Luke loved these "hover craft" bumper cars at Stars and Strikes.

Luke has decided that, when you do it this way, maybe shopping with Mommy and Daddy really isn't so bad.

The fall colors are popping up all over the place. I never did really get the camera to "see" the way these yellow and red trees glowed among their green neighbors, but it was beautiful.

Since I start my spiffy new job next week, I decided to treat myself to some new nail polish.

Most of our other kitties are "boxaholics," particularly Cleo. Star is the "bagoholic." Put any sort of fabric bag down (like DH's gym bag here), and she will lay on it.

This picture didn't turn out quite like I hoped. The darker red leaves were just glowing against the lighter leaves behind them.

I know I posted nearly this identical photo (only taken with a better camera!) last month, but this is the only photo I took today. I was showing my husband why I wasn't doing the stuff I was supposed to be doing. I got kittened!

Happy birthday to my new 8 year old!!

This is Tigger's idea of helping us get ready for Luke's birthday party.

For his assigned project this month, he had to write a report, create a collage, and give an oral presentation at school about his family: who is in the family, what makes our family unique and special, and what we do for fun. I helped him pick out some pictures, he drew a few more (left is a game system, top center is pizza, bottom center is chicken nuggets and french fries). We have cats, we travel (Boston), we go to Disney every year, and we like going to the movies. He was so proud of his collage, and I think he did a great job. (Later Note: He got a 100 for the project!)

Aren't they cute?! This is Candy Sushi, made from Rice Krispy Treats, candy (Twizzlers in the maki rolls and Swedish Fish in the nigiri), and fruit roll ups. I think they turned out fantastically well! Can't wait to serve them at Luke's birthday party on Saturday.

A beautiful sunset to guide us home on this Wednesday evening.

No, I don't generally store Amazon boxes in my foyer; they're for a project later in the week (see the blog entry on Luke's birthday party). But yes, I had all of these stored in my basement (and this isn't even the entire collection; oops).

I thought the "shadows" made by the leaves as they brushed against my umbrella were interesting.
