The Littles

It feels as though we have been playing catch-up ever since Halloween. It seems like it was just a few days ago, yet here we are smack dab in the middle of November. I'm not even sure what we've done, but I can tell you, we've been busy. Between the chaos that is kindergarten, preschool, new bunk beds, and toddlers learning to escape the crib I would like to share some photos of the babies.

Amelia turned 4 months old. She is still just teeny tiny. At 4 months she weighs the same as some newborns(10lbs 6oz). We are working with the doctor to fatten her up, but she is healthy and happy.

Highchair dress rehearsal. She started solids and loves being at the table with the rest of the family for dinner.

Strengthening those muscles. Tummy time is hard work. She only looks like this for about 30 seconds before it's full-on tear city.

Finley is active as ever. He knows how to unlock and open the back door by himself. And he doesn't seem to mind 25 degree weather.

Halloween

I am fairly certain that all of our nice fall weather days are behind us. Winter is coming and the only thing I am excited about is this hat.

Fall has been good even if it is leaving too soon. The week leading up to Halloween was a busy one that started with the city of Papillion's fall festival. They had a bounce house right at the entrance and two hours later, we made it into the event. We took a hayrack ride to find pumpkins. 

 It was like Easter meets Halloween.

Later in the week, I let the boys paint the pumpkins.

It got really messy really fast. 

The next day, my grandparents came in from Arizona. And then, finally, Halloween was here!

We had a great Halloween and an even better weekend with our special visitors. The busy week paired with daylight savings time meant my kids were asleep by 7:30 on Sunday evening. That never happens. Ever.
