MISS KARLIE/HALLOWEEN

Karlie and her American Girl doll all ready for Halloween.


































 Michelle painted and decorated this pumpkin for a contest at school. I think it should win but she says they never do.

Kim and Abby came over for a photo shoot yesterday.  She looks like a model in this picture.

After taking pictures Kim, Tracy, and Melvin took Abby to a pumpkin patch.

FALL

 Our trees are beginning to turn a little.

SQUIRRELS/HICKORY NUT AND SCALY BARK TREES

We kept seeing squirrels underneath a tree that is in our neighbor's yard but almost on the line between our houses. Finally,  Melvin went to see what they were gathering and came back with a nut. I told him that is a scaly bark. They are really hickory nut trees but in Northeast Mississippi where I grew up, we called them scaly barks. The squirrels are in heaven with all those nuts. They bring them back to the brick wall around our patio and eat the nut and leave the shells on top of our wall,  Knowing our neighbor, she probably planted the tree just for the squirrels.

 If you look closely you can see a nut in the squirrel's mouth.

MISS ABBY/KARATE TOURNAMENT

Abby's 1st tournament and she earned two medals.

THE HIDEAWAY

They just opened a new HIDEAWAY Pizza in N Little Rock. The first location outside of Oklahoma. It is like they followed us to Arkansas. The original Hideaway was located in Stillwater, Oklahoma. Tracy was invited to the soft opening because she is an alumni of Oklahoma State and now lives in a suburb of Little Rock.She was allowed to bring extra people. So Melvin, Kim,  Abby and I also went.

Their famous fried mushrooms. Abby was not a big fan of them but she did like their pizza and the desert.

FALL

Fall is definitely in the air, but the trees are not really beginning to turn at all in Central Arkansas.  The cooler temperatures are nice though.  We have set a few mums around but probably won't do a lot of decorating this year.  I hope to get Abby over for a photo shoot later later on in October.
