I’m having a hard time keeping up with the old ball & chain, I mean blog this month. The kids get older and life gets crazier. Homework, field trips, class parties and fussy babies are taking their toll on my time to sit idly at the computer.
This photo of Brinley pretty much sums up our feelings about October.
Even though Fall only lasts a few minutes here in CO there were several days of sunshine that allowed us to enjoy the old habits of summer, such as evening bike rides…
We even had our own yard sale. The kids were great helpers and made sure all their old toys looked new again. So new that they had a hard time giving them up.
The kids sold drinks at the sale and raked in $5 each! I forgot to snag a picture of them selling the sodas, so this one will have to do.
Rowan is pretty easy to please. She has discovered her voice and loves to make her presence known.
You know what our favorite thing is? Free stuff of course! No one can pass up free ice cream at Coldstone!
Mmmm….Ooey gooey marshmallow ice-cream.
Here’s a not-so-good habit. I’ve told Drew a million times not to climb the back fence to talk to the neighbor kids. I guess the 261 slivers are a better teacher.
Rowan still isn’t fan of the outdoor woods.
That’s OK, CTR Boy & Girl will save her. Cheddar looks like he is listening for the Jumanji drums calling him back to the wild. Another three-week hiatus may not end as well this time.
We ran out of construction paper the other day, and the kids were itching to do something crafty, so I sent them to the backyard with scissors.
A week passed and we still hadn’t bought any paper. Back to the yard kids!
I think they liked this activity more than cutting paper.
If it’s too cold outside to cut grass there’s usually something else that can be made into a useful pile of confetti. Does anyone use phonebooks anymore?
Rowan is getting cuter and needier by the minute. Teething, immunizations, and dairy make my days look like this…
She does command her subjects to eat every morning from her throne on high.
This is what it looks like after school at our house. Brinley’s first question for Drew is “Did you eat your snack all gone?” If there are any crumbs left in his lunchbox she will eat them. Believe it or not, she gets the same snack at home that Drew gets at school. Maybe it tastes better after it’s been to school and back?
Brinley loves to play with her hair. What girl doesn’t?
I wonder who snuck into the bag of chocolate chips. Hmmmm. It still remains a mystery.
Your kids are too cute, I love the picture of Rowan in the Grass. Ooh, I hate the feel of grass, to this day it makes me itchy. I just love your kids, I wish we got to see them more, but thus is life!
oh my goodness! brinley is going to be fat and happy by her 5th birthday! haha i love her ballerina outfit too:) so cute!
I love the fun little peeks into your days. Thanks for sharing. Its always so fun to see what you guys are up too, and I love stealing new ideas to do with my kids. I think we will have to try the grass idea-especially cause our lawn mower is broken!
You always capture the moment. That’s what I love about your pictures! Like I have always said your kids are to die for!
