Everyday Moments


Today was pic day at school...M was ready to go!

Mr. Man and I ran an errand after dropping M off and now we are playing around the house...(these pics are mixed...some last week and some today...)

After rest time each day the kids enjoy peeking through the railing to see what the middle schooler is doing downstairs...

We have been enjoying our B&As....just been a transition this yr as they get older and as our kids get older...

Carter wants to be a big kid now and walk with everyone to and from the bus stop...Stroller days are over for him I think! Sept. was hard as he learned how to walk with us...but he is doing better now! Here he is playing with his "guys" when a kickball game is going on after school...I love our everyday moments...

Here is M and her "class"...during rest time she often sets up class and teaches (must be genetic!)...Sometimes she will even say, "I'm not finished yet" when I go up to get her up...This was one of those times...I gave her an extra 10 mins to play before going back up again...(I get the troops up 2o mins before we leave for the bus to allow for things like this...)

And then this is a video of Carter playing with some guys this morning...We had a day of REST on Sat...nothing to do, but sit around the house and play....a welcome change for us as we have been busy busy busy....and Mike took it upon himself to rearrange the playroom and rotate toys...Everything is like brand new this morning to the kids! I am grateful for my husband who is "sick in his own disease" (as he says...) Who cleans and organizes on their day of REST?!?!?!?! I love him! :)

Out in the Patch


I think I am finally done with our pumpkin patch pics...It has been a busy week around here...(and after the pumpkin patch I headed north to another bridal shower for a college friend...lots of celebrating going on and lots of reminiscing of the college days! Can't wait for the wedding next weekend!)

I love that going to get a pumpkin is a day full of fun...

Here they are both trying to fig out which pumpkin to pick...lots to choose from!

Hay! Hay! Hay!


We ate our picnic lunch and listened to a little band play and then the kids were off to run and dance....

Then we saw the hay bales!

We must have overlooked them in the past or they are flat by the time we go...

The kids and grownups had fun climbing up and sliding down!

Barrel Tractor Ride


Some sibling love waiting for our turn on the barrel ride!

Carter was old enough to ride this yr too...my babies! Where did they go???

Mike and I love this pic...Captain Serious and Wildman...

Can't believe Carter couldn't even walk this time last year....time flies!

Bang! Bang!


Mallory was the only one who had to pay on free zip code day...not exactly free...but we will take the huge discount for the family! Anyway...with her payment she got to shoot paintball....This was the first year she could actually squeeze the trigger!

M and M walking away after doing some damage... :)

BOUNCE!


The moonbounce is always a highlight at the pumpkin patch!

So many giggles and grins!

Man down! Man down! :)
