Austin Duck Tour

We had a great Thanksgiving holiday and we ended it today with a tour downtown and on the lake with Austin Duck Tour.  Our tour guide was excellent, the weather was G O R G E O U S and I would say we all learned a lot about our home city, the great capital of Texas.










Keep Austin Weird!!

Halloween 2012

We all had another fun Halloween.  Paige was Dorothy and Trey was, well Trey.  We came home with 7 lbs, yes you read that correctly, 7 lbs of candy after trick or treating.  Good golly!

Family Farm Day at the Baums

Our former neighbors invited us out to their farm for a fun Saturday along with a bunch of other families.  They have one dog, three cats, two horses, four cows, six goats, two donkeys and a bunch of chickens and guineas.  For us city dwellers, it was quite the attraction.  They also had so much fun for the kids - pumpkin carving, face painting/tattoos/stickers, pinata, hayride, horse rides and more!  And of course all the BBQ and fixings you can eat.  What was really special was that their donkey had a baby just 2 weeks ago and more unbelievable was that their goat had three babies the day before!  And as if the day wasn't fun enough, we had a Halloween party to go to at night.  We were a bit late and tired so we didn't stop at home to put on our costumes.  There was a DJ with laser lights and I think Paige was in heaven dancing around the whole dance floor and requesting songs.  What an awesome weekend!

Baby goats!  They are tiny like puppies.

Sneak Peek Week

Here are some pics of Paige in her dance class.  She is still a very focused dancer. ;.)







And as always, a little clip of a little dance.

Halloween Fun

We had some fun decorating Halloween cookies and building a Halloween Haunted Gingerbread House.  I am very proud of myself for managing the Haunted House as I am not crafty in the least!  The kids loved it!











BOO!

Baking Cookies

I am not a baker, but I can't resist my little girl's pleas to bake.  This was the second time around for baking oatmeal chocolate chip cookies and I have to say this time was definitely more fun.  Phew!
