Happy Halloween from the Macks of Oz!

This was our first year making Jack-O-Lanterns. The girls designed them online and I printed out a stencil and carved them. They were very forgiving when they were not exactly what they designed. These girls are the Best! Maya Ruth designed the one on the right. The pumpkins are both girls.
I thought they would enjoy scooping out the goop inside - not so much. :)





Mimi got in on the fun as the Wicked Witch. The girls dressed as Dorothy and Glenda the Good Witch. I dressed as Aunt Em- I am waiting for a friend to email a picture of all of us. I will post it asap. Here are a few for now:






The Cowardly Lion

Rosh Hashana Dinner at Mimi's

some Hanukkah Pictures

Well as you know, we are doing Hanukkah now. I have not been taking enough pictures. Here are a couple.

Back to the ZOO with Mimi

This time both girls got to come to El Paso to pick Mimi and the dogs up from the airport. Luckily, the storm that was threatening just kept the sun away, and we had a wonderful visit to the zoo.





Maya Ruth and Lucy said their favorites were the elephants and the sea lions.




But the prarie dogs were very cool too, and not afraid of us at all.


Can you see those turtles?



What a fun morning!
