October 2019

I am catching up!!! Here's some newer pictures of Ruby Pearl:

 (after a spa day, hence the bow!)

 Trying to teach her to come into the house via the garage/mud room (instead of from the back yard because pretty soon it will be full of snow!) We both sat here for like 15 minutes. She wouldn't even look at me. Like I'm a terrible person for making her come into the house this way! 

Animals are SO WEIRD!

 It's finally sweater weather!

 And she's still trying to get that squirrel!

 At Fall conferences, Ella showed us her rip art self portrait!

 Wedding selfie in a weird basement while we await food because we are STARVING!

Fall Vibes!

 Ruby loves to go for walks! Ella is getting more comfortable taking her on her own!

 Pre-dance class photo op! BOO!

And, Ella wasn't the only one who wanted to jump in the leaves this year! LOL! 

Ruby thinks it is awesome! She tears around the lawn like crazy!

Our pumpkins for 2019 were M&Ms:

Yellow - Jay

Blue - Ella

Green - Sara

I think they all turned out so cute! 

This may be one of my favorite traditions that we do each year!

For Halloween, Ella was Jessie from Toy Story, Ruby was Buzz Light Year and Jay was Woody from Toy Story! Ella and Jay each had the "ANDY" signature on the bottom of their boots, 

but it was too hard to capture in the pictures!

It was a chilly night for trick-or-treating, but Ella went out with a friend in the neighborhood (with Jay too) and had a good time! Everyone helped hand out candy when they returned. Ruby was NOT thrilled with the constant ringing of the door bell, but I ended up gating off an area where she could see me handing out candy so that helped a little bit with the barking and general freaking out. I ate a few Twix stress eating before Jay and Ella got back! A barking dog is no fun

The month of October went by so fast. 

I can't believe it is November and soon Thanksgiving and onto Christmas!
