WANTED: The No Way Kid

Want some juice? "No." Want to play outside? "No." Can I change your diaper? "No." Want some lunch? "No." Want a book? "No."


Want some candy? "Uh-Huh!!"

Family Fishing

We spent the day Sunday on the lake enjoying the Fall color, and Daddy and the girls all had lines in the water! Rooney absolutely loved being on the boat; it was her first trip. She sat on Jesse's lap every time he drove and yelled, "Go fast, go fast!" Apparently, she finds being on the water very relaxing.

Happy Halloween!

Better Late Than Never!!

Got Milk?

Making brownies Sunday after the game. When Cowher didn't go for it after the interception at the end of the second quarter, I thought Jesse was going to get in his truck, drive to Pittsburgh, and belt him. What was that anyway? We had all three time outs, and if they'd scored the field goal, they wouldn't have lost the game . . .

Attitude, anyone?

We are so in for it . . . .

Trip to VA

We spent some time at my parents' in late Sept./early Oct., and while we were there, Natalie turned 4.

Grammy sent a box!

Grammy sent one of her famous boxes, full of goodies, and they spent the afternoon painting and devouring yummies!




Check out Natalie trying to open the candy necklaces...








And this is Rooney drinking her paint water!

My Rock Garden

Honest. I love spending time up there, watering the moss and..well, pretty much watering the moss. Another spot I love, the pond, always out there puttering with it, rearranging the rocks, pulling out leaves that fall in, feeding the fishies, etc. My neighbor teases me relentlessly. Leah is out watering her rocks again. (I catch her standing by the pond all the time...)

Best Buds

Mommy & The Guppy

Otherwise known as RooneyDoodle, which got shortened to Rooney, and has stuck like glue. She has no idea that her name is Madeline. Notice her artwork on the wall behind us. Not sure why, but my magic eraser failed me this time. She loves to show off that cute little bellybutton!
