Winter coats already



Nothing like a quick game of the fishing game. 

Ready for trunk or treat at the church. 2 Bats and a Bat Catcher. 

The boys playing games at the church.

Alex can now count and write all the numbers 1-100! He is pictured here writing all the numbers from 1 to 100. He is loving school and is doing great. His reading is getting better everyday.

Eliza is by far the messiest kid while eating.

Evan is loving swim class. Funny thing is that the 2 other boys in his class also have green goggles and find themselves quite funny. Mr. Spenser the teacher has his hands full with these three. 

Eliza and Evan enjoying the mini marble run I made them.

After MOPS Evan put on a puppet show for me. The dragon blew fire on the wizard and then flew off was basically the premise of it. :)

Eliza's mismatch walking Alex to the bus attire. Train gloves, boy shoes, raindeer hoody and purple hat. :)

I was walking through the library and noticed Eliza and Evan reading to each other. It was super sweet to walk in on.

Bed time for the kids and reading books with daddy. 

Cuddles with mommy before Alex gets on the bus. :)

Eliza and Evan playing a duet. 

Eliza and Evan and I made a trip to a cidar mill. Yum!

More cuddles with Mommy.

Pumpkin picking. Eliza kept falling down with all the vines all over. Sad to say that was quite entertaining. :)


Alex has wanted us all to get into our bed at night before bed. Mike is now discussing a purchase of a king sized bed. :)

Alex reading to Mike and Evan. He's doing so great at it.

Daddy made a super awesome marble run for the kids. with a giant box to catch the marbles. 

Eliza my goofy girl.

Pumpkin carving.

Admiring my work.

Finished product.

Dr. Evan

Eliza does not sit still in the cart anymore. It might be time to let her free, but I'm not sure I'm ready.

My first harvest of carrots. All of them were about the size of my finger. The kids came in from raking leaves with Mike and came over and popped them in their mouth like they were candy and asked for more. :)

Mike walked down to get Alex from the bus one day with the kids and he noticed Evan's coat looked a bit off. Turns out I'd been squeezing him into a 24m coat.... he's in 4t now. Ooops. But ain't he cute?

Fun in the leaves.



So when I drive the kids to bus stop when it's raining they tend to climb into the front seat and play with every button they can touch... so I put on a movie instead. The boys were content watching Shaun the sheep, but Eliza wasn't having it.

Evan at his Halloween party.

All the kids that attended.

Alex at his Halloween party. HE's in black in the middle of the picture.

A big shout out to my dad for watching Eliza all day so I could go to the boys parties and get these cute pictures. 

The trick or treating crew.

My friend Sara and her two sons joined us. She was the Man with the Yellow hat and her son Alex was George. Jason was a ninja. 

My neighbor took this picture. 

Our pumpkins turned out great. 

Eliza now crawls into the boys bed for naps... so I turn out the light for min and let them 'pretend' before I remove her and put her in her own bed.

Eliza loves playing doctor now. She is giving Evan a shot.

Checking my heart/lungs.

Checking Daddy's temperature. 

We went up for our Nephews birthday this month. They have a trampoline that the boys took full advantage of and Eliza enjoyed their cozy coop. 

Uncle Dave even gave the boys a few jumps. :)

Evan got the honor of trying on Uncle Dave's hat.

And Davey turned 13!! Hard to believe I met Davey 10 years ago!

Eliza loved the bumpy cake. She had seconds.

I've started rocking Eliza to sleep at nap time. I'll miss these moments. She's so warm and cute.

This is how you vote when you have 3 little people. Feed them snacks and have your ballot already filled out so you just have to fill in the boxes.

Eliza watching the election results on the TV with Daddy.

Evan likes to sleep in the ditch of his bed. 

School photos are in!

First snow of the year. It was a cold wet walk to the bus.

Eliza looking cute.

We built little and big snow men because it was such great packing snow. We also had a healthy snow ball fight. 

Alex and Evan went sledding in the back yard on the dusting of snow on Sat. :)

Eliza's first pigtails. :)

 
Evan doing "homework" or coloring.

Evan felt the need to hold his tie out of the way while working on is water wow board. 


Eliza looking cute.

And lastly.... Eliza looking cute.


Keeping Busy is our middle name

We joined some friends for bowling, turns out the boys really enjoy it. Evan is already perfecting his form. Eliza tries really hard to get ...
