On Friday night, rather than carving the little pumpkin, she drew 3 different faces on the pumpkin, then topped it with cotton balls.

3 Jack-O-Lanterns in 1
Natalie's class went to a pumpkin farm last week and she got to pick out a pumpkin. She picked out a small one, just the right size for her to carry home on the bus.
On Friday night, rather than carving the little pumpkin, she drew 3 different faces on the pumpkin, then topped it with cotton balls.

Little Tails
This is a drawing that Natalie did this evening. She said they are "Little Tails" and they live in the grass.

Halloween Kitty
Natalie drew this cat in her class a couple of weeks ago. We have it posted on our fridge.
It's not a very scary cat is it?
In fact, it looks like a very sweet cat!!
HAPPY Halloween!

My Natalie
I have not posted for nearly a month. Most of it came down to sitting there staring at the screen thinking I didn't really have much to share. A lot of my reflections are done internally, so I guess I either have to feel like sharing, or find something worthy enough to write about.
The other day Natalie asked me to take a picture of one of our dogs Kahlua. She wanted me to print out a photo of him and so that she could take it to her friend at school. This picture is by far one of the most wonderful photos I think I have of Natalie. I have a lot of wonderful photos of her, but this one for some reason really shows what a sweet girl she truly is.
Seeing her face so happy with Kahlua, and so excited to have a picture taken of herself with him, makes me so happy. It got me thinking about how my life has progressed since a key event when I was 21.
As you recall, my first post to my blog outlined my accident I had when I was 21 years old. It changed my outlook on life and daily events. Sometimes it is hard to focus on positive things....things that sparkle. So I've realized that all I have to do is look at this picture of Natalie and realize this: existing the one thing that is most important. Feeling connected to the organic things in life - love, earth, nature, family. If you keep your focus on those things, then positive, happy things are bound to happen.
