Leaves!

The time of year has come for leaves!  We raked up a little pile and the kids had a blast.

We had a few good days of bootcamp.  Rope climbing!

The kids really wanted to make some cookies one evening.  They LOVE mixing the dough.

All hands in!!

November Daze

A few things I want to remember...

1.  Amelia has gone from calling Sadie, Leely to Seely.  It cracks us up how she has such amazing pronunciation and never even had the baby talk.  It is one thing we have to hold on to with her.

2.  One day I was hugging on Colin and he tried to push me away and said "I wish you didn't have hair it bugs me", ha!

3.  Amelia tells anyone and everyone who leaves our house to "Come back soon!"  It is the cutest thing ever.

To start November  we finished up with some soccer games.  Colin's team went out for ice cream and the boys had a great time eating ice cream and playing in the play area.

We also celebrated Uncle Matt's birthday.

The kids had fun playing on the swing set.

They also celebrated Jake's birthday.

Sadie came by for a visit.

She loves her nephews and niece.

Halloween

Halloween was great this year!  We started the festivities at bootcamp and the kids had a wonderful time.

Sweet little witch

Throwing rats

I barely got any photos of Liam because he was running around so much.  Here is proof!

Kiddos with Anna, they absolutely adore her!

Then it was home for dinner.  We had our usual for Halloween, tacos.  Then we got ready for trick or treating

Ninjas

They were all very excited

Silly kiddos

My little loves

My heart is full

Maybe next year I will get a whole family theme 

Off to their first house

Mission accomplished

This little lady tried very hard to keep up and loved running up to the doors

Eventually these two became tired so we went back to the house while Chris stayed out a little longer with Liam and the neighbors

Liam and Cade finishing up their trick or treating.

The kids were tired and pretty much went straight to bed once they were all home.  They had a fantastic time and I think next year will be even more intense with all three of them!

Pumpkin Carving

Before I start on anything.  Here is a sweet video of Amelia and her Halloween pj's

Sunday before Halloween we carved our pumpkins.  First it was a trip to Home Depot for other items but we did find another perfect pumpkin.  Colin insisted on carrying it.

The kids played and Amelia sported her sense of fashion.

Love them

Scarlett joined in on the play day.

Once evening came we set up our work station

Liam digging out the seeds

Amelia tried it out too

Colin's turn

They were all semi grossed out by it so Chris and I did most of the work...

...but they did try.

Then it was showers and bed.  Yeah for clean babies!

Here are the finished products
