>holy cow. what happened to october! The girls are out trick or treating tonight with scott, and our neighbors. Bee is a cowgirl and frankie is pirate. We will post pictures later! I know its not halloween, but the city has a little thing for kids to go out tonight and visit all of the stores downtown. they were so excited! Other than that, things are same old here. We actually had frost last night. the leaves are starting to fall. It will be winter before you know it!

>Frankie is really into rhyming. She is almost always saying something like this: “Listen to this! Cat Dat!” or “Daddy Waddy!” and then she laughs. Tonight she was on a roll, but she didnt realize it. She had us in hysterics. She said: “Hammock Dammock (which sounded like damn it) and “Cookie Bookie” and “leg keg”. Im not sure of what to make of her ryhmes. Maybe we walked by too many tailgaters this weekend!

>this is one of bee’s favorite games lately, but today frankie and our next door neighbor wanted to play just like bee. she was a great sport and kept leading the way, game after game after game! the movie isnt so good because I waited way too long to get the camera out….

>frankie loves to sing. mostly she sings made up songs, but she is known to sing a couple of popular tunes.

happy birthday marky!! Now both doggies have hit the century mark and its time to party! Meatballs anyone?? BTW did you notice the cameo the birthday girl in the video below?

>Yah we found the camera! Actually scott did, so he wins the prize!! A foot massage. lucky guy Id say! Here is the fun we had. the girls love to chase each other and play ball. they also love to play wrestle. Sorry I didnt catch that on film but they do get into the rough and tumble here. Frankie loves to watch this video and laughs when she starts “boinking”.

>We picked about 100 tomatoes from our garden this past weekend, and I decided I better make a big batch of sauce or we wouldnt eat all of those tomatoes before they went bad. Actually i should say that bee and frankie did alot of the picking. bee was very careful not to put any of the rotton ones in our bowls, and also very good about policing frankie on this matter. Then we carried all of the tomatoes inside to wash them. bee and frankie wanted to wash them, so I set up two chairs by the sink, with two big bowls so they could rinse the tomatoes then put the clean tomatoe in the colander to drain off a bit. about an hour later they were just finishing up and the tomatoes were reall quite clean, but they were completely soaken wet from head to toe and so was the kitchen. I wished I knew where my camera was. it was so cute. And hey, if anyone finds our camera, you win a prize!!!

>We were sitting in the family room watching dragon tails.. both dogs sleeping on the floor, and then we hear, CRASH, the dog food in the cabinet sounded like it feel down and crashed on the floor. At first I thought, OK Koompa what did you do now… but no. she was on the floor by my feet. Scott ran into the kitchen and found our resident opposum drinking water from the dog’s dish! ewwwwww! it came in through the dog door! I guess I will try to get a picture next time!!!

Now this morning when i got up I went into the kitchen to make some coffee and I found the dog food spilled on the kitchen floor, and poor poor doggies I blamed it on them!! It looks like we have a repeat visitor. help!
