Fall Festivities

Just a few pictures of what we've done to celebrate AUTUMN!!!!!!!!!!!
Raking leaves of course!


This picture pretty much sums it all up. Slick taking in all the fun and Spike thinking/talking about doing it!

Yep, that's as far as Spike would go! Slick, didn't care! He makes the BEST of everything! You would never have guessed he was fighting a fever. I was SHOCKED when I took him in and that he temp was 102!!!!!!!!!!!

AH! Caught a picture at the right time! That's about as long as he was in!

Going stir-crazy, maybe?

We've had "germs" in our house all week. Slick had a fever for three days and now has the stuffy nose/cough thing going on. We've been pretty much "house bound" for the week. So while daddy went to church with out us again this week, we had to be creative. The boys are offically tired of watching movies. Now that they're "on the mend" they want to get moving and doing. So while I was washing dishes and attempting to clean up in the kitchen, I gave them paint!

Yes, that is paint all over the floor. They're still learning to keep it on the paper!
So after I cleaned that up, I went to take my shower, and when I came down, this is what I found! Minus all 6 couch cushions. I put them back on before I thought to take a picture!

All this of course after taking nearly every book of the bookshelf to "read" this morning! UGH!
Do you think we need to get OUT!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Fall Fun!

Today we went to the pumpkin patch. It's been raining here for the past couple of days so it was great to get out in the beautiful sunshine! We really couldn't have asked for a better autumn day!


Cousins!


AH! The perfect pumpkin for Slick!

And the perfect one for Spike!

The hayride with friends!

Look our farmers! Make room for two more tractors!


YUMMY, ice cream!


What a fun day!

Rainy Day Fun

We've had a busy week and it's cold and rainy here today, so we decided to lay low at home today! So here's what we did...


And today was the first time we actually let Slick "help". He was loving every minute of it. I couldn't get him to sit still long enough to take a picture. He wanted to take a "silly face" picture, so here it is!

And of course, Spike's very proud of his work!

And here are the finished products. Not quite the way the picture shows them to look, but if you use your imagination, you can see the little piggies they're supposed to be! HAHA!

Firehouse Open House

In honor of "Fire Prevention Week", we went to an open house tonight. The boys loved it, for the most part that is. They did NOT enjoy the "wind" from the helicopter landing and taking off! Other then that, good times!
