Taylor's Pumpkin Patch Birthday

Authors note: (haha- author is me - haha)  It just took 42 minutes for blogger to upload these pictures.  I do not feel like organizing them in order.  Captions will be short. Deal wit it...

I call this "Life imitating Scarecrow"

 All the little kiddos at Taylor's 4th birthday party munching on some cake.

When T opened this gift she exclaimed "Oh Quentin! It's just right!"  Quentin would be the little blondie to her left.  Such drama....

The gift of the coveted hula hoop.  

Little pumpkin cakes - ala my mom.  Delish.

"If the scarecrow looks right at mom's camera, then we should look the other available directions. Of course!"

"Hey, I'm almost 3 feet tall finally!"

Cannot open eyes all the way for pictures.  

Candy & Trombones

I know - it's a weird title. It may even attract weird people to this blog.  But those are the only two things Taylor seems to care about when it comes to parades.  We went to the annual Maple Leaf Festival parade last Saturday, and yes, we have plenty of candy now and we even saw some trombones. We rode the carousel, and ate a little fair food.  We even learned that Connor has a 'trick': Put an entire tootsie roll in your mouth - finagle it around in there - and spit out only the paper - still in one piece.  Yep, she's got talent.

All in all, I think everyone was happy.
