Time to Dress Up

My kids LOVE dressing up. We have a two big boxes full of dress up clothes. So you know Halloween has to be one of their favorite holidays. This year Alexandria was Hermione from Harry Potter. DJ was Optimus Prime, AJ was Bumblebee from Transformers. And Isabel was a Care Bear, Cheer Bear if you know your Carebears. I forgot all about the camera though on Halloween so I snapped this pic of the boys on another day when they were playing in their Transformer costumes. Just try to imagine a cute little Hermione and a Carebear standing next to them.

Isabel Turns 3!

I'm a little late with these next posts but better late than never.

Isabel had her birthday on October 27. She turned 3. I can't believe my youngest is three years old. It's scary to say but I think life is getting easier. All my kids are potty trained and they all know how to dress themselves and eat on their own and only sometimes need my help with things.

So to celebrate we had a cool castle cake. She got LOTS of presents and we just had a fun party. When Papi asked her how was her party she said, "good because there were a lot of people at my party." Thanks everyone for coming. She loves the attention. Here's the pictures.

Oops!

I forgot to show you our cute pictures from taking Isabel's Joy School group to the zoo. We had so much fun. We got super close to the monkeys. We were so close we could have reached out and touched them! One almost jumped on my head. That would have been a good pic.

And we got to practice standing like the flamingos. That was tricky for four little three year olds. I think we did wear them all out. And we had a great time doing it.

Call Me Biased . . .

. . .but seriously these are the cutest brothers ever!

Ever Had A Dream You Were Flying?

These kids decided to help their dreams come true. While they were supposed to be cleaning their rooms I walked into this mess just as DJ was flying off the top bunk and landing softly on the two mattresses and 10 blankets below.

What Boredom Brings

With most of our friends and family out of town over October Break, Alexandria and I decided to create our own fun. We did a "photo shoot". Here's the results.





























And some Photoshop fun.

Kids Gardening 101: Part 1

Rule 1. Drop random seeds between rows so you'll be surprised when a plant pops up and you'll be even more surprised to find out what it is.

Little Slumber

What is Isabel's blanket doing on the counter? Oh yes, this is real. She fell asleep while I was doing dishes. I turned around to wipe the counter off and went to pull off the blanket and noticed she was underneath it!

Father Daughter Campout

We're missing him. Thank goodness for webcams and chat.

The girls had a great time with him right before he left. Our ward had a Daddy Daughter campout and of course they loved it. Here's just some random pics that they took while they were there.

My Diva

Good thing this is a private blog. I had to take a picture though because of what she said when she walked out, "Look Mommy, I look fabulous."
