Happy Fall

The kids made scarecrows today for Fall and the letter S. They were very simple but turned out cute. Cade suggested that I take a picture by the scarecrow on the front porch. What a great idea! Here they are with their scarecrows.

My Little Beaver

Cooper loves to be on the trampoline especially by himself! He is the funniest thing to watch as he bounces (walks) around and falls all over the place. He loves it! Once he gets up there he does NOT want to get off. I usually remove him screaming very loudly because he wants back on! He really can't be up there with the bigger kids because they bounce too hard. They are good to sit on the side and let Cooper have a turn though. Yesterday the kids were playing with some toys on the trampoline (and weren't bouncing) so Cooper was up there with them doing his thing. For whatever reason he would go to the net and bite it. He looked like a beaver trying to bite his way out...although he didn't want off! I once again had to remove a very unhappy little boy! Life is rough!!!!

Fall Pictures

I love taking pictures in Fall! Actually I love taking pictures all year long but I especially love fall! Here are a few of our first attempts at fall pictures. It's not easy getting 3 little people to look at the camera and smile all at the same time. I managed to get a few decent pictures! These were taken at Rah Rah's (Chad's mom) house.

Froggy Friend

Chance found a friend while playing outside today. We had lots of rain yesterday that collected in the sand box..because the lid was left off! I went to scoop some of the water out and found this little guy hanging out in there. Chance was more than happy to remove the frog for me. He loves all critters. I'm just waiting for the day he tries to catch a snake!! He enjoyed playing with the frog until I made him let it go. I was afraid he was going to kill it because he was squeezing the poor thing so hard. Chance is a funny little guy!

The Fort is Finished!

After LOTS and LOTS of coloring the fort is complete. Cade signed his name to his favorite spot! We also signed the other kids names too!

Thanks Aunt Amanda

We LOVE the new Fort!

The boys love the new fort and spent lots of time coloring it today. Cade spent the most time working on it. They have not finished coloring it yet but I will take a picture when it is completely done. At one point Cade said he needed to take a break because his hands were sweaty! It takes some pretty intense coloring to make your hands sweat!! Thanks again!!

Quote of the day!

Chance came out of a fence where some horses had been and said, " Oooh Look, Big Dirty Meatballs!" I laughed so hard and then told him that they were NOT actually meatballs although they did kind of resemble BIG DIRTY MEATBALLS!

He then climbed on the fence were a horse named Noodle was tied up and said, "I'm up high so now Chicken Noodle can see me"!
