Happy Halloween

So we decided to try carving pumpkins again 
this year and see how J. did touching the 
inside....
 And once again he was excited to carve it....
 Until he realized what he was grabbing 
and then another year of NOT LIKING the
pumpkin "guts"!!!
Our Lady Bug just lounging!!
 A. with cousin T.
 Happy Halloween from 
our Firefighter (didn't think my flash would reflect
off his costume!!) and our Little lady Bug!

Hope everyone had a great Halloween...
I will try to post some of our crawling baby this week!!!

So big....

Lil' miss A.  thinks she is so big
now that she is sitting on her own.
She is starting to get up on all fours 
right now and rocking 
back and forth...
I am not sure I am ready for her 
to start crawling yet...
But ready or not she is trying!!
 Just love her smiles!!
 I must say she is the happiest baby 
and has a smile for anyone that is willing 
to look at her!!

First snow!

Tonight it snowed some and a certain
little boy just could not WAIT
to get out in it and play...
Thank goodness
I had bought him a coat and 
snow pants not to long ago and 
his boots still fit from 
last year.
Only problem...
Couldn't find his gloves....
So we only lasted a short time
before his hands were really cold!!!
But I can see lots of time will be spent
outside this year!!

Fire Fighter Jaxson

All J. says is when he gets big he wants to be
a Firefighter.
So we found a firefighter halloween costume.
So he was wearing it the other day and was going 
to run an errand with me...
And next thing I knew we were at the 
fire station getting a one on one tour!!
 They showed J. every tool they carry and what they 
do and what every button is for. 
We learned A LOT!!
 J. getting to drive!!
 J. trying out the water sprayer. 
He thought that was pretty cool!
 Getting to hold the BIG ax!!
I think his dreams were fulfilled today!!
Thanks to a few great firefighters that 
made a little boys day!!!

Flag Football

J. has been playing flag football 
for the last 3 weekends.
It is 3-4 year olds.
So the attention span is 
pretty short...
J. trying to run by the kid without getting 
his flags taken!
 He is suppose to be running backwards while
looking over his shoulder....
He has the shoulder part!!
 Daddy trying to give him some directions!
 J. kicking the football!

 Warming up!
I must say... I do get a pretty good laugh watching these boys!!

Day 2 of activities!

Day 2 activities started out with some more 
slides and bouncing. 
Then we moved on to face painting 
and arts and crafts.
Ema was the first brave one to get her face painted!
 A. and I working hard on trying to make 
a beaded cross necklace.  Lil A. was a lot of help with this!
 J. getting his face painted for the first time ever!!
 Actually did very good holding still.
 Adi getting her face painted next!
The kids making bandanas!
 A. just waiting to get her hands on something!
 Next we moved onto tie dying t shirts for 
all the kids!  We started out by putting rubber bands 
around the shirts to make patterns.
 Next we dipped the t-shirt in the die
I choose to do this for J. so we did not 
have a complete mess!!
 E. waiting for her turn!

 J. lost interset and moved onto panning for gold!
 S. and A. dying her shirt.
 A. sound asleep!
 J. and A. panning for gold.

 Next J. and J. moved onto golfing.
 Quickly distracted by the fire truck.

A fun day with lots of activities to do!!
