Cell phone and purse camera catch-up

I guess we’ve been busy... Finally downloaded some on-the-fly pics and here are the glimpses I found:

Using a vine and twingenuity to climb trees ~ it’s hard to beat a candy store with a mascot ~ a neighbor gave us oodles of homegrown tomatoes so we roasted up a storm:

Bouldering at the rock gym ~ yummy cheese plate ~ Petco scavenger hunt is so fun!:

Wild turkeys blocking my morning walk ~ horse-crazy girls ~ fessing up to how the vase got a dusty handprint (after much coercion and finally promises of immunity):

Family night at the rodeo, the girls sat on Pepe the bull and braved the mechanical beast too:

Weekly homework club at our house (the group does homework then plays):

Dipped below 60 and the girls said they were freezing, actually willingly put on hats, gloves, and jackets ~ their PJ-layering technique is just nutty ~ how can Ree sleep under all this stuff? (see her hair peeking out at the top right):

Still loving their weekly horse-back riding lessons ~ brushing and handing out horse cookies are fave parts of every lesson ~ walking into the men’s dept at Nordstrom Ro yelled “Mama, why is there so much blue?!”

Family fun day, just got in the van and found some adventure  ~ had brunch at a neat restaurant that has thousands of items on the walls and does a scavenger hunt for kids ~ the shopping center has a cool giant redwood replica:

Look who we ran into! Santa rocked, he told Ro and Ree they needed to be kind to each other and not fight because “You’re sisters by chance, but you’re best friends by choice.” ~ have you seen the Magic Cabin catalog? The girls have already started Christmas lists based on that catalog ~ still loving archery lessons, and they can hit a bullseye from so far back:

Whew, that should cover everything. Now I’m all caught up again and things can slow down for the holidays. (hahaha insert maniacal laughter here).

* Awesome Petco scavenger hunt by Kelle Hampton can be found here
* We’d never heard of Magic Cabin before, but they sent us a catalog this month, and Ro and Ree have loved it to shreds already.
