Lovely Miss Lulu

Lulu went to heaven this week. She was a very special kitty and will be dearly missed. I have never known cats could be so fun until Lulu. She would go on walks with us and follow us around like a puppy. She was a cuddler and was Maggie's constant companion. And, she probably killed more mice and rabbits than a cat that lives ten years.
She was so amazing, they named a toy after her- the FurReal Lulu!

Maggie & Lulu getting acquainted...
and then she showed Maggie who was boss and took over Maggie's blanket! Eventually, she let Maggie back on that blanket so they could cuddle together.
She would join us everywhere and when Keara and Easton would play on the swing set, so would Lulu!
She was the proud Mama of five kittens.

She joined us camping in the backyard!

She followed us on every walk we took. This is from one of our last spooky forest walks.

Farewell, Miss Lulu.

Thanksgiving Feast at Preschool

Thanksgiving Feast at Preschool

Our group was in charge of mixing together the corn casserole.

We had to take turns stirring!

We played games, and...

sang songs with beanbags :), and...

dressed up like Indians and Pilgrims and enjoyed our food.

Hanging Christmas Lights

Just one of the fun holiday traditions. Luckily, Allen somewhat enjoys it!

Lulu decided to help too and climbed the ladder to the roof.

Keara- Princess Belle, Easton- Spiderman

Easton giving us 'web in the eyes'

Trick or treat! I think Easton probably rang that doorbell about three times!

We could have gone to 100 houses and Keara still would have said, go next house, more candy!

Easton was most excited about his suckers! He dug through one lady's bowl for about a minute straight saying, 'no, want something better' until he came upon a sucker!

Allen as Spiderman. Thank god they don't make that costume for adults!

Me, simply trying to live a dream! Although it is nice not to have an evil step-mother that tries to kill me or locks me in an attic!
