Potentially Last Nice Day Before The Snow

Yesterday it was about 50 degrees and sunny so the the kids and I got outside to do some playin as Brooklynn said.

I personally don't really like to play outside. It's always to hot or cold, sunny or cloudy. I see a snake in the grass (or had just the other day). We have to put on greasy sunblock or tons of  layers.  But my kids love. playing. outside.

I know how important it is to get the kids outside (so we normally do in the spring, summer and fall)...Their moods are better, they get along better, and best of all for me, they burn off all that crazy energy they have!

         


         

         

Happy Halloween

Special pre-Halloween treat from Simply Cupcakes...just because :)

Making Halloween shirts with the kids... no pictures of Emmett making his hand print bat because I needed Todd's help. Brooklynn just loves her shirt. The pumpkin Mommy made is on the front and her hand print bat in on the lower right side on the back of the shirt.













Carving pumpkins with the Wilhelm family

Preschool Halloween party. I just happened to be snack Mom that day. I took pumpkin mini muffins I made from scratch and carrots and dip that Todd helped me make look like a pumpkin...
