My Baby Turns 9!

 Well, I don't know how it happened, but my Sweet Pea turned 9 today!  She went to school, shared Halloween doughnuts with her classmates, had her favorite chicken pot pie for dinner and apple crisp for dessert!  She said she had a great 9th birthday ~ and I said "My Baby Turned 9?!?"

Happy Birthday Sweets!

More like Chicken Pot Pie Soup with crust on top.  Our oven broke so I had to improvise

I'm having a very exciting 9th Birthday!

Tonight Gregory had his Bobcat Ceremony and Daddy was able to come home early (even with the BART strike!)  Fun evening with crafts, games, a raffle AND a ceremony too!

Run and Fun!

This morning Daddy ran the "Run for Education" 1/2 marathon.  He hasn't been training for months so it was a rough day for him, but he was a trooper and went out there to support the schools!  After the run I had to rush Gregory off to Super Franks for his buddy's party and then when we got home we worked in the garden.  Busy Sunday!

Gregory was up when Daddy left so he made him a sign

Daddy sitting after the run!  A first!  I've never see him sit after a race.  Well, he sat after the marathon, but not a 1/2

Got our fall/winter garden in!  Rainbow chard, broccoli, cabbage and lettuce.

We still left our peppers, eggplant, basil, and herbs alone
