Pumpkin Pie

Lily's pumpkin pie footprint. (Don't leave your pies in a box on the floor)

Fishing with the Dog

Patrick is trying to train our "bird dog" Trapper and it's been a lot of fun. We has been able to take him pheasant hunting and is now trying to teach him to retrieve as well as tracking the birds. He tied a pheasant wing to the end of the line and it seems to be working, but it is going to take a lot of practice and patience. He's still a puppy but very smart and eager to learn, Patrick can't wait to get him out hunting again.

Monday Folder

Every Monday Sivai brings home a folder from school with all of the previous weeks' work. I look through everything and make him finish everything that was not completed and I ask him about all of his papers. I wasn't sure about the picture above so I asked,

"What's this a picture of?"

Sivai, "It's a picture of me exercising and puking."

Me, "Why are you puking?" (laughing inside)

Sivai, "Because I'm exercising so hard!"

Sugar Fiends

We had a fun time at our trunk-or-treat and our friends Halloween get together. Sivai and Austin got an entire pumpkin full of candy....ugh...the sugar rush begins.
