Well, October is gone... that was fast! Here are cell phone pictures from last month.
Lazy weekend mornings sometimes include painting in your PJs in the garage :)
The kids had a lot of fun at several birthday parties this month! Including this backyard party! Cole and that giant ball... we have one too, and he loves it!
Ha! Cole on Ella's bike....
Empty cabinets mean kids must get inside!
Ha!
Brrrr. Playing out back on a chilly (perfect!) 65 degree morning.
"Mom, tenderloin for dinner!!"
Cole has figured out how to give himself a boost up onto things!
Cute hair~
Love them
Ready for a morning nap, I think!
Ella crashed one afternoon when I requested she go have some quiet reading time in her room. I thought she looked so sweet :)
Had to be woken up for dinner, and needed snuggles from her new Build-A-Bear that she got to go make with Grandma for her birthday.
Stopped to feed ducks during a family bike ride.
Love them!
Carter has gotten awesome at riding his bike! He loves to ride around the empty school parking lot. Perfect place for laps and lots of practice.
More feeding the ducks.... he is fascinated with them!
Ella thinks Cole needs blush :)
Tired boy, night night!
Big kids playing, Cole standing on his head.... pretty typical!
Getting into drawers......
.....and making a mess!
Riding a rocking horse at my Mom's.
Not so sure!
The kids had a great time riding bikes, scooters, and playing at our neighborhood fall festival.
Cute baby in a baby sombrero!
Ella enjoyed all her birthday gifts! She got to paint her own Elsa bank. :)
Daddy loving snuggles after naptime.
So many super heroes!
This boy still loves to swing!
These were Ella's birthday balloons. Cole loved dragging them all around the house with him!
More birthday gifts!
One day he'll be cleaning up his own messes.... I hope!
Cole loves to play and explore outside right now! He goes running to the back or garage doors anytime someone goes in or out. And if you close it before he gets to it.... whining, crying fit!
Enjoying Mexican food!
And the ice cream after is a bonus!
Looking so big talking on his "phone"
Baking with Daddy
That sweet face!
Eric took the kids to his parent's while I was in Mexico. It was wet, but they still had fun!
Playdoh and Ella's mean face
Eric said he loved stacking bowls!!
Fresh pears!
I got Cole a set of baby Maracas in Mexico. He loved them!
And I got the big kids this Mexican jenga game. Lots of fun!!
So intense!
Carter had a great time at a friend's costume/Halloween birthday party. He got a fun prize for winning the ring toss game!
Broom races
My sweet friend, Lindsay, did an awesome job with his party! 25 6-7 year olds, yikes!!
His prize....a creepy grabber hand.
I got a lot of practice drawing mustaches..... for the whole family!
Carter wore one that I drew on him the next morning for Red Ribbon week. So dapper!
Oh, no! This kid thinks he is big enough to now go DOWN the stairs. Yikes! At least he's on his bottom!
Ella getting serious on her bike!
Busy afternoon and this boy is passed out!
Someone had their first sucker recently!
I won't miss it when they all finally decide this is no longer the best play spot in the house. Makes me nervous!
More birthday party fun at Pump It Up
This was one of those times that Cole insisted on going outside. Eric tried to keep him contained on the patio under the roofline, but he was pretty adamant about playing in the rain. HA!
All wet and he had to be cold. Brrrr!
Enjoying making a mess of his dinner.
Spaghetti squash and meatballs!
