Guess they will be voting "NO" on Prop 8!

The girls are playing with their dolls. They have been for hours, dressing and undressing them, feeding them, nursing them, pottying them, etc. A while ago I heard Alex say to Gregorie, "Hey! You wanna get married? Let's get married!" Then just now I heard this exchange:

A: Papa, come here and help with dinner. It's time for our babies to eat dinner.
G: I'm not Papa.
A: Yes, you are. We got married and you are the papa. I am the mama.
G: I'm not a papa! I'm a WEGGIE!

Costume Preview

This is the "pre-made" stuff I bought/had. The white skirts are the under layers -- I bought fabric, to match the PJ tops, to make the real skirts -- with some help from Ada, thankfully! Alex also has a hat and they have one parrot and one feather sword to carry. They also have eye patches but I'm not sure about those...




This is the fabric for the skirts:

And you'll have to wait for after -I got too busy cleaning this afternoon and didn't snap any pictures!

The October Garden

The hanging tomatoes/flowers, still hanging, despite the water issue:





The main beds, notice the giant pumpkin, taking over the oak tree, and the universe!






Love this rouge cantaloupe hanging down in the tomato towers. And the gorgeous bean vines in the setting sunlight.




And the day's harvest:
