The girls named him Leo...

Sunday afternoon, we had our pumpkin carving party...well not really a party, but it's fun to us...








 




We call him Leo and he turned out great!!

Bye Bye Snuggles

We had a very sad night this past Thursday evening when we came home and found Snuggles had died.  Katie immediately started bawling and I just felt so bad for her.  Over a few hours, she would ask different questions about him being in heaven and if he is in pain and so forth.  There was nothing to do but to hold her while she cried and gave her the consoling answers that she needed. 
 
Friday evening, we had a hamster funeral for Snuggles.  Katie decorated a box for him to sleep in...


Look at those sad, puffy eyes over a day of off and on crying while I wasn't even at school because this was also Rylie's field trip day...poor baby!
 His tombstone...we found this rock lying perfectly over the place where I was looking to bury him.  So it was perfect for Katie to decorate and place over Snuggles. 
She took this very hard and still gets sad when something reminds her, but the funeral really helped our soft-hearted little girl.

Kindergarten Field Trip!!

 This past Friday, we had a great day on Rylie's Kindergarten Field Trip to Yesterland Farm (the Pumpkin Patch)!
Above is Rylie and her friend, Cadence!

 Their bus ride was fun...Rylie said they sang lots of songs like "the wheels on the bus" and many others! 
Our first event...the tractor wagon ride!

 Our second event...the roller coaster!
Rylie chose to wait for the second round so she could be in the first cart!

There's my baby and her friend, Layne behind her with her mommy, Amy!
