Couldn't It Have Hit Joe's Car?

Few more feet and the purchase of a new car for Joe might have been a little easier...

This does screw us up for Halloween. If I get stuck with a bucket of candy I'll be pissed.

Roasted Cauliflower Soup w Chive Oil

Holy fattening, but quite good I thought!  This recipe was from the October 2011 Bon Appetit.

Apple & Pumpkin Picking

Our camera got sand in the lens this summer and clearly I need a new one.  My crappy iPhone 3G camera is just not cutting it.  We did have a wonderful day with cousins at a farm in MA.  They had a gazillion pumpkins to choose from.  They had a kids hay maze that we spent some time on along with mini-tractor driving.  It was a gorgeous day and they still had plenty of apples for it being so late in the season.  Also, goats and sheeps, apple cider donuts, apple cider, and hay ride.  Great day!

   

In case you are wondering,  Kelly likes to dance with her arms out and eyes closed.  This happens daily.  This kid is always dancing and/or singing.

Potato, Kale & Sausage Soup

Had some Kale and Potatoes from the weekly share and love soup this time of year.  Searched real quick online and got a Food & Wine recipe for Potato, Kale, & Turkey Sausage soup.  Used chicken sausage and a little more broth than they stated and it came out nice.  Need some fresh bread for this to eat instead of the spaghetti at the school spaghetti dinner tonight (ew).

More Kelly & Shrek Singing

This is from late summer, but I love it.  Kelly singing Shrek (AGAIN!), but in a cute dress and followed by our good night exchange.  So sweet...

Shelagh at the Pool

Some swimming and some silliness from Shelagh...

An impromptu song...

Rory at the Pool

Rory and Shelagh elude me at the pool.  I didn't, unfortunately, get as many videos of them.  I did get this brief cannonball.

By the end of the day and the last day of a weekend of last pool days, Rory was SPENT.  I got him to sit down with a book and relax for awhile thankfully.  And, ended up with this...he's such a love muffin.

Kelly Fun in the Water - Part 3

For the end of year Labor Day pool party, we had a DJ and Kelly really got into it.  No fear, no embarassment.  Pure dance joy.  And, lots of admirers.  Kelly just wants to have fun a la Cyndi Lauper.

Kelly Fun in the Water - Part 2

More Kelly in the water fun...she LOVES Shrek and sings the song daily.  Here she is singing off the board and swimming face down.

Kelly Fun in the Water - Part 1

I took a million videos to remember how fantastic Kelly was in the pool this summer as a 2 year old.  Simply fearless.  She inspired a bunch of the little kids to go off of the board.  She is face down, blowing bubbles, and kicking.  She is jumping off the board and allowing Joe to throw her all around.  As soon as she hears music over the speakers she stops everything to dance for whoever is around.  She is a force to be reckoned with!  Here is the first of many videos...
