Back 2 School & Gettin' Chilly

Now that the kids are back in school (sometimes anyways ... we are having a lot of days off due to Election/Veteran's/Thanksgiving and even more half days due to conferences), we are getting back into our routine. Yeah!!! The teachers seem to be taking it easy on the kids (or maybe themselves) this first week with the level of homework. One of Caitlin's homework assignments was to decorate a turkey. We had a lot of fun playing with scrapbook supplies - ribbon, chalk, paint, stickles, brads, etc. to create her turkey. It was SOOO much more fun than math!!!  :-)

Along with the celebrations of Autumn come cooler temperatures and it certainly has been getting chillier here in Nevada these days.  All this means the fireplace has been seeing it's fair share of use. With the switch of a finger (ahhh, convenience) comes our cat, Motor. He loves to come and sit in front of the "fire" and take a little rest. What a life!

Enjoy the photos!  (There are two stragglers of craft pumpkins that the kids decorated for Halloween. Cam with Chicken Little and Caitlin with a mummy.)
