Pumpkin Walk

A friendly "Grandma" Witch talked with Adon and Collin.

My favorite pumpkin display. It is a water fountain. It reminded me of Aaron, who couldn't come with us.

Pictures after. Thanks Nana for coming with us.

Getting Ready for Halloween

This was so easy and fun. Definitely doing it again next year.

Hide and Seek for Collin

Collin's new favorite hiding spot.

November 11, 2011

So I am skipping a hand full of blog posts to take the opportunity to write 11/11/11. Silly me, I know. I wont' be around for the next one to be here. So happy 11/11/11 day.

A couple of Firsts.

These pictures are out of order but you get the point. So here is Adon's first written letter and Collin's first picture with faces on his people.

Adon wrote a letter to Lexi in response to one she wrote him. Its his first letter. We talked about spacing and such. He always has to underline his name... I guess it makes him feel important.

Daddy helped Collin trace his hand but he drew the "people" himself. He was so proud he wanted to put "lots of gold stars" on it. (fridge magnets)

Boys will be boys.

So I wanted a quiet time break and thought I was safe to sit at the computer for a minute or two to take a breath. The boys were sitting at the table just a few feet behind me coloring, a gift from Aunt Randy. Here is what Adon colored....

...and here is what Collin colored. Such different personalities. I blame all the face painting we have been doing.

Best Deal Ever

So with running and all I've been borrowing a treadmill. When the weather got warmer I ran outside and returned the treadmill. Well, the weather is cold again so what am I gonna do? One day, Aaron and I were browsing in a local sport's equipment shop. We love to look but everything is way out of our budget until we found this. A tread mill for 50$. Never been out of the box. Yippee! Here is a picture of the men in my life putting it together...okay I did help some.

We have a burn pile out back and here are the boys carrying half of the treadmill box to the pit. Such cuties.
