Three Little Pumpkins

So the kids and I made some little construction paper pumpkins yesterday.

I was so proud of Sassy's completed design. I cut the shapes based completely on her direction (she can be rather opinionated!) and she pasted everything on. She also had the idea to make her pumpkin a "girl" pumpkin by adding the "prickly things" (A.K.A. eyelashes).

Mr Jenkins was more into an abstract rendering of a pumpkin.

I totally love it too!

I made one quickly for Charli and we had a complete set:

Did you know that we are very classy types around here and that we often partake in "high tea"?

Not really.

We are not classy nor is our tea "high"... or even tea for that matter.

But we do have a tea set that Grammy brought us from her trip to London and it has provided us with much joy and entertainment.

Here is a recent tea party:

Happy Tuesday!

Lovin' my littles

Do you ever take a picture of your kid hoping to get the "cute shot" but instead, it just keeps getting weirder...

...and weirder

...and sillier

...and stranger

...and just flat out bizarre

Yeah. Me neither.

Do you ever worry that people are going to think you abuse your child because he is so scuffed up from his wild boy shenanigans?

Yeah. Me neither.

Have I told you about Sassy's affinity for making nests.

Every night she requires a "kitty nest".

What? Didn't you know that cats sleep in nests?

Well, at least Sassy Kitty does.

The nest is comprised of one of her special blankets spread out on her bed and a second special blanket draped over her, with her little kitty-self sandwiched in between.

Isn't that just the most high maintenance adorable thing you have every heard of?

Anywho. She has taken to making nests in other locations as well.

Yes, at the park my dear child stopped up the slide with a nest, complete with pine cone eggs.

Look at the proud little chicken.

I am also a proud little chicken. My little hatching is 9 months old! Can you believe it?

I love all of these littles.
I am so blessed!
