the vampire princess and the feirce pirate hit the streets to round up some loot.
i started a neighborhood preschool, because.... we needed it!
here's a few of the kids trick or treating at my folks, right down the road.
biking season is still going strong, for the very dedicated.
first snowman of the year!
montana max, the wonder dog needed a house for his night shift on guard duty. this mansion has a bed heater, is fully insulated and even sports a window. No big critters can escape the super-hearing of max. he hears every twig snap and promptly chases the bears, lions and wolves (oh my!) off our land. he then comes back to the porch for praise. airedales are the ultimate mountain family dog. he is so gentle with the kiddos. johanna doesn't like rest time in her room unless max is along. i need to get pictures of the outfits she's dressed him up, he won't be too embarassed... thanks dad for the construction help!
end of the year soccer picnic. i was one of the coaches. never played soccer in my life. funny thing is, after a few high fives and a whole lot of enthusiasm, those 4 year olds never even noticed.
ahhhh.... the view from the bathtub. and the kitchen, bedrooms, living rooms, even the laundry room. always puts things in perspective for me, even after the fifth load of laundry...
