Too Cute

Our neighbor took these close-up shots of the kids and I just wanted to put them up. They are too cute!

A Diva in Training

Isabel has fallen in love with make-up and nails. She saves her money to buy these cute little press-on nails.

This week she created Ibby's Beauty Salon. She loves doing make-up and nails for others, but on this day she let me get her all dolled up.

So here she is, a diva in training!

It's Pumpkin Time

Our pumpkins enjoying a beautiful Fall day

A few weeks ago we headed out for our annual Fall trip to the farm. This year our neighbor and his 3 year old daughter decided to join us and so we all braved the 5 acre corn maze with kids in tow. The kids did remarkably well, walking the whole way and we finshed the maze solving all of the clues! After that we headed into the huge pumpkin patch and chose two beautiful round pumpkins. The kids had fun washing the pumpkins, riding the tractor, watching the pumpkin cannon, and playing in a cute little hay filled playhouse.

When we got home we carved our pumpkins. Isabel chose a design to match her shirt and Josiah went with a pirate pumpkin. They turned our great! Jason should go professional.

Here are some pictures of our fun day!

We love the farm!

Homeschool

Josiah is really not into our homeschool lessons. Even though they include art, games, and other superfun activities. I can usually only get him involved if it involves bribery. The one good thing is that he keep himself entertained, so at least my other child who is interested in school can stay engaged. Here is a video of some of the many games he plays so that he doesn't have to go to "school".

Now you see her, now you don't

Isabel wanted to create some camoflauge yesterday. I tried to make it easy and have her blend into something white, but she wan't satisfied. So after hours of painging, drying, and painting again, here are the results. She did all the painting, so I am pretty impressed by her will to get something done.

Now you see her

Now you don't

Fun with Grandma and Gramdpa

Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for coming to visit, we had a great time!

Family Vacation

Well, Grandma and Gramdpa took us on a wonderful vacation to a beach house Olympic Peninsula. The actual town was Sequim (pornounced Skwim) and it was a ton of fun. We were able to hike, bike, and explore the Dungeoness Spit. The house was beautiful and I was thankful for the domestic break as Uncle Ian did all the cooking. Here are some pictures for the adventure.

Ibby found a new pet and was so sad she couldn't take the slug home

The waves were so loud and literally feet from us

Three Peas in a Pod

Well, fall is here and it's COLD! So out comes the winter gear. The kids and I had fun playing dress up with some furry fashions.

Hmmm...wonder who Josiah looks like?

The cutest snowbunny in town!
