The Lost Posts - October, Getting Started

Oreos, Thomas the train sun glasses and cowboy boots.  That's just about right for picking up big brothers from kindergarten!
After a rocking dentist appt from both kiddos, we splurged and enjoyed a little lunch and playtime at McDonalds :)
What is the month of October without pumpkin picking and farm fun?? This year we headed to Rhodes pumpkin farm to try a little different pumpkin getting experience!

























Ahh brotherly love!
We painted our much overdue-for-paint living room.  It's so much better!!

Just swingin'!
While we were at it, we painted our bathroom…it matches our bedroom and I love it! This room is in need of a major reno…gut and redo type of deal. But we have a few other projects that are up the list in priority so this will do for now!
The boys and I took their scooters for a trip through the park after school one day.  I think I'm kind of crazy every time I debate doing this alone…right now I don't have enough hands and arms to keep them all wrangled in!


There was a lot of mud and this one ended up in his skivvies for the ride home...


I thought the last picture like this was the only one I have of him in his undies and my high heels.  Oh not so!  This gem was in the October folder.  One day I bet he hates that I have these pictures.  I'll call it sweet justice!
Waiting on meds for yet another double ear infection…not even kidding.  Every time we go to the doc!
He lost his first TOOTH!!  He was so excited!!  A second shortly followed….and we currently have a loose top tooth.  Can't believe it!!
More posing while we wait for Owen.
I started doing Wildtree Freezer Meal workshops in May of last year…there is no going back.  I have a post in my head to share the wealth of knowledge I learned from doing these.  It's a game changer!
Sometimes ya just need a nap.

The Lost Posts - September, The Second Half

Aunt Jackie and I took off to the zoo…we were desperately out numbered but everyone behaved and we had a blast!!



















So much fun!!
Steff is always in the know about awesome stuff going on locally…and this was a beverage following our trip through Vintage Market Days in Highland.  What an awesomely fun day with my best friend!!
There was eye candy galore!!  I left so inspired to come home and DIY myself into oblivion!!


Working on our homework routines earned him a star pop from Dairy Queen.  And the rest of us got some goodies too :)
Apparently we'd been living under a rock and pumpkin pie blizzards existed before this fall.  I don't know how I lived without them!!

A vintage market find...
I love this kid. 
Jer's company planned a tailgate party at the Ram's game.  We had a blast!!



Love this kid too.  Such a fruit!!


Homework 
One day while waiting to pick up Coop we wandered on over to the Robert Wadlow statue and park area next door to church…it's a pretty little spot that I think I could sit and enjoy some peaceful contemplation!
Making a change…I went auburn and haven't changed back since!!
A trip to Eckerts with Grandma and Grandpa.  A day to remember!!








Waiting for the tractor...

My little studs!  So handsome these two! 






















After our fun at the apple orchard we stopped in Grafton for snacks at The Whole Scoop. I love this little place. They have yummy food and fun ice cream…and it's right off the main drag through town. You can watch motorcycles go by and enjoy the quaintness that comes with small town atmosphere.




I decided it was time to redo the front door…and boy was it a overdue!!  It's amazing what a little bit of time and some new hardware can do!


Paint, hardware, kickplate and an inexpensive Command strip hanger from 3M.  Not too shabby!!
I realize I took a lot of homework pictures.  I think it was a shock to me how much there was when school began.  Here Owen is with two worksheets and a book to read.
Feeding the ducks!!  We set up a play date with Peyton and Case after school one day and it was beautiful weather and just a blast…as usual!!  After the ducks we took off for the park and enjoyed playing till it was almost too dark to see :)  So much fun!!!
