Happy Halloween

The Hunter getting ready to swat the Bumblebee.










Tonight after we went trick or treating, we dropped the girls off and then us boys and parents went on a hayride. It was a lot of fun and we got tons of candy. We rode in the wagon for almost two hours and stopped at several houses to trick or treat. I hope we get to go again next year.

Making a mess


Today Laken and I were playing in my room, making a mess. Laken dumped all of the stuffed animals out on the floor. Too bad she's not old enough to help pick up the toys yet.

Tackle


Laken has become quite the little bully. Anytime I lay down on the ground she thinks she has to tackle me. I think she's gonna be a bruiser.

10 on Tuesday

1. Man it is chilly outside this morning. I love this time of year. Wish I could just sit out on the deck with my cappuccino and relax.

2. Well, the time has finally come. This Saturday I will be running my very first 5K. I'm excited. Hopefully it will be cool that morning.

3. I still have tons of baby stuff to sell. Anyone who needs anything, please contact me. I have all sorts of toys and equipment and TONS of clothes.

4. I'm extra tired this morning. I don't think I slept very good last night. I remember waking up several times with weird dreams and this morning my neck is a little stiff.

5. Laken has started walking quite a bit more now. Before she would only do it if we coaxed her. Now she will just stand up and take off. She thinks she's pretty big stuff.

6. We are STILL working on the potty training with Grayson. He does really good if he has underwear on. Unfortunately, school won't let him wear underwear until he's able to consistently tell them when he needs to go. This is tough because when he has a diaper on, he's not very good at telling someone he has to go b/c he knows he can just go in the diaper.

7. This weekend we will be making apple butter. It's a huge chore, but fun to spend time with the family. That means Pumpkin Fest is only 2 weeks away. That is probably my favorite weekend of the year. Hope to see everyone there.

8. I can't decide on Halloween costumes for the kids. They're both too young to request what they want to be so I get to decide.

9. I need to start Christmas shopping soon. I've done really good at making lists so far, but haven't bought anything. I don't want to wait until the last minute.

10. Can I go back to sleep???

A weekend of fishing


This weekend we went up to the farm fishing. Mom and Laken stayed at the cabin, but I got to go out in the boat with the boys. The big fish that we caught was 60 pounds, it was much bigger than me. I can't wait to go again.

10 on Tuesday

1. I'm such a slacker. I really do have some current pics of the kids. I will try to post them this weekend.

2. R.I.P. Patrick Swayze!

3. R.I.P. Ruby Spry, she was an amazing cook.

4. I don't feel so hot today. My throat has been sore for 2 days now and my ears don't feel to hot either. I think it's just allergies, but there's so much crap going around, who knows.

5. As of November 1st my mom will be retired. Wish it could be me.

6. Laken has started taking some steps. The problem is, she thinks she can just take off running and she lets her belly get ahead of her.

7. It's starting to feel like fall outside. I love this time of year. It seems to be the busiest for us, but I love all the family events and cooler weather.

8. Can't wait for Pumpkin Fest, Branson, Thanksgiving and then Christmas.

9. I really need to have a garage sale. I have tons of baby stuff, boy and girl, to get rid of. If anyone needs anything, please get in touch with me. I have clothes, toys, baby gear...

10. Can't live without my morning cappuccino. Especially this time of year.

Messy girl

Laken LOVES to eat. She's a bottomless pit most of the time. She loves to feed herself, but makes quite the mess.

Laken thinks she's big stuff

Laken has been climbing on everything. She thinks she's big stuff now. She's also taking some steps. Before we know it, she will be all over the place.
