Not This Innocent Princess

Surely, this sweet Sarah Morgan...

...would never, ever think of.....

...going to the guest bathroom, and after washing her hands....

...proceed to flush an almost brand-new bar of soap down the toilet...!

What a stinker!

Back 2 School Meal

Here is a peak at our 'Back-2-School' meal

before Ethan entered 1st grade -

I decorated each family member their own unique brown-bagged lunch.

Cut their (egg-salad) sandwich into a fun design, added some 'school' foods and drink.

Ethan was so excited to take a look...

After we were finished eating, we grabbed the books
from the center of the table to have a reading party...

...Going to school with his cousin

Sunday Snapshot

I got tickled at Ethan the other day when he asked why we hadn't bought any Halloween candy yet. If he only knew that our house is positioned in such a way that is 'off the beaten path' for sugar starved kids, then he probably would have understood why we didn't need to stock up on bags of candy! Doubt too many people will be walking by...;-)
