Little Helpers!!

This is what happens when you let your boys load the dishwasher and leave then unattended to do it!! Dish soap doesn't work so well!! Jer unfortunately cleaned up a lot of it before I thought to take a picture, but you get the idea!!

Once there was a Snowman...

The other day I sent the boys out to shovel the snow off of the tramp. They were easily distracted and decided to build a snowman. It took almost all of the snow on the grass to do it but i was rather impressed at how well they did on their own. My favorite part about the whole thing was that they were very resourceful with the face of the snowman. Pine cones for eyes, rocks for the nose, and DEER POOP for the mouth!!! They hurried and took it off when Jer came out with the camera thinking that they would get into trouble!! I just laughed!! All of their snow stuff got a good wash!!

Who are these Kids???

Tate and Carter both got some crazy outfits going on the same day (different times though!) they get it from thier father!;)

Fall Fun!

It seem like the last few years we have missed fall and gone right to winter. I have enjoyed the gradual cool down this year and being able to really have fun with the leaves. Unfortunately our leaves are the worst for jumping in, but we have been up to Huntsville a lot in the last little while and we were able to find some fun ones there. Its amazing how easily little boys (especially my boys) can be entertained with a rope and some leaves! I love how they play so well together (for the most part) and how they can get so creative with their games.

Parades and Trick-or-Treating

This year was really fun for Halloween. All my boys were old enough to understand it and to go door to door by them selves Jer and I just followed on the side walk along side them. It makes me sad to see them getting so big. It didn't take much to please them either, we hit both grandmas, and a few houses around our neighborhood and they were done! Works for me especially on a school night!
The end of our trick or treating route, as evidence by Cole not wanting to wear his costume anymore!

This picture makes me laugh because its a side of Jers Dad that doesn't come out very often!!

The Indian, the Clown and the Motorcycle Man
The school parade, it lasted about 10 minutes because the kids seriously ran through the gym, I was lucky enough to have the boys slow up for a minute to get a clear picture!! They had some fun parties after and came home with lots of crafts and more junk food!!

Halloween Programs

Carter and Cole both had programs this year. (Sorry Tate you get the shaft in Kindergarten!) I was shocked that Carter was happy to do all of the actions to the songs and he even told a Joke.... "What did the boy ghost say to the girl ghost?" You Look BOOOOtiful! He said it quiet, but he said it. He gets shy in front of people but he did really well.

Mrs Stacey and one of Carters best buddies Davon.

My sweet Grandma got drug to all of the boys events with me, she cant see but she is a trooper to come. There was a little girl in a yellow dress (you can see it a little in the back ground) She was the only thing that my Grandma could see. My Grandma had her spin and spin, it made me laugh!

Motorcycle Man and Captain Underpants!

Here he is on full get up! I made him take the mask off so you could see his cute smile!

Cole had his first piano recital, he seems to be enjoying it. He was pretty excited about the program, he even got to wear his costume. All of my pictures are a blur because he ran to the piano and back to his seat!

Pumpkin Patches and Carving

Sad to think that October has already come and gone. Between the 3 boys and field trips we had several trips to the pumpkin patch. I made a trip up without Jer and got suckered into some of the biggest pumpkins the boys have ever(and probably will ever) get. But they sure had fun picking them out!! But lots of pumpkins means lots of carving!! My mom had her normal scavenger hunt but because she was going to be out of town we just got to hunt and do crafts. We did get to carve some and the Terry's, the kids always love the dry ice in the drink and I think the Dad's like it more because they get to do dry ice bombs. I was not packing the big pumpkins back into the car so we had to carve those later at the house. The boys didn't mind, I think Carter likes drawing on the pumpkins more than carving them. Gotta love Halloween!!
