"I love the leaves I do not know why. Is it their colors or how they fly?
They crunch and crinkle under my feet; I pile them up And take a leap!"

HaLlOwEeN fUn and LOTS of bOrEdOm

Riley and his friend Summer have this week off of school for half term and so needless to say we are dying of boredom and entertaining ourselves the best way we can...(I know scary huh?)
We painted some polka dots on some pumpkins.....put up some webs to scare off all those crazy English Trick or Treaters and then we checked the mail and to Riley's excitement we got a package from our wonderful friends who will be in Germany in a less than a week and we can't wait to see them. Here are some pics of our boredom and Riley's face when he saw what the Love's sent....Thank you! We love you guys and can't wait to see you.

My little helper in the yard and Entertainment Idea #2

While Ry and Summer were at school today McKinley and I decided to finally attack all the leaves in our yard...I didn't realize how much Kinley likes to help!Thanks Little!


Isn't she so cute!!!!



I have been trying to keep these monkey's busy and so today we made Spider Oreo cookies (before anyone tells me I know that spider's have 8 legs but I ran out of licorice due to my son liking to eat it!) Easy and very entertaining!

McKinley's Bday Party

McKinley's party was alot of fun. We did a Ladybug theme...or like they call it here a "LadyBird". Not as many guest showed up due to sickness and other things but we had fun with who came and the kids really enjoyed the Ladybug Piñata(thanks Dyann)
EnJoY!

Blowin out her candle with her Daddy!

Rippin through those presents and LoViN what's underneath all the wrapping!




Thanks Grandpa and Grandma Cook for the pony....She loves it!






Enjoying all the Grub!



Sorry this is really blurry because of all the action but its the only one that I have for the piñata

Love ya Kinley BuG...hope you had a good day!

Whooo Whooo is excited for Halloween?

I am always looking for fun things to do in the day and also entertaining. I saw this on a blog and thought it looked so easy and yet fun for Riley and Summer to do while McKinley was sleeping. Mission accomplished. They were very entertained and stayed quiet for Kinley's nap.

Fun Times with the Monkeys

This weekend was fun. We had McKinley's birthday (I will post pics soon) then we went to the Holiday Bazaar which is like a boutique. Riley got his faced painted and he loved it. I had to beg him to take a shower that night because he didn't want to ruin his spiderman face! And then we ended our weekend watching Bedtime Stories with the monkeys. Good weekend!

LoOkY LoOky....who is 2!

My baby girl is two today and I can't believe it. It feels just like yesterday that we brought her home from the hospital. I remember worrying when I was pregnant with her about if I would be able to love another child as much and the others. Now I look back and laugh....our family wouldn't be the same without her. She is such a sweet lil girl with lots of love to give and tons of attitude!
I wanted to write a few things about you that I love....
- I love how you talk and sing yourself to sleep.
- How you say Mommy after EVERYTHING that you say.
- How you say Ninny for McKinley.
- How everyday after you get dressed you say "I'm Pretty"!
- When you want attention from me you say "Hold You"
- Whenever you hold your doll you always say "OOOh Baby"!
- The way you dance to any type of music no matter where you are.
- How loving you are and always want to cuddle
- How your bottom lip hangs out when you cry
- The way you follow Ry around and want to be just like him
- How big and independent you think you are
- Your laugh
- How you will do anything for your Daddy and how you insist he puts you in bed
- How you say your prayers
