"The Rainbow" by Turner

I'm loving this. We painted the red/orange background when Turner was 3. So this painting has been in the works for about 2 years. Sorta like the Mona Lisa.

It's complete with all of the colors in the rainbow. Five sheep (with four legs each) eating the grass.

Fall Fun

Lila turned 13! Whoa. Time flies. There was a get together at the O'Brien's and the party included cake and tree-jump-roping. Turner LOVES to hang out with Logan and will follow him to the ends of the earth (or up a tall tree).

Holloween 2009

Turner and I braved the ghost and goblins Saturday night and went trick or treating for Holloween. A block over about 30 or so houses got together and made a block party with games, candy and other activities for the kiddos. It was cool. Except that all of the people were not inside there houses - so there was no:

1) knock on the door
2) say "trick or treat" at the top of your lungs
3) then say "thank you" as you leave (or dad takes the candy you just got from that house)

Instead Turner was trying to figure out who to say "trick or treat" to. There was so many people walking around and it was dark. Our friendly neighbors were just saying "here you go" and putting huge handfuls of candy in T's bucket. No "trick or treat" needed to be verbalized. Is nothing sacred?

It was fun, but I think Turner was even a little beaten down by the end. With about 5 houses left he just wanted to go home.
