I looked at our blog and decided it was time for an update. The guinea pigs are no longer with us. Their young owner decided that they just didn't like her, so she carted them back to the pet store (in time for us to get a full refund--good timing!). The rats may not be with us much longer either. They chewed holes in 2 pairs of our son's shorts in the past few days. I hate throwing away things he will actually wear, because there aren't that many. He's a little picky with clothes (can't be too tight, too loose, too scratchy, too heavy, too new, etc.--but I digress). Today they got into gum on AD's bedroom floor. It was kind of amusing to watch Sugar's little jaws keep chewing and chewing. We'll see what a few pieces of gum do to our resident rodents. I'm trying not to be upset about their newest chew toys (I'll just add the shorts to the list of their expenses, including a couple of pairs of jeans, a pillowcase, and our denim couches that they turned into swiss cheese--add that to the expensive vet visit and well, we could have easily paid for a dog!).
Anyway, I'll add some pictures so you don't have to listen to our pet woes any longer.
The week before we went off track, AD learned how to ride a two-wheeler! Her dad was taking her to school because she couldn't bear to part with me. She was so proud of her accomplishment and so glad to be with her dad, that she forgot to be upset about going to Kindergarten. After 3 1/2 weeks of being off track, she went back to school on Monday. So far, she has gone every day without crying!!!
We took the kids for a drive around the Alpine Loop to see the fall colors. It was gorgeous!!!
EDD is riding Sierra, who was dressed up as My Little Pony for Halloween. She loves her horseback riding lessons!
Darth Vader, the Wizard, and a fairy. I actually sewed the wizard costume!! Who says that miracles have ceased?

The kids look so happy! It is great to hear how you are doing! We are heading to Pasco for Thanksgiving, the the kids are so excited to see their Sherwood cousins. We are doing well, especially since Super Saturday is over!!! Now onto a Progressive Dinner in Dec. It never ends :) Did I hear you were called to lead enrichment, too?!
Hello Dummer Family,
