Camden made outlines of her foot and then used the shapes to form characters.
Many thanks to Mark for scanning the art.

More pictures from Thanksgiving
There is some talk of Cooper getting a haircut. He's got the opposite of a mullet. All business in back. "Mother Nature's Child" on the sides and in front.
Camden is wearing "spacers" on her lower jar. They are kind of like braces. After having two cavity-ransacked teeth pulled, she wears spacers to keep the other teeth from moving into the gaps... so her two adult teeth will have room to come in ...some time in 2012.
She has to be careful about eating stuff like peanut butter which is fine for Cooper. That means more peanut butter for him.
Thanksgiving
It's a Recession Thanksgiving. That means we can still feed stale bread to the ducks. A Depression Thanksgiving is when you use that bread to snare a duck for the holiday dinner.We're not there.
Yet.
And we don't plan to be
It was a chilly afternoon at Point Defiance. The ducks, gulls and crows seemed especially hungry.
We were getting hungry too. And we got fed in a big way at Aunt Lansing's house.
We are thankful for all that we have and, number one, is a loving family.

Mommy and Daddy's birthday
Mommy and Daddy are both celebrating their birthdays today. They were both born on November 23rd. But not the same year. "Not even close," Mommy says. Daddy is 40-something. Mommy is 30-something.
As part of the celebration, Camden got to eat pizza for dinner. Yay! Pizza!
A Day at the Beach
This afternoon, Camden and Cooper went to Owens Beach to move sand and rocks from one part of the beach to another. This is strictly volunteer work. No one pays Camden and Cooper to shovel the beachfront. If you don't understand why they do it, don't worry. It's a generational thing.

Cooper's John McCain costume
Cooper falls asleep after a long night dressed in his John McCain costume. Pictured here is the infamous blue blanket and baba of 'Nilla Milk.His big secret: he's wearing spiderman underpants some of the time.
The Honeymoon is NOT over
Camden and Pumpkin Mumpkin remain as close as any 6 year old girl and 9 week old kitten can be.
Camden reads ( early November)
Camden surprised her Dad by reading TEN APPLES UP ON TOP to him. This is the first time she has ever read an entire book out loud. There are 75 different words in this book, one her Dad remembers reading around the same age.On November 17th, Camden read GO DOGS GO outloud.
Halloween
While Cooper stayed home to hand out candy ( sometimes after sneaking a bite), Camden and her dad went trick or treating. She scored big time as a scary witch...but her dad wishes she got more almond joys
Camden's Birthday Party
Camden invited her friends from North Tacoma Montessori and Washington Hoyt Elementary to her sixth birthday party. Among them, Kalari, Amber, William, Emilia, Emily, Mimi, Kate, Celia, Rita and her cousin Alessio. The kids wrapped each other in toilet paper in a game of "Mummy". After parading up and down the sidewalk, most of the kids sat down for a photo . Camden is a witch and her brother is "Super Cooper".
Welcome to the family, Pumpkin Mumpkin
For Camden's 6th birthday, we bought her a flea-ridden kitten from a mobile home in South Tacoma. Camden decided to call her Pumpkin in honor of Halloween.
Cooper decided to call her Pumpkin Mumpkin.
We bathed her all night in Joy dishwashing liquid until we killed the fleas.
She's a very social kitten, constantly on the prowl, looking for every opportunity to tackle our feet when we walk by.
Her favorite toys are discarded socks.
