Trying out our costumes

The boys seem to LOVE their costumes!!!  They have started watching "Fireman Sam" (ironically Ainsley and I used to watch this in England - I haven't seen it here but it is on our cable On Demand)  Also, the paramedic/fireman that came to help Findley during his seizure was named Sam!  So, firefighters we are - and they are loving it!!!  They wear their hats around the house all the time and were so excited to wear them to school today!!

Next....when Ainsley comes home from school we are going to try and turn her white blond hair dark brown for her Dorothy costume!!!!

Cheering on Mason at his Baseball Game

We were all excited to see Aunt Lisa!!Brody and Findley's newest set of Grandparents.  The trend is one new set every outing!!!  They will search out some grandmotherly/grandfatherly people and go introduce themselves!!!!Mason after the game with his cousins

Fun Fall Day in the Backyard!

Brody wasn't quite patient enough for me to come open the door for him to get inside!

Painting

Ainsley, Brody and Findley all love to paint and draw!!!  They hadn't even gotten out of their pj's Sunday morning (that can sometimes be noon but this was maybe 8:00am) and they were already ready to paint!!!

Visit with the Davis'

Ainsley adores little baby Margaret and Brody has become very interested in her also!  They were both laying on the floor watching and reacting to every little smile!!!  Then the boys and big brother Samuel moved on to some piano playing!!!

Fun with Balloons!

Ainsley and I were blowing up a few balloons for an art project....well, then we decided to blow up the whole bag - 100 balloons!!!  The kids had so much fun....we filled up the laundry basket, counted and dumped, filled up the laundry basket, counted and dumped......We'll do a little paper mache pumpkin project with the initial few sometime this week!!

Working the Pumpkin Patch

Ainsley hijacked my camera......

The kids and I worked a shift at our church pumkin patch and had so much fun.  The weather was beautiful - we brought cookies, a blanket, Halloween books, markers and they were in pumpkin wonderland!!!  Ainsley was a huge help!!!  She greeted all our visitors handing out stickers, offering to take pictures, helping with pumpkin selection, offering add-ons to their sale ("would you like a gourd to go with that?")  She was too fun to watch in action!!!
