Thankful

I figured out how to take black and white pictures with my camera and so I bribed the kids with M&M's to sit still for a minute so I could test it out.

I am so thankful for my husband and my kids. I love them so much and I don't know what I would do without them. They make me so happy and I have a wonderful life with them. Have a Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Leaves are Falling

The kids helped me rake leaves last week. It was really fun for them to run and jump in the piles I would make. I can't believe how many bags I filled up and all the leaves hadn't even fallen off the trees yet. That will be this Saturday's project. Yippee!
Jake helped...he did a good job, a little hard for him though since he didn't realize he could use both hands.

He also gave special leaves to Anna and she'd just stare at him. But when she wanted to give a leaf back to Jake, she'd chase him all over the yard and push him over so she could put it in his hand. I don't get it.

Anna is a great leaf thrower. This was Jake's turn to just stare at her.

But this picture will definitely go in the scrapbooks.

There's No Place Like Home

Halloween was pretty fun this year, with the exception that Cody is sick and really didn't feel up to anything. Anna dressed up as Dorothy and Jake as the cowardly lion. They turned out pretty cute I think. Last Halloween Jake was only 6 months old, so this year was a lot more fun with him. It was like he knew exactly what to do with his candy bag and he knew what was supposed to go in it.

I think it is hilarious that candy is such a treasure to kids. I love how they have to study each piece after they get all their loot and sometime they even "organize" it.

We hope everyone had a great and Happy Halloween!!!
