Catching Up

We got home from Texas to find that one of the trees in our backyard was loaded down with fruit! Luckily Grandad was able to identify them and we didn't have to ask Google after all. Persimmons! I'm relatively sure I've never had one before. There were eight altogether. The girls were quite excited to pick them. They were pretty yummy, we just cut them up and ate them, though we found lots of different ideas for eating them online. We'll have to experiment with them a bit more next year. 








We took a trip to our favourite farm up here and the kids were excited to see they had added some new dinosaur eggs to play in. 



I just love this picture so much.





Finn had his first horseback ride. He loved it!





Finn was pretty excited by all the animals.


Miss Teresa Muffet and a Nora Spider


Aaand the rest of the pictures from my camera for October and early November:


Nora is stylish as ever.


This little stink will climb on anything and everything.


I caught these two snuggling one day. I love their cute relationship.


This sad baby. I found him up on top of the table with the cayenne pepper shaker. He had dumped a ton of it out on the table. When he saw me coming he hurriedly grabbed a handful and shoved it in his mouth. Poor babe. I grabbed some wipes to try to get as much out as possible and then tried to nurse him to soothe his mouth. He took a few sips and then sat up, grabbed the wipes, and started wiping his mouth out himself. I remembered we had some gogurts in the freezer and that finally brought him some relief. Poor fellow, he was so, so sad, I just felt so badly for him.

Oooooh, no!!! Poor Finn!!! Super cute pics, as usual. Even the sad, spiced-up Finners... Those dino eggs are cool. And the persimmons!! They were in season for a bit here, and I LOVE them! So good! I'd never had them before. Lucky y'all, to have a tree!
