Another death...

Not long after losing Janet, the cricket, we lost another pet. Our triops (www.triops.com) named Theodore died soon after Janet. They live 30-90 days and he was definitely closing in on 3 months. He was an odd, but interesting, creature.

He's buried next to Janet.

Obama!

About a week and a half ago, Bug started asking questions about all of the election signs/ads she'd been seeing. We answered them the best that we could. She was quite mad that children could not vote. Thankfully, I had noticed a sign at the local library. They were letting kids vote last Saturday. Off we went. Bug was so excited. They had a party after they counted the votes. Obama had about 75% of the kid votes.

This morning, instead of telling her the news, I handed her the paper. In this shot, she's trying to figure out exactly what the headline means.
Here she is after we told her what it meant.

Halloween

Bug had a grand time on Halloween. Earlier in the week she did some trick-or-treating at a local college. On the big night, she went out with her dad when he got home from work. They hooked up with two friends and their parents and got plenty of candy. Here she is in her costume. I knit & felted the hat and candy bag.



This was taken over the weekend. Bug was raking and decided she needed some eye protection. I can't explain the rest of the outfit...
