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?"

A Perfect Fall Day

Anabelle and Jack enjoy a stroll around the lake on a gorgeous Fall day:

















BONUS VIDEO:

"By The Power of Grayskull..."

Anabelle practices to make her version of the Star Wars Kid video.

Who's At The Door?

"Guests? But I haven't even started cleaning the house yet!"

Prime-Time Elmo

"Ah, there's nothing quite as relaxing as unwinding watching a little TV before bedtime."

Dazzling Artwork

I love Anabelle's bold use of color in this finger painting.

Reducing The Sleep Deficit

This weekend, Anabelle caught up on her sleep.

Stunt Rider

"Look at me! I'm Evel Knievel!!"

Trying To Be Patient

"But you said our table would be ready in 15 minutes and we've been waiting for over half-an-hour now!"

Sticking Out Her Tongue

But it's OK because we'd just asked her, "Anabelle, where's your tongue?"

What, Me Sleepy?

"I'm not tired; I'm just sad that Daddy doesn't even remember when he's already posted a picture of me."

Since the other post tonight was a repeat, here's another one. I hope this one is new!

Beginnings of a Continuity-Obsessed Fangirl

"This story TOTALLY contradicts episode #4093 of Sesame Street!"

EDIT: Oops! Buni pointed out that I'd already used this same picture before. Still, I think that's the first time I duplicated a picture in over a year, so not bad.

Tot Tea

"Time for my afternoon tea, don't you know?"

Baby Blogger

"All right, Daddy was tired and had to go to bed, so I guess I'll have to post tonight's picture."

Super Swiffer

Anabelle is such a good helper when it comes to cleaning.


She always makes sure to check tough spots, like behind the radiators.


She even remembers to clean under the furniture!

Homies at Home

"Yeah, me and my peeps are just sitting here on the stoop, chillin'."

Recurring Problem

"Why are boys always chasing me?"

The Tiny Tracker

"The trail is clear -- the dogs went this way!"
