Pumpkin pickin' time already?

It just doesnt seem like its that time again. But it is and so we went to Circle S Farms and did the deed. And we had the awesome pumpkin donuts....drool!















This year we went in the evening (thus the hats and coats!) and I was able to catch a wonderful sky!

Doesnt this look yummy??!!!

Fresh wild scallops, rice, mixed greens and steamed green beans!


I thought it was gross, but Kevin LOVED it!

Let us Pray!

Or at least let Phillip!

Hi-ho, Hi-ho

Its off to school he goes!











Soon as he left he HAD to call Daddy!

MMMM pasta salad

My own make up. It has ranch dressing in it :) Also in it are black beans, steamed green beans, broc., carrots and other odd veggies that I had around. Oh and it just speg. noodles.

It was served cold.

It was a big hit for Kevin!

Of all the things he does

Eating random things may just be the most annoying that Phillip does. And trust me he does a lot of annoying things. He eats paper, anything made of rubber (such as the wheels on toy cars) and soft plastic (such as the kind that covers the cords on all electronics).

We spoke with his pedi about it and he wanted to do some testing on him. His tests all came back fine.

Its still REALLY annoying. We have to make sure there are no exposed cords because he eats the plastic (he just peels the plastic off with his teeth and doesnt bite the cord) while things are plugged in.

This is a huge thing for me. I am constantly afraid that he is going to choke on something or get shocked! It really is an issue for me and I am bothered by it daily.

But sometimes he eats things that I just think are cute and for the most part harmless.




It was a McDonalds hashbrown.

Capt'n Fat Head gets a hat!

So, as you know by now, I have been teaching myself (with advice from a lovely lady here and there) to knit. Hats are something I have been working on a lot. #1 they are easy. #2 who doesnt love a hat?


I have a few other projects (earwarmer and fingerless gloves that I have finished for Abby) that I will be posting soon!

So anyways,




Boy Wonder got one too!

Insects

There is always a new critter of some sort coming in this home. This time was a MASSIVE grasshopper. I mean really, this thing was freakishly huge...

Im so dizzy....

Ever heard that song?

Dizzy, Im so dizzy, my head is spinnin'......


Phillip has found the joy of making himself dizzy :) That's my boy!

It CAN be done!

I have been struggling with organization for the last few months. Since I have been working, I just dont feel like organizing things when I get home. So I have made it my mission to pick one spot to do at a time. When I have the time. This was one of those times :)

This is one side of the closet in the kids bedroom.

Before:






Are you ready? Hold on to your undies....





No really I mean it.....





Hold on to them.......



Here it comes, it only took me about an hour....






Tada....After

Updates are to come!

I WILL with out a doubt be updating my blog tomorrow! That is my plan and I will NOT fail!

So, do come back and see me tomorrow!

Boy Wonder

Just being himself.

Is that Donna Reed?

Nope, thats my Abby :)

I curled her hair the other day (for all the good it did, the curls were gone in an hour!) and Kevin swore she looked like Donna Reed lol

She who has spare time

Will most certainly be caught knitting in it....



I am working on a hat for Kevin in the pic (someone needs to teach this man about angles when he is taking pictures lol) its almost finished!

The first day of school

Abby loves her new school! She actually started 10 days late because we were trying to get her into this school!

The first day of school

Just because shes so darn cute!

On the move

Abagael got new roller blades and pads

Summer fun!

Nothing like a little pool time!



She found "treasure" at the pool


Phillip likes to pretend hes drowning and then spend his time sitting in time out for throwing junk in the pool.....repeatedly....




As sad as it is, I think this face is so cute!
