A Photo Montage

 It rained and rained all day at our house, so we finally got smart, and drove up the hill to play outside in the snow.  We were all elated at the first snow, especially these two!

 Maybelle was a bit "put out" at her lack of dexterity, but I think she enjoyed her first time sledding. 

 It warmed right up for Halloween, and so did we.  I took Porter to the "Mall" for a trick-or-treat preview.  Sears and the Movie Theater gave out full sizers this year.  It worked, cause Porter had his game face on at the trunk-or-treat.  It only took a week for Porter to consume all his candy.  Maybelle has also helped out a bit, if she finds it she eats it.  She has Porter trained to give her a lick of his sucker each time that cute ballerina whines. (credit to my friend Candice for Porter's costume idea)

 Maybelle...... she is always so pleased.

Porter enjoys raking leaves more than anyone else in the family.  Don't think that we buy our kids quads, our neighbor gave this to us and the battery doesn't work.  I am too cheap to replace a $40 battery so Porter has to push it around.  Builds strength and character:)

 This is our documented leaf fight, also to be entered into the "Mother Boy" contest, it looks a bit like an engagement picture.

Although the lake is now gathering ice, it is still magnificent to look at.
