SOME MORE OCTOBER


Our 1st attempt to potty train Em...
(We're going to try again when her and I are more committed. Haha)

I got one of those foam sets for a Halloween house so we all put it together one night. The kids had fun and loved having a new Halloween decoration!




Aedan had a few days where he wanted his hair styled like Ninjago characters....


Em sort of took over Cali's Elsa & Anna dolls but while she has them she makes sure they're safe by buckling them into her seat with her!

This was the morning that we all got up, I made breakfast and got the kids all ready for school, as usual, and then as they were heading out the door I realized they had no school!! I was so mad that I could've slept in!!!

Cali's "PLEASE??" face up close...

She HAS TO ride one of these every time we go to the mall...

Aedan's Halloween & recycle projects...
(a pumpkin and a box monster)

The kids school had a Halloween party so I got Aedan's costume finished just in time and we headed over. Em's costume didn't arrive in time (grrr. I had ordered it weeks ago!) which was devastating to her but she ended up being ok with a snow white costume. Geoff had a campout for scouts so I took all 3 kids with me. It was a little crazy but they ran around with their friends and had a great time! I stood in line to wait for the professional pics so by the time I was able to take pictures of them with their friends a lot of them had left but I did get a few...





A picture of their picture...

After a trip to IKEA we headed over to Vince's. We always love an excuse to go there and it wasn't really on the way home but... close enough. ;)




Em tried a lemon...
(she was surprised by how sour it was... and then kept eating it.)

Someone got into my makeup...

This is what they do at Daddy's work...

Going on a bike ride (stroller ride for Em) to the park...

Em was amazed that stepping on wet grass and then cement made footprints...



playing at the park...


A walk around the lake...



CELEBRATING CALI

My Mom's birthday is in October like Cali's so we met them at BJ's to celebrate Mom's birthday but we had them sing to both of them. ;)




6th Birthday!!!

Cali requested pumpkin pancakes, bacon and eggs for her birthday so that's what I made! She got to blow out a candle and everything ;) ...


These were her favorite presents from us. Each one she opened Em immediately tried to grab and hug because she loves Frozen also.


Cali chose Red Robin for dinner and we invited Grandma, Grandpa, Maegan and our friends the Fowlers to come along. She had a great time!

Em was running around outside before we ate and I thought this slightly blurry picture was cute...

They sang "Happy Birthday" and she got a sunday. Her fav!



When we got home we had some cake. She requested strawberry cake with strawberry filling...


We sure love our Cali girl!

DARK HARBOR

Lisa and Wade came out for Lisa's annual birthday weekend. We usually go to Knott's Scary Farm now but this year we decided to switch it up and go to the Queen Mary's Dark Harbor. We dropped the kids of with Grandma for a sleepover and then headed out for some shopping, some pedicures and some Starbucks. Then we headed over for Dark Harbor. Overall it was pretty lame. Super long lines for lame mazes and it really wasn't scary. Totally overprices food/drinks. We did take some pictures and made the best of it but we ended up leaving early. I wouldn't recommend it.


Waiting in line to get in...


We finally got in and had to get a picture of the front...

The "Captain" guy. He just stood there being creepy so we took a picture...


The creepiest part of the night was walking to the car. It was super foggy and the ship was covered in fog. This is a terrible picture of it. It was all scary looking.
