The First Snowy Day of the Year

 We got a couple of inches of snow on Thursday and Friday.  The kids were elated!  They played outside until they were frozen little popsicles. 

Fall Fun!

Lots of fun was had this weekend… on Friday, the kids got their flu shots. Now, every pen that Lanie finds, she likes to turn into the flu shot, she’s pretty funny and creative.   Daddy left to go to a home show in Wyoming so we were then on our own.  We cleaned, played at the park and threw rocks in the reservoir!  On Saturday morning, we called Grandma Susan to wish her a happy birthday.  Then we headed over to Grandma Patti and Grandpa’s where we saw: doves, chickens, a green iguana and a big yellow dog named, Dixie (Dixs, for short…hee hee).  After that we headed to Lake Loveland for a picnic and play time at the park.  When rest time was over, we raked our backyard as well as our neighbor’s yard and jumped in the leaves!  Our neighbor has a beautiful Maple tree.  It produces a copious amount of leaves and it is still small.  We will have monster piles in the next five years!! On Sunday, we headed down to Denver to church with Papa and GG.  It pastor appreciation month and Papa's congregation was having a special breakfast for him. After church we had some delicious lunch a cute little Greek restaurant, Axios (http://axiosdenver.com/).  Yum! I recommend it!

Can I just say that technology has made our lives so much easier?!?  Well, there are fun games, Pandora, Pinterest and best of all, FaceTime.  So now when Daddy is gone he can say goodnight to the babies and their momma!

 

 

Downtown Aquarium

Ding Dong the Witch is Dead!

Mom saw this project on Pinterest and since we love The Wizard of Oz and Pinterest, it had to be done. 

 

We took a trip the Downtown Aquarium in Denver today.  We all had so much fun.  Collin’s favorite part was the “lions”, they were actually tigers.  He insisted on wearing his winter hat.  I think he sort of looked one of the bikers on Son of Anarchy. Hee hee.  Lanie liked the sharks!

Pumpkin Patch

 We made a trip to the pumpkin patch on Saturday.  It was a chilly one at that!  We were the only ones there. We got two pumpkins.  When we got home John carved them and I cooked up the pumpkin seeds.  We all love pumpkin seeds!  Yum!

 I am into doing crafts with the kids on the weekends.  This weekend we made ghosts.
