Jaba's Revenge!! Death by Play-Doh

Even from the grave Jaba was able to pull of the most creative death for his foes. They never saw it coming, those swirly bits of white, red, blue and yellow (sorry, Marcia I tried so hard to keep the colors separated, but to no avail).


Chewy attempted a brave escape, but met the same fate as the others.



They rest peacefully now, back in the action figure bin with Buzz, Iron Man and Optimus.


Would Noah the Hut only leave fallen heros? No, no...a plastic hot dog was in the mix as well?!?


I went to clean up the play-doh tonight after the kids went to bed and this is what I found on the table! Laughing, I called Dave over to come and join the amusement. Not to clean this event up before pictures and already thinking of blog titles, then to find the plastic hot dog? I love to find his little creations, wondering what he's thinking. Maybe food for their final moments of agony? I can't wait to talk to him about it tomorrow. I'll let you know what he says....... stay blogged! I have some other pictures I need to take and post of Noah's world.

(I talked to to Noah this morning and asked him about his creation and he said, "I just used the them to make legs for my bug." Plain and simple was the explanation, no evil plot from Jaba - just legs for his bug. :) )

October Fests


Yay!! My first "Happy Bir-day" (AKA her first birthday party invite!!) (Yay! She gets to wear the hat!)





Here is the Apple Sauce that Dave (yes, he can make apple sauce too) and I made. I gave a little to Gavin to try and he said, and I quote, "this is better than apple sauce from the store"
Score!!







Our most favorite people in the world came for Halloween. Grandma and Briggs & Stratton.
Above: Grandma made flubber, which was absolutely awesome...no, no she is absolutely awesome! Thank your for taking all our calls no matter what time of the day or night it is, no matter the subject matter.
Below: Our other favorites came and we went to Toys R Us on Halloween, they handed out free bags and buckets for candy. There's Noah and Jeoffry, we like giraffes.








Here's my babies. Here's my attempt, I repeat, attempt at creative photography at the zoo. Here's my publicizing that I took my oldest son out of school and brought my kids to the zoo. Do I regret it? No way. Boise Zoo just weeks prior opened their new African exhibit and we went and watched the 2 new giraffes in amazement. Sadly, we learned yesterday that Shinga the shorter giraffe, went back to live with Heavenly Father.
Here's my way of saying Carpe diem!!






See the two big pumpkins that I'm leaning on. Not only did our tiny little garden produce enough vegetables for our family to make a ton of salsa, it also popped out two giant pumpkins! Aren't they beautiful. The vines were spreading so we threw them over the fence and we grew the giant one (far right) hanging down the side of the fence. They make great elbow rests too. I think every kid in the neighborhood has sat on our giants. Don't mind all the finger prints on the window behind the pumpkin carvers, just our way of saying: "Kids welcome here!"





Happy Halloween from the Petersons:
Dave and Kami
Bumble Bee, Snow White and Iron Man

Gavin's Soccer Season

Gavin had a great fall soccer season. Even though he loved playing defense the most, he would usually score 1-2 goals per game. Fun to watch!!


This is at his end of the season soccer party, this is Dylan his good friend on his team.
(Ok, no one ever told me that after your child eats blue ice cream that their pooh would be the same color!! After the double take I told Noah to hurry up and flush it!!"

Coach McKinney told him that he was good at using his knobby knees and stealing the ball from the opponent and running it down the field. (Go knobby knees!!) We love you Gavin thanks for the fun soccer season!!

I Know What Gavin Is Thinkin About!

I grabbed Gavin's papers and started looking through them and
I saw his score on the first page and thought, "good grief ....what did he not understand?" ( not characteristic, his head is not just used for a hat rack, if ya know what I mean ;)

Then I came across this: (click on paper to enlarge)

I just started laughing and gave the paper to Dave.
What do I expect after letting you watch Iron Man?? I knew you loved Iron man but good night.
I wonder what your teacher was thinking?

Noah is awesome. He played his little soccer heart out. I don't know what he liked more:
1. playing soccer or
2. playing with the water bottles and teammates when he was on the sidelines or
3. snacks at the end of the game! It was a good season for him he improved so much from last year.











Soccer, Soccer, I love Soccer!!





















I got me my trophy, chocolate milk and cupcake:
I'm a happy kid!!

Apple Pickin





Last Saturday between soccer games we went to the church's orchard in Caldwell Idaho (approximately 20 minutes from home) and picked Rome apples. These are just a couple of pics of last Saturday. The day was absolutely gorgeous; warm,sunny and crisp.

Noah delighted in stomping every rotten apple that he came across.


Gavin like being on the ladders helping Dave pick. Looks good enough to eat.


Can you guess what my kids ate for lunch that day? So that weekend we made apple crisp, apple pie and pretty much apples for every lunch and dinner. Tryin to keeps those docs away!

We were ghosted!!

So we "Ghosted" some of our friends. On the second house we "ghosted" we totally got busted. We didn't know that their dead bolt was broken so they opened their garage door. Noah peeked his head around and they saw him. They walked over to where we were huddled together and just looked at us in wonderment, but the funny thing is Connor, their son, totally knew what was going on and ran for the hallow ween treats.





Gavin and Noah being so sneaky!

That's Amore

Oh yeah, Autumn, gimme some chin sister!
Tonight "WE" made homemade pizza. We put together our favorite ingredients and we went to town. Gavin, Noah and Autumn loved each getting a section to creat themselves and put on the ingredients they thought would be yummy.



Here is Autumn helping me cut up the ingredients She was pretty good, considering I gave her a butter knife to cut pineapple. :)



Here's Daviano working hard on the pizza pie and the spread.

Preschool Pumpkin Patch

Last week Noah's preschool class went to the pumpkin patch. Here's a picture when he finally got to pick out his pumpkin. He tried to take corn too by filling his plastic bag full of corn one piece per person in the family. I finally convinced him to put it back by asking him if he brought extra money to buy the corn.
Here' Noah's two buddies B and I!!

Here's the corn he tried to heist as he's running through the corn maze still wondering when he can pick his pumpkin.

Noah and the DINO Castle

Last week while Gavin was at school and Autumn was sleeping Naoh and I made a Dinosaur castle. He was very specific about each job the dinosaur had and what they did. I love spending time with Noah he makes me laugh with his creative comments. Like yesterday he was telling me his knee got hurt. Naturally I asked him how and he said, "I slipped on the invisible kiwi." from there the giggles just took over.
