Crazy snow storm!

If I am counting correctly, this is the 4th time that it has snowed this October. That is crazy enough, but this storm has been wild. We measured this morning and we had about 12 inches and it has just kept snowing all day.


Mike took the kids outside this morning, and they didn't last very long. It is very cold and windy, plus it is still snowing. We put goggles on Caleb because he kept crying about snow getting in his eyes.

Our poor pumpkins that we haven't even carved yet!


We haven't even brought our chair cushions inside yet! That looks like a nice soft seat though, right? Look at that pile of snow on the table!

Fall Fun

Last weekend we went to a pumpkin festival at our local garden center. They had lots of fun things for the kids to do. When you first walked in there were several model trains set up that mesmerized Caleb. Then we headed over to the petting zoo. Caleb also loved that. Haley and Maya kept there distance from most of the animals.

They cornered this cute bunny.




There was also face painting, which the girls could not pass up. We also enjoyed a kids musician that sang lots of great songs, entertainers making balloon animals, and an inflatable obstacle course. The kids also got to decorate a pumpkin. We had a great time and spent most of the day there.


A couple days later we made caramel apples. Of course the kids ate mostly caramel, not much apple.

Happy Fall!

Caleb turns 2

My baby is now 2. No longer a baby. We had a very low key birthday celebration last week - cake and presents. I made him a cake that was supposed to look like a big Oreo cookie. It was pretty delicious.



Mike took some pictures of Caleb at the table after we ate cake. I think they represent his current personality so well.


He got some great presents. The biggest was a train table set, which Caleb and the girls have really enjoyed so far.


Haley and Maya made Caleb a little sign with Legos. We had a great time celebrating our little man. Sure love you Caleb.
