Punkin's

Since it was Columbus Day today, Eric was off! So, we took the boys to a local farmer's market to pick out pumpkins and to get a few pictures of them in a "fall like" atmosphere.



This was Brandon's punkin'
Connor's punkin'

After we got back from the farmer's market, the boys were CRAZY with their slide. They played for a while, we put them down for a 45 minute rest while I worked out and then made dinner. We had grilled chicken, avocado, crackers, and a cookie. Well, Eric and I just had chicken, and the boys ate the rest. I turned mine into a sandwich to take on the road to class. While I was in class, Eric and the boys played with the slide again. They are getting more and more daring and nimble. I'm sure the days of stitches are coming.

Head first...the best way to slide!

Brandon has figured out how to jump. He likes to squat and then jump up when he's on the ground. He figured out how to jump off the bottom of the slide today. Buckets of fun!
This is the new way he likes to climb into the slide. Heaven forbid he use the DOOR. He climbed in there for the first time today, and all it took was ONE TIME and he had it mastered.
The boys love to hug! Here are a few pictures of them hugging each other. So sweet.

They are the sweetest kids ever! They hug all the time, rarely cry or fuss, and are genuinely happy to be doing whatever! They go with the flow 99% of the time, and that makes my life very easy breezy!

These are the best pictures!!! I love the backrounds.

I know they will love the slide. Especially this winter when they can't play outside.
