Geary: Beats me. It's turned to the Nobel Peace Prize into something...something...
Jeana: ...it's turned the Nobel Peace Prize into another one of those cheap plastic trophies you get just for participating.

Pumpkin Owls
What do you think of our little pumpkin owls? I saw the idea in Family Circle's October issue and just had to try it out. I think they're pretty adorable. We used a white pumpkin and a blue pumpkin which the kids were really excited about. The sunflower seeds are hotglued around the eyeholes and the "ears" and feet are glued onto popsicle sticks which we then inserted into knife slits in the pumpkins. We can't wait to see how these look at night with candles inside!

When you don't know the answer--make one up!
Toby has been picking up a lot of conversational skills lately. He loves to be asked questions about animal noises, colors, and where things or people are. Yesterday we had the following exchange:
Jeana: Where's Noah?
Toby: At his school! Where's Daddy?
Jeana: Hmm. Do you know? Where's Daddy?
Toby: Daddy at work!
Jeana: He is! Noah's at school. Daddy's at work.
Toby: Where Lili at?
Jeana: I think Lili is at school. Where do you think Lili is?
Toby: Lili fall off the horse.
Jeana: Oh no! She fell off her horse?
Toby: Yeah. She broke her head.
Jeana: She broke her head!?!
Toby. Yeah...it's sad.
