...He's Alive...

He's a real person...

Here Comes Winter...

Well, winter is definitely here, which means there will be lots of playdough making in the house since outside is no longer an option, at least not for longs periods of time anyway. Here are some shots of the older boys all engrossed in it. They love this stuff! But man-o-man, I am finding it EVERYWHERE. I think it just keeps multiplying...

If anyone has any other fantastic indoor activities for crazy children please, I'm begging you, let me know. I have just started with "school" so they are writing thier names and learning to read, but that all lasts about 10 min before they are ready to move onto the next project. I'm runnin' low on ideas... any help is much appreciated... really... anything... anything at all :)

Cowboys...

Well, halloween was a hit. We just took them to the mall, we walked around for about 13 minutes and got a small amount of candy (that they will NEVER finish... I had to throw out last years from the candy jar to put this years in it... I'm one of those mean moms who doesn't give them too much sugar. For no reason other than that it makes them crazy. They think cottage cheese and applesauce is dessert). Here are a few pictures...
Here's the finished pumpkin project...It's BLUE from Blue's Clue's!
Our little gator. (Thanks to Megan for sending this uniform back before Eli was born, even though it went against every bone in your body).

Yeehaw cowboys! After we got about half way through the mall Eli started saying, "trick or treat, are we done now?" to all of the people handing the candy out. It started looking like we were forcing him to get the candy just for us, which is not true at all... well, at least not entirely true... what 3 and 2 year old needs snickers?!?!

Pumpkin Patch...

Here are some pictures from the Pumkpin patch... it was so fun. And actually REALLY cold. But thats not really important enough to write about... :)
Playing in the leaves... just asking for crazy drippy noses and runny eyes, but it's just too much fun not to do. You have to make some sacrifices, ya know?

Coloring thier pumpkins... with washable markers so it just wipes right off and they can start all over again from scratch. (safer than a knife I thought)Funny faces with daddy...

A family picture, minus Canaan who was screaming his head off from hunger pangs... don't worry, Aunt Torri was feeding him his bottle.

And we'll be swangin'...

And here is one of me and Canaan. Proof he really was there with us!!!

Thats all... no time for full details... trying to get some work done :)
