Avery fell sound asleep at her first party - a Tigers Playing in the World Series Party...I would have slept too if I could since they have been losing so badly.

10-26-12

 
The kids got to dress up early and go trick-or-treating at my office today.  Avery is a cute little princess Leia.

10-25-12

 
The boys help Grandpa rake his leaves.

Jake woke up with the stomach flu, so Daddy stayed home to help us out.  Little did he know that meant Joel, Avery and I were going to ditch him and get as far away from the house as possible!  Thankfully it was AMAZINGLY warm (70's!!!) and we could spend a lot of time at the park.

The girls in the house.

10-22-12

 
The boys have been trying to "use the force" on me when they want me to do stuff.  Jake likes to say, "Mom, I'm forcing you."  It cracks me up!

10-21-12

 
Jeremy just lets Joel drive his car in our street.

10-20-12

 
Jake likes playing with Avery's toys more than she does!

10-19-12

 
We have had an invasion of woodpeckers lately.  There is one little guy (white head and black body) that has been pecking our deck.  I've seen this red-headed guy visiting our feeder a couple of times now too.

10-18-12

 
It rained and rained and rained all day...so I gave in and let the boys play with Play-Doh.  This is the reason that they are very rarely allowed to use it.

10-17-12

 
We quickly went to the pumpkin farm in between rain storms.  This is our only day to go!

10-16-12

 
Joel has been copying EVERYTHING that  Jake does.  It's really cute, but usually drives Jake nuts.  Here is a quick moment when Jake was having fun with it too.

10-15-12

The boys received a gift and it was a chalk paint set.  I LOVED this gift because it kept Jake busy for at least an hour this afternoon.  Since he is no longer napping, I never know how to keep him busy and this was wonderful!

All set for the Homecoming parade!

Homecoming week for Coopersville and its superhero week!

10-10-12

 
The boys and I made ghosts and hung them all over the house.

10-9-12

 
Avery was doing abs with me.  I wonder why I don't have a smile like that on my face when I lay on that mat.

10-8-12

 
A daunting task for a Monday morning.  Mounds of laundry to fold.

10-6-12

 
Jake's newest endeavor is crushing chalk.

Having fun in the pumpkin patch!

10-4-12

 
Jake is tormenting Joel.

10-3-12

 
Dinner was running a little late, so Joel found these Veggie Straws on the counter and sat down and ate them right out of the bag.  Yes, I see you snacking before dinner!

10-2-12

 
That's the same look I would have if I put my lipstick on all over my face too.

10-1-12

 
Any parent should invest in batteries.  It seems like ALL of our toys ALWAYS need new batteries!

9-30-12

 
I spilled a bowl of pasta.  This is the first time in almost a year where I've thought it would be nice to have a dog!

Another evening downtown
