Perfectly Pleasing Pumpkins

Well, it was a nice day Thursday. We went to the dentist and all three girls did great! Dog Lover is planning on braces by spring time, Nature Girl is doing well with her many new teeth and little Princess Tiger was a little nervous but did wonderfully at her first dentist appointment ever! What a great dentist our girls have. I sure don't want to lose her. Afterward, we went to the pumpkin patch. It is a happy tradition of ours and it makes the best autumn pictures. The girls were so excited. They really wanted to buy a dozen or so but I have a strict rule that we don't spend too much money on things we cut up, let rot, and then throw away. One of the funniest things was how Nature Girl and Princess Tiger played with the Pumpkins. They wiped them off with wet cloths, taped paper eyes on them, and put them to bed with blankets and pillows. Thankfully, no pumpkins were mushed in the playing of this game. One day this week we will cut one of those pumpkins and wait to see if it too, will develop cavities before Halloween.

Nature Girl's organizing order!

The very organized Nature Girl with little sis Princess Tiger.

I am so proud of my nature girl! She went into her room last week, and completely of her own accord, organized her drawer space so that all of her shirts are rolled and put into two layers. We haven't always seen eye to eye about cleaning up. She used to get spanks for not picking up after herself, and I would be lying if I said we don't have problems occasionally now, but I see in her a real effort to do a good job on this cleaning up thing. When she is going to clean, she wants to do it from the roots up. If it has to be halfway, then it doesn't count. Hence, Tuesday night's complete organizing of the drawers. Just check out these pictures.
