October 5, 2010 - Scooping Sand

October 6, 2010 - Happy 29
I wonder if he ever imagined he'd have these four beautiful kids (and a really awesome wife) at 29?

October 7, 2010 - Breakfast? Yes.
A complete, nutritious breakfast - Creme deMenthe cake and milk. :)

October 8, 2010 - Empty
Such a sad, sad sight.

October 9, 2010 - $18
This kid and his brothers and sister together made $18 digging out the landscaping rocks with their daddy so their mommy could scrapbook. They're awesome.

On our yearly trek at the Nelson Farm.

October 12, 2010 - Picnicking
Hopefully not our last picnic of the year, but we had a wonderful one, just in case!

October 13, 2010 - Toaster Waffles
My own version - at least they're homemade, right? And that makes them totally healthy? They sure taste better than the box! :)

October 14, 2010 - Smoovie
At the coffee shop, Auntie Abbie makes the best ones. :)

October 15, 2010 - A Shady Character

October 16, 2010 - New Note E

Oh, yes. :) :) :) In June, the baby will not be the baby anymore!

October 18, 2010 - 19 Kids and Counting
All the little Smith cousins. There are 3 more on the way (so far!), so this is going to be one big family!

October 19, 2010 - Quilt
I actually made this myself for my little Jackson. He needed a "big boy" blanket on his bed, and is totally in love with this one!

October 20, 2010 - Fruit Leather
Made by Mama with applesauce and squash. Elisa cannot leave it alone!

October 21, 2010 - True Lives of Messy People

Because why wouldn't you take a picture of such a yummy thing. Great. Now I need another one.

September 19, 2010 - Play Ball!
With bike helmets on. Because that's how we roll.

September 20, 2010 - Carrots
Obviously. Out of my mom's garden. You haven't had carrots till you've had them fresh from the garden!

September 21, 2010 - Candle Season

September 22, 2010 - And Jack eats toast.
These days, this boy has a definite opinion about what he wants to eat. When he sets his mind to something there's no changing it. So we ordered pizza, but since he'd decided hours before that he was having toast for supper, he did.

September 23, 2010 - Bad Hair Day
That is so well hidden behind the camera and with a low F-stop. :)

September 24, 2010 - Dresser Top
I'm not sure I've ever seen a reflection on it before. Maybe I should dust more often...

This picture sums up a relaxing, lazy, laughing, water-sliding, nail-painting, face-stuffing week-end with 5 sisters and their awesome mama.

Aidan is a little excited about it. :)
