Okay, so Mike and I went shopping today. We wanted to check out the different play kitchens for Piper for Christmas. First we went to Pottery Barn Kids...wow. It was p-r-i-c-e-y! Piper had a blast playing with all the fun toys and especially the kitchen and vacuum cleaner. We liked the play kitchen a lot but really balked at the expense of it. So we decided to check out Toys 'r' us...uh, not a good idea. Everything was plastic, and we all know how much I really dont like plastic.

Onward...to Costco of all places, we went for supplies and left with a perfectly brilliant substitute for the PBK kitchen. 1/8 th of the cost and made just as well. Now we can rest assured that we wont have to get a 3rd mortgage to pay for Christmas presents!

There may even be money left for a chefs apron, vacuum cleaner and pots and pans!

oh happy day!

Cauldron brew and cauldron bubble...
Halloween is spooky....
and scarey...
and full of surprises...
knock on the door and see what fate awaits you!

Can you guess what I am....

I AM CHICKEN HEAR ME ROAR

I wasnt too sure at first. Getting my costume on was a bit of a fight, and losing my feathers all over the living room was a bit confusing... Mummy said that chickens say "buk buk buk", but I kept saying "uh oh uh oh"...maybe I am the Woody Allen of chickens.

I went trick or treating in my wagon, with Daddy at the helm, Mummy stayed home so she could hand out candy to all the kids!

Pippi Longstockings x 2!

Our neighbors twin girls dressed up like the Swedish Pippi...too cute. Their big sister was a rapper. Their Mom did a great job with the costumes. I loved the pigtails! Well done Avery, Brice and Dillon!
