what we have been up to

These are going to be in "reverse order" just because that is the way they uploaded, and it really is not easy to move them around. Sorry - just start at the bottom if you would like. :-)

Last night, the boys and I were going to watch a movie. (sesame street numbers, just in case you were wondering. the 1986 edition at that!!) Anyway - Nathan went over to the couch and put his feet on the ottoman and scuffled around the blanket, getting it 'just so' and telling me that he 'saved me a spot - right HERE' (pointing at the couch next to him). Noah, on the other hand - went straight to his throne.

Given the option of "nap time" or "quiet time" Nathan normally picks "quiet time" and plays quietly in his play tent, and sometimes falls asleep. RARELY ever does he PICK 'nap time' - on this day he did b/c Gran had just left two days prior - and he wanted nothing more than to lay on "Gran's bed". What a sweet boy!!!

Dressed up like burritos for some free Chipotle dinner on Oct 31st!!

Nathan drving nails into some old wood . . . just seemed like a fun thing to do at a festival I guess. He liked it!

The boys and I had a great snack of Nachos and Cotton Candy!!! This was their first encounter w/ cotton candy - but I couldn't hardly eat it in front of them w/out sharing!!! They didn't know what to think about it at first, but warmed up to it quite nicely. :-)

Getting ready to go out to play! Nathan is a Physical Therapist and Noah is a doggie. Nathan also had a goniometer and pen to wear so that he could "measure people" and "do some notes"! I LOVE IT!!!!

Here are some pictures of our camping trip.

First tastes of toasted marshmallows:

Mommy's turn with the backpack carrier

Daddy's turn with the carrier

The boys had a great time playing football together and trucks

Noah was helping Richard set up the tent. At one point he went and sat square in the middle of it. We realized, he was waiting for it to blow up - he thought it was going to be a bounce house! lol
