Our neighbors, Holland and Sutherland, are Jayde's best friends. Those two are so good to her and they love her to death, even though Jayde bosses them around. This day it was so cold but everyone wanted to go outside, so everyone got bundled up and were rolling down our backyard hill.
Jayde's daycare has a day when they all go trick-or-treating around the office. She had a fun time, but she got so much candy that she could not hold her pumpkin with the treats in it. They also colored pumpkins and had a fun time. She was a white kitty-cat for this party. She had several that week.
Jordan had a heck of a time carving a pumpkin this year. There is a reason why the lid is cut at an angle and he found out why. He cut his lid straight up and down, then his lid got stuck in the pumpkin. It literally took him about 30 minutes to get it out and I just sat, watched and laughed. Jayde too colored on her pumpkin, again.

Jayde loves to paint so we let her paint her pumpkin this year and she had a blast! This also turned into painting herself, that is why us mom's get WASHABLE PAINT.
This is our lovely family. Some of you may not recognize the other person in this photo, Zachary. He is Tom's son who has been out of the picture since he was little, but now we have brought him back into our lives and his mother is turning another cheek and letting it happen. Zach is one year older than Jordan. Good looking family, aren't we.
On Saturday we had a big birthday party for Jayde at our house. Thankfully it was excellent weather so all 15 little children (all under the age of 9) and 15 adults could hang out in the backyard for games and cupcakes. Costumes were optional and even though we had gotten Jayde a cute kitty-cat costume, she wanted to wear her butterfly costume from last year which still fit her.
