I kind of loaded these out of order so you get to see the finished product before the beginning. Rory's pumpkin is the one on the bottom left. Yum yum!
Mine is supposed to be Snow White's poisoned apple. I think it needs a stem.
This is a classic 'Rory concentrating' picture. Sometimes he gets his tongue out too. 
I was trying to get a good picture of me and my patient before I ripped his guts out but I have such a sweet brother that all the pictures ended up having him in it. 
Working hard!
Rory set up climbing ropes on the chimney and we climbed. Except for the part where Rory let me down faster than I wanted to go. And then pulled me back up while I was on the phone. Haha.
Last week I was laid off my job at North Fork Native Plants because it was the end of the growing season. I've been sitting around since then wondering what to do with my life. Luckily I went to yoga with my mom on Thursday and saw Joanne Webster there. She mentioned that her husband Bart was looking for more potato workers because all the high school kids had to go back to school. That's when I decided my life's ambition was to be a potato sorter. So that's what I did. Except most of the time I run the piler. It's been great and I get to work with Laura sometimes! It's dusty.
Adam's achieved double digit status! We had a great family party that included lots of pizza and yummy pumpkin empinadas from taco time. Ruby was there too and she was super cute! I tried to draw Darth Vader but it didn't turn out to well. He looks a little retarded. But it was a first attempt so I don't feel too bad.
We went on a very very small hike to Sheep Falls with Kathleen and her new boyfriend on Saturday. The falls were beautiful and Rory found a hole in the rocks which kept us all entertained for a while. There was snow on the ground! I'm not sure I'm ready for another six months of winter.
On Saturday Laura, Jessie, and I went out to take pictures of the pretty fall colors that finally arrived. Today it snowed. I must have blinked or something because I think I missed fall.
