Funny Daisy!

Today we came home from church and saw the evidence of our dog around the house. She had found a small garbage can and emptied it. Luckily it wasn't very full. Then we saw that she was chewing on something. She looked like she was sucking on a binkie! Hilarious!!! What do you think she is "chewing" on?

Halloween Fun!

Here it is almost one week late, but here are some cute pictures of our fun Halloween! (even though I hate Halloween, I consider it successful if my children look good!) What do you think? I think they looked pretty darn good!













Rachel was NOT Pocahontas...she was an Indian princess! Daniel was a Knight in shining armor. This was a fun Halloween!
