Fall

My boys (the little ones at least) love to eat breakfast food for dinner. On this one occasion, we had pancakes and bacon. This shot of Kyle is after he had eaten FIVE pancakes and was still asking for more. I just love this picture because it shows his camera smile (ie "Smile, Kyle" and this face always pops up!) and because he loves to eat (some) foods! Each year, we have at least one session of making homemade sugar cookies. Sometimes at Christmas, sometimes at other times. This year, we decided to make them before Halloween but we did freeze the pumpkins so they would work for Thanksgiving guests! The boys have become a lot more helpful in the past few years so I'm not actually stuck doing all of the work. Grant loves to roll the dough and sprinkle the flour, and Kyle is a "pro" at pressing out the shapes.

I had no idea this was going on - within a few minutes, he had run to the garage to get a rake. We have one "old" tree in the front and have planted 4 "new" trees in the backyard. What a helper!
