Brrrrrr

Above – Selfie with Bear on our walk this morning.


Below – The palm tree out my living room window. 

Oh no … my shoes blew off the porch!

… and the owl blew over.

But that’s not all. Look what happened to our poor garden gnome.

And orchids in disarray …

Oh my!

It’s an angry ocean today.

November Sunsets

Above – Momma’s  boy. Sparty was happy having lunch at Pizza Nova with Papa Bill and the rest of us yesterday. Most of all I think he was happy to be with his mommy.


There’s nothing like November sunsets!

Below – Saturday night’s sunset (top, from the front porch; bottom, a panorama from the deck upstairs)

Here’s the sunset from last night. I love the clouds in this one.

There’ll be more sunset photos. I never get tired of them. Never.


Dinner Saturday night. The leftovers turned into salmon tacos for dinner last night. Yummmmm.

Ron had Bruce and me for dinner Wednesday night. While Ron cooked, Maya and Sparty kept themselves entertained with the pots and pans for quite a while.

  

Taking a time out to help cook …


Earlier that day, Sparty tries out the new car seat in Amma’s new car.

Later, Maya at gymnastics …

Variety

Above – I’ll call this one “Palm Trees”


Bird Rock at the end of Froude Street (our street) at high tide. 


Sunday evening – No, Sparty is not blowing a kiss. He’s working on his best pout. Well done!


Monday morning restorative – Even Bear gets in on the action.


Pay no attention to the lines on the hand … Lady bug. I found this little fellow or “Lady” in the kitchen. Of course, I took him/her outside.


The early morning sun cast a great shadow on this newly opened hibiscus flower – two different angles, same flower.

  


The girls …

Today – Music with Sparty followed by gymnastics and an afternoon with Maya.

Halloween Mohawk

Above – Surprise! Robb’s got another Mohawk! I’m guessing that also means soon we’ll see a buzz cut?


Below – scary dinosaur. Looks like Robb got bit by one.

Trick or treating – This was by far the best house. This house was so scary that Maya didn’t want to go up to the door. Here’re a couple photos of the creepy habitants.

No fear – Sparty didn’t have any problem going right up to the door and putting his hand out. At one of the doors we walked up to, he actually took candy out of his bucket and gave it to the people.

Crayons – What happens when you mix green with brown? A chocolate mess.
  

Oh look, there’s a big pink crayon with Elsa.
  
  

TACKLE!

Crayon Head.

Mixup – Pink crayon with Elsa mask.
