Loves his Feet

This Little guy loves his feet and chewing on them (his brother enjoyed doing this at his age too).

Fall Time

Close by our home is a free pumpkin patch we can visit. The other morning we went with the cousins and had a good time! There was a baby lamb and the girls LOVE petting him.

A Dress That Spins

Purple Girl loves to dance, especially in dresses that spin when she twirls. Every day she wants to wear a "spinning" dress. We go to her closet and her opinion verses mom's opinion on what a spinning dress is, are quite different. She has several dresses in her closet, but she only wants to wear dresses that spin. So, mom and Grammie took her shopping the other day and we tried to find some "spinning" dresses. We pulled several dresses off the shelf that we thought would "spin." Good thing we had her try them on and try spinning in them, because she quickly would say "No, this is not a spinning dress" to almost every one. 

 BUT, we did find ONE spinning dress! And she loves it

Look Mom, I can sit here...

Purple Girl thought sitting in this Elmo chair would be a good idea.

 Thankfully mom caught her before she tried.

On the Move

Little J is on the move in his walker. He officially is moving forward in it and moving all around our kitchen. He discovered my carrier hanging from the stairs and was on a mission to get it.

School at Cousin's

We have been enjoying having school together with the cousin's one morning a week. Aunt K and myself take turns teaching every other week. This past week was Aunt Fell's turn. While Aunt Fell was teaching the older kids, Busy Bee found a seat on her Aunt's lap.

Sneak Peak

Here is another peak into an afternoon in our home. 

 Big J put this outfit on to finish his school work for the day - 

 he said he wanted to be like his dad all dressed up for work! 

 Purple Girl enjoys coloring and working on stickers.

 Busy Bee - well, her name says it all. 

 She loves to dress up, but not in princess dresses like her sister.

 Instead, in outfits like this: 

 Where was Little J? He was enjoying some quiet time on the floor, 

 until Big Sister found him and thought he made a good seat.

Pumpkin Carving

The kids enjoyed picking out pumpkins with Daddy and carving them.

The Seal

Little J has a way of laying on the floor, on his belly and sticking his arms out behind that remind us of a "seal." He does it so often, that now when he does it, we call it "The Seal." Purple Girl laid down next to Little J the other day and said look at me mom, I can do "the Seal" too. As I got the camera ready for a picture, she said "Hurry mom, this is hard." Not for Little J though - he will lay for quite some time with his arms back and legs a kicking and seems to enjoy this position.

Family Reunion - Family Photos

Best Friends

These three boys sure do have fun together. 

 They were playing at the land this past weekend and enjoying the outdoors!

I Made My Bed By Myself Mom

This Little Girl was very proud of herself for making her bed all by herself. I was proud of her too!

Fun Friday's

A good friend gave me the idea of having fun Friday's during our school year. So, we started this past week. For our first Friday - DONUTS!! Who knew that all kids picked the sprinkled, chocolate donut.

Stocking Hat Season Already

This little guy sure is adorable in his stocking hat!

 I just can't get enough of his smiles, big eyes and warm snuggles.

Saint Louis Fan

Little J sported his Tiger's clothes the other day, today he is sporting his St. Louis outfit!

Ms. Personality

While the older kids were walking through the corn maze at the Apple Orchard, I took the opportunity to snap some pictures of Busy Bee. She loved the game and was showing off her personality as I was snapping photos.

Apple Orchard

We were blessed to spend some time at an Apple Orchard the other morning.

Hide and Seek

I was playing Hide and Seek with the girls the other morning. 

 They ran upstairs and I came upon this scene:

I told them to go hide again and the second time I found:

Not sure they quite get the concept- but boy did they have fun. If only by the pictures you could hear the giggles coming from under the blankets!
