten loved them

since she is

tOtAlly

OBseSSed

with pipe cleaners.

M decided she wanted to be a Mummy.

Here she is (after a toilet paper roll later).

Can you spot Thomas watching in the safety of the distance.

Little Kitten's turn to be a Mummy

In the afternoon,

M went to a local craft store

where they were having a

pumpkin decorating craft event.

MUCH to the delight of M,

her BFF turned up too.

Their pumpkins were adorable!

TARGET OPENS

Our new Target rocks!!

YELLOW RAIN BOOTS

M got some new yellow rain boots lined with

coZy

white fur....I wish I had some!

They arrived a few days ago

which was just in time

since today it

rained,

rained,

and

rained

some more.

She begged to splash in the puddles

so here she is.

She didn't mind a bit that it was pOURing....

I, on the other hand, would have much rather been inside

wearing my pjs and drinking hot chocolate.

PASSWORD HACKED BY A 7 YEAR OLD

Every morning when I go to make sure M is up and getting ready for school,

this is what I find...

M on her laptop and Thomas snuggling with her.

She has had her own laptop since she was 5.

She plays her games like

club penguin and animal jam.

We have a parental block on it

so she can't go to any websites

that we haven't approved.

Today one of the parents of her friends

let us know that she had hacked into hubby's password

and was checking out things on youtube.

Hubby has a program running on her labtop

that shows him exactly what she has looked up.

Luckily she was looking up pretty harmless stuff

like farting cat ( I did have to laugh).

Needless to say we were nOt happy about the whole thing.

It did amaze us that she saw hubby type the password and remember it.

Her laptop has been confiscated

and we had a long talk about

trust, privileges, deception, the dangers of the internet, etc.

M really enjoys her games

and I don't mind since they have educational aspects to them.

She also does a lot of other academic activities such as

piano and Kumon

so I also want to her do activities that

she really enjoys.

Not sure what I am going to do at this point

but for now there is no computer for her.

CAT KITE

M made a cat kite

at school the other day.

It is really cute.

The body of the kite is a cat's face

and the tails have wishes on them.

I had to laugh at her first wish.

Hubby's response was,

"BOYFRIEND!??!"

Her second wish is for another algae eater.

We have a fish tank

and her favorite fish is the algae eater...

she calls it Bob.

Her last wish is for

one of her friends to come live with her.

LITTLE KITTEN LOVES THE TRASH TRUCK

Little Kitten loves the trash truck.

When it drives by she will fly (yes, literally)

to the nearest window

to stare at it

until it drives away.

SATURDAY AFTERNOON

We went to to nursery today

to get some plants to

liven up our back yard.

M had a blast riding on the cart.

Faster, daddy, faster!

Make room for the plants.

The Nursery also had a cute little pumpkin patch.

It had so many varieties of pumpkins...

lots of weird colors,

shapes,

and textures.

M got a kick out of it.

Weird bumpy pumpkin.

What is this!?!

Pretty bench at the Nursery.

The whole family was hanging out in the back yard.

Some of the flowers I am going to plant.

A palm tree grew down our side yard.

There is just no room for it.

It finally had to go

since you can't walk down the side yard anymore.

The palm was a fighter...

it took hubby forever to dig it up.

Thomas enjoying the back yard too.

Little Kitten found a bucket with water

and of course was delighted...

pesky, pesky, pesky.
