The Boys have been loving the Raspberries all summer long, but I think they'd agree they taste especially good when they're cold and freshly washed by rain!
On our way to pick up the Big Christmas present for the boys, we saw this stop sign. Elliott Smith is Adam's favorite musician, and where Deegan's middle name (Elliott) came from, so we had to have a pic!
I have decided that during the warmer months, I may just install a porta potty and leave the boys in the backyard with some sleeping bags, they can live off the land for months! :-) Maybe just on the naughty days!
We had more apples this year than any of the years past. I gave away about half of them, left a ton on the ground to be thrown out because I didn't have time for them, and still got 32 quarts of apple sauce! Everytime Griffin goes outside he finds another apple to eat. I think Deegan has been helping some because he always seems to find the ones with no worm holes, luckilly!
Adam's mom throws a Halloween party every year for the kids (and adults I guess). While we waited for the "party" to start, the kids played "Just Dance". Deegan LOVED it and Griffin even joined in on the dancing!
Posing for a picture. I guess he was so into dancing that he just couldn't stand in a normal standing position!
Even though there's a whole room full of toys at Grandma Powell's house, Griffin's favorite toy is the wooden duck!
On sunday (Oct. 30) I decided maybe we should do SOMETHING with the pumpkins on our porch (we got 5 from our garden). They were too small to carve, and I was out of kid paint, so we improvised with our Mr. Potato Head parts. I think they turned out pretty dang cool. I'll probably be on the look out for cool potato head parts for all of the next year!
Halloween morning my friend Krista and her kids came over to play and make SLIME! It was really gross, but super fun!
Trick or Treating (this pic is super blurry, but I still think it's cute)
TOTing this year was super fun. Krista and her husband joined us and the boys and girl had a blast! Griffin and Annie were more in to it than the older boys I think! Both were very protectinve of their candy and didn't want to get back in strollers once they were out! They were polite though. Griffin kept putting candy back in the people's bowls and even signed thank you at a few houses! We were definately ready for bed when we got home, but it was fun while it lasted!
