Done

Super Saturday is over.
I am so happy.
I am so tired.
I am so happy.



Also, Kenji has scared a few people by cryptically mentioning a flipped SUV. Back when we went to the apple orchard, we stopped at the bank on the way. As we're waiting in line for the ATM, we hear the sickening crunch of cars smashing. I turned around and saw a cyclist laying on the ground, and I thought he had been hit, which would have been very bad. We all jump out of the car. The cyclist is walking away (so he's not dead) but there is a smashed sedan and an SUV on its side, still rocking from the impact. Kenji actually saw it tip and fall over. Anyway, apparently the SUV (which was being driven by an eight-months-pregnant woman) ran the red light, smashing into the sedan and narrowly missing the cyclist. Everyone was fine. It was pretty scary though. The cyclist was mad that there was so much hubbub about the woman being pregnant because she's the one who caused the crash in the first place. He twisted his ankle or something when he fell. Joel helped the pregnant lady get her stuff out, and the paramedics were there almost immediately, and they got her out. Again, everyone was fine. Crazy, eh? So now the mystery has been solved.

Also, Super Saturday is over.

Other Autumn Airings

We've been doing a few other things lately, both fallish and unfallish, that I haven't gotten around to posting.
A couple of weekends ago, we had unseasonably warm weather, so we decided it was a good car washing day. It had been a while since we'd washed the car, and I honestly couldn't remember the last time we'd vacuumed the inside, so we spent a merry afternoon making it right. Dane got completely soaked before I decided to just change him into his swimsuit, and then he made the most of it.




Have I mentioned that we got a butler who mops our floor in a snazzy blazer and bowtie?

One Sunday, I got dressed for church wearing a new blazer my parents had sent me. Then Joel emerged wearing pretty much the same outfit. So then the only thing left to do was to dress Dane similarly.

Dane and I carved pumpkins the week before Halloween.
This picture belies the fact that he was very wary of the goo inside.


"Mommy! Lookada goo!"

The pumpkin eventually became Curious George. Every time Dane walked by the pumpkin thereafter, he'd casually wave and say "Hi, George."


One morning, Dane and I played in the leaves for a while.


Also, here's a shot of Woody throwing rocks in the "river"

Right here everyday!
Woody's Roundup, come on it's time to play!

There's Jessie, the yodeling cowgirl

Bullseye, he's Woody's horse

And Woody, the man himself, of course

It's time for Sheriff Woody!

He's the very best!

He's the rootinest, tootinest, shootinest, hootinest cowboy around!
