Fall is in the air

Last weekend Troy was up north prepping for hunting next month.  The boys and I hung out and also headed up to Target for a last minute diaper run.  I'm excited to report that they are more interested in arts and crafts activities and have been spending considerable amounts of time coloring and playing with playdoh, among their most recent addiction to playing with cars, trucks, trains ALL.THE.TIME!



Logan was more excited to stack the empty playdoh containers than playing with the playdoh itself.
Last Saturday afternoon, we went to Sheila's for a Halloween playdate, filled with pumpkin painting, games, and yummy food.
Again, I was shocked that Ellis and Logan both willingly painted pumpkins.

Pumpkin bowling (although Ellis really wanted to throw the pumpkin instead of roll it!)
"Throw the beanbag in the candy corn" game
Witch hat ring toss
We all had such a good time that the boys didn't want to leave.  Thanks again, Sheila for hosting such a fun party!


This week, the boys had some fall fun playing in the leaves at day care.  



Today was Trick-or-Treating at the Village.  Logan warmed right up to the fact of picking candy out of a bowl and putting it in his pumpkin.  Luckily he's so cute that when he grabbed more pieces than he was supposed to, they let him!  =)




They even had a petting zoo at the event today.  Logan was quite interested in the animals and even tried throwing hay at the alpacas to feed them.

Logan was VERY interested in the miniature horses - Ellis not so much.




Happy boys - had fun with our little Trick or Treating fun today.  Poor Ellis didn't want to leave and was upset when he realized we were walking back to the car.
As for the rest of the weekend, I scrapbooked at mom's house with Nicole Friday night and Saturday.  We've all been so busy the past few months that we haven't had our monthly crops together, but thankfully we fit one in this month!  I got caught up with Project Life for the pictures I had printed, and realized I had to alter my plans for the album I was going to use to document our summer bucket list activities.  Not a huge adjustment and I even worked on it a bit this morning, so hopefully I can get that done before winter - haha!  

Well, here's to a new week!  I hope everyone is enjoying what seems to be the last day of decent weather before chillier, rainier (did anyone else gasp at the snow flakes in the forecast for Thursday?!?) weather takes over this week.

Our love for reading

Our morning routine consists of having a bottle and then story time, before we play a little bit. We have quite a variety of Dr. Seuss books thanks to my mom (I had a Dr. Seuss themed baby shower) and the boys even have a stuffed Cat in the Hat in their room. One day, after reading a Dr. Seuss book, we took some time to hang out with the Cat in the Hat himself.
Logan looks a little freaked out by Cat in the Hat...
...but Ellis is really enjoying his time with Cat in the Hat and even
appears to be holding his hand.

By the way, did you know that "Green Eggs and Ham" has only 50 different words in it? I knew it was awfully repetitive as Dr. Seuss books tend to be (with rhyming and such), but I thought that was an interesting little tidbit of information.
