The Patrickisims

#1 Never expect things to be easy.

#2 Leaving Katelynn or Abigail alone invites disaster.

#3 Never give up, never surrender.

#4 Even though life is what you make of it,there is only so much you can do with finite resources.

#5 You are only as sick as you let yourself believe.

#6 Just because you can do something, does not mean you should agree to do it. (Jed's new work motto) :-)

Old Halloween




I was sure that we had posted Halloween, but apparently not. We had the great blessing to be able to go to Disneyland with all our Patrick family the week before Halloween. So Kate and Abbie got to dress up (with Aunt Tia) and trick-or-treat in Disneyland. Then we came back to Paragonah and they got to trick-or-treat with the Barton family. We were not lacking in candy for a while. Katie went as Jessie the yodeling cowgirl (thanks to Grammy and all the costume fixes) and Abba was Tinkerbell. Before we left we made sure that we carved the pumpkin we grew in our very own garden. Katie named him Rudolph (she seems to like that name) because he had a nose that glowed.
