leafs!

Our tiny trees don't make many leafs for raking and jumping in....but the huge tree in Papa and Cinny's back yard makes LOTS!!! The boys had a blast jumping in the big leaf piles. Noone seemed to be able to rake piles fast enough before they jumped in and flattened them.

More Mess!

Since I did have a few takers on the previous offer of letting future cookie messes be made at their houses instead of mine.... I thought I would share another mess I decided I would offer out to any one that wants it!

The real mess had nothing to do with the paint.... for anyone that is aware of Prestyn's "episodes"...or better yet- have experienced it first hand........let me just tell ya....I would rather paint be spilt all over the carpet than the freak out/melt down/holding his breath and passing out episode we had once Prestyn realized that a small very minimal amount of paint had spilt on him! WOW! OCD! This kid is going to need some serious therapy in order to make it through Preschool.

So- Paint on leg equals freak out episode. Then I got him in the bathtub to wash off the paint- and apparently the fun soap that is like shaving cream and lots of fun (for most kids) was means for another episode. Let me just tell you that Sunday morning was an exhausting morning!

(Recap for the uninformed- When Prestyn gets upset he holds his breath, turns purple and passes out from not breathing. Most of the time he comes thru on his own. A few times we have had to blow into his mouth to get him to start breathing again. The doctor said that it is actually somewhat normal- that some kids do this as their way of throwing a fit, and he should outgrow it hopefully between 3 and 5 years of age. There isn't any kind of treatment for it, just time.... and we have to make sure we tell any babysitters that he does do this and that they haven't just killed the child- sorry Grandma Cindy!!!)

So with that said....Who's house are they painting at next???????

Cookies!

Yesterday Braedyn decided he wanted to bake something.....so I decided we might as well start practicing making cookies for the upcoming holiday season.

From now on though- I'll let the baking cookies messes happen with Grandmas and Aunts....I dont have enough patients for the mess! Any takers?

Good Investment

I bought this Bumbo Chair when Prestyn was born and 2 yrs later he STILL loves it. He calls it his "bummo"

Leaves Leaves Leaves......

Who knew leaves could be SOOOOOO much fun?

Since we cant sled on snow...how about box sledding in leaves....

Papa's turn to push them down the hill.......

Uh Oh!

More Pumpkins

Braedyn

Prestyn (didnt want to sit with the pumpkins sp instead, he threw them)

There we go- a little cooperation.

Pumpkin Patch

A tease.......

Yes, just one picture, because it took almost 45 min for the computer to open the picture, me to do a quick edit on the color, and then post. Darn slow computer. So once I am feeling less frustrated and willing to wait six hours- I will post pictures from the pumpkin farm we went to on saturday and Boo at the Zoo from Friday.

g baby

Prestyn got new diapers and loves them! He started refusing to wear his diaper-especially at night...but he isnt showing much interest or progress in potty training. So g diapers it is for now.
They are pretty cool. Cloth diapers with a disposable/compostable liner. I can litterly flush the liners down the toilet or I supose I could use them as garden composite if I chose? Just kidding- Brandyn doesn't like the idea of Prestyn fertilizer! haha
