Autumn or Winter?

When the kids announced that it had snowed and was still snowing upon waking this morning, I thought a light dusting was probably getting them excited.  What a surprise when I looked out to see a couple inches on the ground, with more falling!

I love snow, but I prefer it during Winter, not Autumn.  I want to enjoy the beautiful fall colors as long as possible and I want to forestall shoveling the driveway and walks as well.  Hopefully this was just a preview and Halloween won't be white!

"Master Bedroom"

I took this picture the other day because I thought it was quite funny how one little kitty could ruin the perfection of Glen's nicely made bed.  In our marriage we have a rule that whoever gets out of bed last makes the bed. With the children on the early schedule this year I am usually up helping them and therefore out of bed first.  I love it when Glen make the bed because he is such a perfectionist that the covers are pulled extra tight and the pillows rest just so...

but a small kitty can change all of that in a flash!

Personally I think she is cute enough to get away with it, but the verdict is still out with Glen!

When I posted the picture I was reminded of another peacefully resting animal

 in the "Master Bedroom" by Andrew Wyeth. 

I'll take a cat over a dog on my bed any day!

Love the Dentist!

Here is our big girl missing her first tooth!  She is thrilled to make it on the all important chart at school and I'm thankful to have nature do the work, instead of the costly dentist.

She lost her tooth Oct 8th and that darned Tooth Fairy hasn't arrived yet! 

We have had some real issues with communication there!

On a more possitive note...

Today the children all went to the dentist for a cleaning and check-up and left with an A++, no cavities!!!!
