Check out all the shenanigans going on at Mark and Laurie's! Tuesday, November 8, 2011. Boo-ter later than never! Mark and I carved two pumpkins this year and entered them in a contest at his work. Mine is supposed to be a dog (of course) with the words "Happy Howl-o-ween" on the back and Mark's has a bunch of different leaves around the entire thing. Sadly, we did not win! As I type this it is actually November 11, Veteran's Day. Today is a parent-teacher conference day, so no school for me! My Blog Lis...

Making her own toys (in this case a camera and this camera certainly morphed into something more detailed). Cooking (she made breakfast from scratch.
