Happy Harvest Everyone!

Today we had ONE very cute Trick-or-Treater come to our door.












We decided to invite him to eat Dinner in a Pumpkin with us.













He thought the cornbread muffins were the BEST!













Later, while visiting Alex's room I saw that we had an illuminated masked alien.













I have been very busy with my SCHOOL assignments. One of my most recent projects has been Frog Breeding. I have taken pictures of my cute little critters for you viewing pleasure.






My frogs LOVE going to the pond and consuming dragonflies. It is always extra fun when they find tidy little presents to open.






Here is my nursery overflowing with Lanterna frogs. I earned 2000 experience points for breeding 8 of these jack-o-lantern wanna-bes.










I now have 7 habitats PLUS the nursery. I am beginning to have a little empathy for the Egyptians during their trial by frogs. Sometimes I feel overwhelmed with all these creatures and I am sure mine are much more cute than any that lived about 3000 years ago.

The second to the top habitat is housing my Cloudback frog family, Mom, Pop and 6 wee froggies. On the top row you will see some froggy friends. They are know as the Tree Hug frogs. The third one is my favorite. I just love his little brown pants with his green shirt.


Stephanie and I are now working in tandem so that we can collect all of the frog families. She is AMAZING when it comes to frog biology. She knows every froggy by name and puts eHarmony to shame when it comes to finding the perfect mate for each of her froggy friends. I think in her next life she should become a frog matchmaker. However, it really isn't fair. Stephanie has had Emmuska and Liberty to hop her frogs to happiness. AND if that wasn't enough she now has her sister to help hop frogs.

Well it is time to hop some more frogs to happiness. Wishing you a wonderful week. Remember to Enjoy the Journey!

Good Heavens!!!! How time flies!!!!

What on earth happened!!! I was doing so well with my blog posts. I even posted two days straight. Then, I think I entered a time warp in which I lost an entire month of blogging opportunities. However, my time was not wasted because I was able to be GRANDMA to my beautiful grandchildren. Here are some of our activities.














Elizabeth and Azure arrived on Tuesday. We headed to the library to make sure we had a good supply of books.




Azure is learning to walk at 7 months.








The cousins arrived on Thursday. Here is Emmuska holding Azure.












Emmuska was the first to see our visitor, Rainbow Man.













Thyrl and Madeline (who wants to be known as GG to her Great Grandchildren) arrived Thursday afternoon. Here is Thyrl talking with Jennifer.















Also, Jennifer brought Tiedyn up to visit. . .







. . . and to give hair cuts.






Stephanie brought her scrapbooking supplies so we could PLAY!!!! Elizabeth enjoyed some time being creative.














Samuel LOVED the train!











Mycal was in the thick of things.


















I purchased an army hat for Samuel, and Mycal just couldn't resist! It helped Mycal through his Army base withdrawals.



We had a party on the last night to celebrate Liberty and Emmuska's birthdays.

















They loved their fairy wings. Emmuska informed us that it was the BEST party ever!




The glow necklaces and bracelets were a hit.










Even Watson, participated!!!
