Here we present the Armstrong Family in Pumpkin:
Daddy's in the middle with the googly eyeballs, Trinity got to look the meanest since she can't say yet. Aidan wrote his name on his and Shad added ears! Camten opted for no touching his pumpkin with a knife (in the back), and Mom's the little, happy one.
At our house, pumpkins and excavating go hand in hand this year. We decided to fill in the pond in the back yard. Camten took a couple of swims this summer in the mucky mud. Trinity seems to be growing into a personality that might investigate the pond even
more, and we don't want to take the chance for at least 2 years... to be safe. We have a great spring to tap off of in the future, and we found some exciting things at the bottom of the pond - we're guessing they slipped down the drain from our neighbor's pond, so that's where we ran them to as we found them: There were six 4in. goldfish in all colors and four crawdads!! Plus double the floating pond plants we'd th
rown in - apparently, they multiply.I snuck into Jeremy's shop and got a picture of his favorite project: '67 Camaro!! He's got it up on jacks this week and removed the rear end, having a one built. He cleaned up the entire underside of this future show piece, and undercoated it. Then he put the drilled and slotted disk brake system on the front, while it's so handily available. As I write this, he's painting the new 12 bolt rear end, getting it ready for ins
tallation...Suki had a great birthday party!! It's so much fun to get together with family!! The kids all love Aunt Suki so much and how fun to help her blow out her candles! Camten has loved "castles" ever since! We found a home for one of our favorite kitties from Penny's babies - "Silver" is Suki's new best friend. I thought she'd follow her around the house and be a great study helper, since Su has so much school - sure enough!! But I did not guess the kitten would prefer to ride on her shoulder!! I wonder how that will work out when she's full grown?!
Shad discovered messaging on my computer - chatting with Suki, of course, and then Nana. Writing does have it's benefits! And so does spelling!!!! (I guess.)
He had this picture taken for show and tell at school. We are very proud of our 2nd grader! and our Kindergartener!!!! It's fun to get up in the morning now that there's 3 of us, and setting the clock back was a nice break, too. :-) Now the sun gets up with us, too!
One more thing - not only did Jon have a whopping birthday party too (I forgot my camara!!!!) He and
Angie came back from Africa with tons of picture
s and stories.Now I just can't wait for Halloween and Jeremy's birthday party... and the next step with our Maaco endeavor!!!
