Movie Night: Planes


Eva likes Redbox!



The boys love blankets!



She's so excited that she figured out how to stand on the slide with no hands.

Necklace Ball


We're adjusting to my new work schedule. Elijah's confused and keeps asking about if he'll be at day care or why Mommy is picking him up or where Daddy is or why Mommy's leaving. Well, little buddy, you're not the only confused and upset one here. Eva has a new necklace. It's an amber teething necklace. Hoping it's better than Tylenol.



Here's Elijah telling me he's sad. He was in trouble...but not enough trouble to get a timeout. It still made him sad though.



Morning play time for the kids! Elijah's building a Lego airplane and Eva's going down the slide.



I switched a couple of our living blankets for ones from storage. Elijah loved playing with the 'new' blankets.



Eva playing with her ball. We even played with her sock. I put it on her head and she would take it off and hand it back to me.



"Eva do you want to play ball with me?" - Elijah

New Schedule


The time change from yesterday gave us cranky kids last night. Eva also has a mild fever...we think she's getting her top teeth. She keeps biting and pinching. Also, Mommy's work schedule is changing this week. Hopefully, the kids will adjust okay. Elijah's never been good with changes.



Our Bud-Do has such concentration getting his binoculars set up on the box.



Do other one-year-old kids sit like this?

After Church, Before Lunch


Welcome to that short time after church when everybody is trying to use the bathroom, change clothes, and cook food before noon. This little person already ate and changed clothes.



As we journey to the living room, we find another little person who is still hungry and in need of change of clothes. Although, they have a little snack at church. He was able to change into his Chiefs jersey and pants...after nap he wants his Chiefs helmet too.

Halloween 2014


The apples that Elijah picked.



Cooking apples in the crock pot.



Homemade applesauce.



Homemade apple crisp.




Colored pumpkins! Eva used crayon on hers and Elijah used Sharpies on his.



We made binoculars for our fall walk to the park. Eva's not pushing him down, she just using him for a little support.


Costumes: giraffe (mask and tail from the zoo) and nurse (like the character, Clementine, in the Caillou Halloween book).



At Hallelujah night! He loved playing games...especially bowling, fishing, and the ball pit.



Grandma joined us for the fun!



Crazy ball pit!

Boys Watching


My boys are watching game 7 of the world series. Let's go Royals! 1...2...3.4...5. (That's how we taught Elijah the clapping. He's working on it.)
