TODAY WAS..

I know.  

I've been slacking again.

I'm sorry.  

Anyway, here is today in pictures.

Thankful Turkeys.

I asked Travis what he was thankful for, so I could write for him.

I asked him first, before anyone else even discussed it--I was pleasantly surprised at his answers.

I thought I might have to explain a bit, but no.

He shot off 7 things right off the bat!

4 Finished Thankful Turkeys

A trip to the library.

Dinner (hot ham and cheese sandwiches) and granola bars baking.

Of course there were other things happening as well.

What did you do today?

1 YEAR

Time flies!

Little boy is one year old!

20 lbs and 30 1/2 inches tall.

More to come soon.

CHAOS AND DISORDER. . .

 . . .nearly always accompany construction.

This is certainly not major construction.

However, when the room does have to be empty and holds all the toys in the house and is the main play area..ummm, well, let us just say that right now things are a bit disorderly and cramped.

The room was there, we are just in the process of closing it up and making it insulated etc.

A coat of primer..and waiting for the windows.

Progress..slow and steady.

LA MANZANA

La Manzana:  Apple.  A fruit.

Waaaay back..September? I think?

We went apple picking.

We actually went apple picking two or three times.

This is from the first time.

I don't think I took pictures the other times.

Enjoying homemade ice-cream UNDER the table.

It was a hot day and that is where the shade was.

Silliness.

Did you participate in any fun Fall activities?

FIELD TRIP

Mid-October, had us attending a fire prevention presentation.

It helps when you have an "in."

We invited along several of our local homeschooling friends and had a decent turnout.

Demonstration.

How heavy is that headgear?

The kids had a detailed tour of each of the three trucks and the tools that they carry.

We ended with juice, firehats and goodie bags to bring home.

Thanks Firefighters!

We had a great time!

SHARING

They bicker and fight just like any other kids,

but they also love each other and show it in so many little things.

I love capturing moments like these.

JUST FOR FUN

I mentioned in the previous post that Jared and I hung out at the birthday party.

It was at a horse farm.

In a barn.

Jared does not walk yet.

He was content for a little while in the stroller, but after that he was just squirming to get out.

Did I mention that we were in a barn?

There were dead mice on the ground.

In the party room there were a few chairs.

A chair and a balloon kept him happy for quite a bit.

My silly boy is growing up and starting to look like a big boy.

Rian's hat was along a source of entertainment.

Silly boy.

Not great pictures, but I enjoy them anyway.
