Don't know if you know...but this is how the cool people sleep :-)

Christmas story by the Kerrigan kids

Christmas project #2 - Cookies!

Our friends Piper and Simon came over this morning to do some cookie making with us.  can you believe that Megan has only been working for about 1 minute...yet is all covered in flour??

And has also eaten a decent amount of cookie dough!!

Simon and his gingerbread man

Okay, so side note.  There are two types of suger cookies unbenownst to me..a suger cookie AND a suger cookie CUTOUT.  Yep, I made the first...so those good looking cookies down there....they ended up looking like big blobs of nothing.  ahhh good times....

Buttercream frosting made by Piper

We went all out this year and decided to do some real decorating, it took a bit longer than your dip and spread variety but they turned out really good!

Wreaths for you Dad!

They are all wrapped up and ready to send to Moody for their Christmas party!  Thanks Piper and Simon!!

Christmas project #1

Ready in our awesome new aprons, to make gingerbread houses!

Who's excited about candy??

Heaven on earth :-)

Megan's final product

Ian's was a whole other story....

Multiple rooms and even smoke coming out of the chimney!

The builders and their dream homes :-)

Trial run

Well I am clearly not the pro that Aunt Shirley is, as I couldn't even figure out how to do more than one picture on a slide :-)  But here goes ....

Fish please?

So last night as I put Megan to bed she wanted to do her praying first, so she closes her eyes, folds her hands, and prays:

"dear God, thank for food, please help mommy and daddy to feel better (we are not sick, she just learned that one from cousin Joel :-)), help mommy get fish, help daddy get fish, and help meggie get fish. aaaamen."

I guess I don't need to tell you she is very excited about getting a fish at some point.  She is currently saving up pennies in her Monkey Bank to buy a 28 cent goldfish at walmart, as she says "to hold in mine hand".
She is 3 cents in at this point...she gets a choice of candy or penny when she goes potty in the toilet :-)  In her defense... she isn't much for going to the potty yet :-).

Time for change....

Sorry for not blogging all summer...here are some catch up pictures.

Our family picture at Green Bluff

Mom and Dad, and Molly and Eric visited for the pumpkin festival.

Tractor ride!

Playing in the mud is better than picking pumpkins!

To say Megan has a love for animals is a severe understatement.  She is ecstatic to spend any time with animal and loves to ride horses.

Kitty face!

Hanging out with Daddy while he works, eating carrots out of the garden.

Shooting guns with Joel...he picked up a gun and Megan immediately ran to get her trusty can of tomato paste to shoot with.....hmmmmm odd :-)

 Watching "Cars" with their Moncheechees.  Thanks Mom!

Visit from cousin Micah..oh and Molly too :-)

Now...for the change part of this blog.  Due to many tangles and tears, I decided to cut Megan's hair.  It was sad to say goodbye to her beautiful curls!

First cut...

The bottom is done...

Then I made a BIG mistake and cut way to short on one side....

So we called in the professional...Thanks Liz for coming to the rescue!

Finished product...So short but it will be easier to handle.

Bath time....cleaning up their bath crayons.

Snuggle bear

Thanks Aunt Shirley for the cool kalidiscope picture of Megan kissing the pony!!
