Gracie's take over

We enrolled Jack into a Soccer class this Fall for 3-5 year olds. Jack was one of the smallest and youngest- but we knew he wouldn't care. On the first day, I sent Jack out to play with the kids and brought a stroller and toys for Gracie (since she hadn't even turned two yet), thinking she would just sit quietly on the sidelines. However, she watched for about five minutes the first week and then marched right in the middle of practice, and never considered coming back to the sidelines again. It became HER class even though some of the boys were more than twice her size. She became the little mascot very fast and everyone called her "peanut." She played the whole season barefoot and happy.

Christmas in October


We got so lucky! Our neighbors were cleaning out their garage one day and we were at the right place at the right time. A few of the boys on our street have these Jeeps, and Jack has been drooling over them since we moved here. However, one of these boys decided that he was too old for them, and gave it to us! Jack now rides it everywhere, and we take it with us when we go to my parents, the farm, or anywhere he can ride it. When we go for walks now, I push Gracie in the stroller, and he rides behinds me. He looks like and old man running his errands. Nothing could have made Jack happier. Gracie will only ride with him if she has her helmet on. Smart girl.

Halloween

We love Halloween! We have enjoyed it everyday this month. We are sad to see it go.

Brigg and I were the Blue Man Group (thank you Wing and Alli)



Passing out candy after Trick-or-Treating was just as fun. Jack told everyone to "say thank you" after he gave them candy.

The Please Touch Museum!

We had to go back. We have missed it too much. Callie and I made a day trip to Philadelphia, and had a great time!

The kids really wanted Goldfish in the car, but all we had was one big bag. So, we used my diaper trash bags for their personal containers. Very funny.















Every mothers dream- 4 sleeping kids and a long ride home!

The Farm

Last week we discovered the FP Farm all over again. The Farm during the Fall is beautiful and we are loving it! We have had a lot of fun with the miniature horses!








I love Halloween books!

My kids usually enjoy reading books everyday. However, they are addicted to Halloween books and it's amazing. These two sit in Jack's bed for thirty minutes at a time (for my kids, that is a small miracle), many times a day, and QUIETLY read these books. I don't want Halloween to ever end!
