Owen is OLD

Although it's been over a month since Owen
turned '4', he's still VERY excited to be so old. A few days ago when Ken and I were out of the room we heard him talking to himself while sharpening pencils, "You just never know....you just NEVER know when you are going to get taller and bigger."

Three kids in a tub and Fun with Cardboard Boxes

I think this is about the last time we get all the kids in the tub together (Evelyn would be SO pleased to hear me say that...she likes her space!)
We found a new source for cardboard fridge boxes, and might be making another addition soon.

Long Winter Days...

Looks a bit like a Graeve Christmas. A gathering of some college friends and many offspring!

Snow, lots of snow! And again. Ken might get to ski to work again, and our snow mountains are growing.

Here are a few more fall pictures. Fun in the leaves (Evelyn was quite helpful with raking, the others with jumping), a plant collecting walk, Owen ready for trick of treating, and the girls riding around the house in whatever they have decided that basket is that day. Lots of fun!

Nora told me that I needed to get some pictures on the blog, and she's right! She and one of her Kindergarten friends had a nice little chat about pictures on facebook and blogs. "is your mom going to put that picture on facebook? no, i think on 'the blog'." Anyhow, as the five year olds know, I better get to work!
Evelyn in the wagon is from when Ken was bringing plants in for the winter, and the happy smile from watching Owen do something crazy.
