A Pacific Northwest Mom with two boys on the journey of life

Photo Friday – Halloween 2014 Halloween this year was full of heroes. Jack was Donatello from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Will was Superman and Islay was Supergirl. Supergirl didn’t cooperate very well for the photo of their backs. I felt well protected last night.

Photo Friday – Islay and Jack raking Islay has enjoyed “helping” Jim rake leaves this fall. Last weekend Jack started pulling the rake around and she chased it all through the yard. Who knew that a rake could provide so much fun.
Photo Friday – Live Long and Arg Halloween This year we had Spock, a pirate and a bumble bee. Everyone chose their own costumes, well maybe not Islay but if she saw the dragon I was looking at she would have picked this one. Hope everyone had a safe and happy Halloween
