Remembering One Kind of Brushing, Forgetting Another

"I wonder if I should say anything to Daddy about his morning hair?"

Anabelle and Xander Demonstrate Different Play Styles

Playing Cooperatively:

"See how that works? Pretty neat, huh?"


"Ha ha! Now you're getting it!"

Playing Non-Cooperatively:

"C'mon -- get OFF him! I think you're hurting him!!"

One Of These Things Is Not Like The Other...

"Here, just hold this chick and you can fit into our 'animal' costume theme, too!"

More pictures of Anabelle and her friends enjoying this weekend's Pumpkin Festival can be found here.

Blinding Flash

"Holy cow, someone needs to adjust their flash!"

Trike Trouble

"How come I get the feeling we're not getting anywhere even though both of us are using our feet?

Working Witch

"Who says witches have to wear witches' hats?"

Links to Lots of Pictures!

Blogger was down last night so I couldn't post any pictures. But I uploaded pictures to Shutterfly of Anabelle at Fawn and Jim's and Anabelle enjoying the autumn weather at the apple orchard. They're a couple weeks old but there are some really cute pictures in there.

Here's a sample pic from the autumn album of Anabelle and Jack driving a vehicle of some sort while Fawn looks on lovingly:

Sneak Peek

A sneak peek at Anabelle's Halloween costume:

"So, Anabelle, are you a good witch or a bad witch?"


"But, Mom, how can anyone see my costume if I keep my jacket on? And this isn't a witch's hat!"

Love The Socks

"You'd better not be taking a picture of this ridiculous outfit you dressed me in, Dad."

First Trip to the Barber Hair Salon

Anabelle gets her first big girl haircut! She was really good the whole time. Of course, it helps that (a) it was just a quick trim to even her hair out, and (b) there was a TV playing Robots right in front of her.

And here are the results:

It's subtle, but her hair lies much better now and it doesn't get as tangled or snarly.

Baby Produce

"But how do I know that baby is fresh?"

Regressing

Seeing Jack's ExerSaucer brought back a flood of memories for Anabelle. She had to climb in and relive those early days of infanthood.

Farmer Faces

Unfortunately, the illusion that we're really farmers was destroyed by my hat and Anabelle's hands sticking out.

Riding the Horsie

"OK, I guess I can kinda see how it's a horse, but I still think Daddy was cheap not to let me go on the pony ride."

You Are Served

"Wow, this must be the biggest serving tray ever!"

Baby in a Haystack

Babies in a Haystack

"Don't Wanna Have My Picture Taken!"

I'm thinking this should be the family portrait we put on our holiday greeting cards this year.

Pretty Preppy

A Star Is Born

Over the weekend, Anabelle got up on stage and showed off her musical talent:

Picking the Perfect Pumpkin

"How am I supposed to tell which one is the best like this?"


"There -- that's better!"

Rockin' Out

"Now where did I put my knitting needles?"

Dragon Rider

"C'mon, Daddy -- can't you afford $200 for something that makes your daughter this happy?"

Pretty Playdate

L to R: Sarah, Jia, and Anabelle.

Stand-Up Routine

[In Seinfeld voice] "What's the deal with grass?"
