Additions to our family

Toni had her puppies Tuesday morning. Owen went over with Pompa to see them moments after they were born. He got to hold them while they were still slimy. Not something i would be proud of, but he liked it.

He came home and told me how little they were and how you had to be careful how you held them. He also told me about how you have to wash your hands because they have puppy germs on them.

There are 6 total. Three that are spotted like Toni and three that resemble their father, Tyson.

Now for the next new species we are introducing to our farm:

Dad purchased three sheep from Anita. He plans on using them to help train his dogs. These sheep are not very nice and not kid-friendly so they have to be locked up at all times and we will be taking the dogs to them instead of the other way around. Dad spent all afternoon building them a fence. We'll see how it goes.

The new baby

Our cousin had his baby yesterday. Wyatt Russel Workman was born at 9:59 on November 4 (Dusty's birthday). Owen asked this morning if we could go visit and i said yes.

Owie didn't want to give him up (until he started to cry). The dinosaur you see in the picture Owen picked out all by himself and made sure Wyatt liked it. Edgar would just look at the baby and smile. It was a fun trip.

Then we went to Arctic Circle.

Where Owen got in a fight with a little girl.

I'm talking about a punching, hitting, screaming, kicking fight.

She started it.

I guess this wonderful day just needed a little grounding to it.

Halloween Fun

Just ignore the fact that i wasn't smart enough to rotate this picture before i posted it. i think the cute little lions should make up for that...right?

The cute lions quickly turned "mean" when they learned i would jump at their growls. They thought it was funny. Thanks to Jen for letting Axel come and play with us. Owen loved it!

Owen was "big horse, big gun" or as it is known in the rest of the world as a knight. Ed was a pumpkin. They were both so cute i just couldn't handle it. Owen loved trick-or-treating, but his costume slowly started to stay in the car until he only had his sword left.

You've heard of method actors, right? This is Edgar getting into character for halloween. :) He participated in the pumpkin painting this year for about five seconds - enough to get that lovely design onto his pumpkin. He quite enjoyed the bath afterward though.

Here was the final showing. Owen painted his big one and his little one all by himself. he also added some artwork to daddy's pumpkin. i love this tradition and am not looking forward to the year owen asks for a knife.
