Dipping Leaves

Madigan and her friend Paige and I dipped leaves in beeswax this year. I had wanted to do this projects for a long time. They looked pretty for a few days, but then started to dry out and flaky beeswax was all over the place.

Halloween 2011

It took me so long to post these Halloween pictures! Madigan was a unicorn and Leo was a gnome. I made the kids costumes. Leo's was just a knit hat. He wouldn't wear his beard. Madigan liked how her costume came out.

Fall Activities

Madigan strapped into the trampoline (Still can't believe she wanted to do this!):

Painting

Madigan has always loved to paint, but Leo is loving it these days as well:

Mud room

There's lots more pictures of our remodel, but this one is special because it's my new mud room! We love love love this room and now that's it's snow season it's been heavily used already. There will be bench along the wall on the right side when Kyle has time to build it.

Measuring tape and tools

This boy loves his tools-like crazy mad love style! Kyle has been complaining that his tools are all over the house/garage...well they are because Leo can't carry them all and has to sometimes leave one behind.
