This and that...

October 31st is Juliette Gordon Low's birthday. Who is Juliette Gordon Low, you may ask....why she's only the founder of Girl Scouts! She was born in 1860 and to this day Girl Scouts around the country still celebrate her big day! Our neighborhood (all the troops in our local area) celebrated by having a campfire and sing along on Friday 10/30. It was a bit chilly, but once the girls all started having a good time they warmed up quickly! (The s'mores helped, too!) Luci was definitely having some fun!



I stepped back but still couldn't get them all in!

Max's birthday was 10/29 and we all went over to Dan and Tina's for a small family birthday party for the brand new 4 year old!

Monty was being especially cute this day... He's sitting on the back of the recliner/rocker looking out the window.

We love this stupid dog!

Drew has had a renewed interest in her American Girl dolls as of late and asked me to take a picture of her with Daphne for a photo frame she has. She wanted the Chinese outfits, so I set her up with the Chinese parasol for a backdrop.

And of course whatever Drew does, Luci has to do, too! So here she is with Daisy doing some ballet.

The first video below is a pile of children on Dean. Have I mentioned before that he was my third child???

And my third child once again, being his usual silly self. Excuse the sideways view...one of these days I'll remember not to turn my camera on its side when taking video!

Today's quote:

When life gives you a hundred reasons to cry, show life that you have a thousand reasons to smile! (Unless your teeth look like pinto beans, then do us all a favor and close your lips!)
