Even More Pumpkin Fun!

Last night we painted a couple of small pumpkins, and tonight we ran threw a small pumpkin patch uptown and picked out a medium sized pumpkin and a bag of cookies. Yum :)

Happy Birthday, Mom/Mimi!

Kyle helped me make a garden stone for Mimi's birthday a few weeks ago. He enjoyed placing the gems in the concrete and lending his hand print to the project.

The Work Week

While I'm at work, the boys keep plenty busy: rings; PE; arts and crafts; breaking out of jail; etc.

Gingerbread Boys

Kyle can be a little bit of a "runner" at times, so in an effort to teach him how important it is not to run away from whomever he's with, we've been having him watch an episode of "Super Why" about how the gingerbread boy needs to slow down and be careful. The outcome: a new obsession for gingerbread boys. In the past week, we've baked them, cut them out of paper, stuck them here and there, and traveled to and fro with them gently clenched in palm.

2nd to Last Week of Maternity Leave!
