Around the house...

So one day I headed in to wake up El to go to the bus stop and found him like this...too funny!


Then I woke him up and this is what I got! Guess he wanted to sleep more!

Science Experiment day....so a mom can only play legos so much! I had to switch it up one day...we looked online for some fun/easy science experiments and found these.

The colors aren't the best..but he had fun! Not a great picture but this is suppose to be teaching him how different liquids have different densities...you can read up on it here.

This one he LOVED and so easy! We did it a couple of different times to show everyone as they got home that day!

Couple of drops of food coloring in milk...

then add 1 drop of dishsoap! Watch the molecules disperse...

A warm day...had to get out!

wearing dads shoes!

Harvest Fest...

A local church was having a free Harvest festival so we decided to hook up with our neighbors and take the kids. It was pretty chilly so after a bit we had to take off..but overall it was a lot of fun.

Lots of face painting and pumpkin painting!


Yum! Cotton Candy!


This is all he wanted to do! Go figure!


Cheese!

The kids squaring off...

Now the adults! This was too funny!

I love to hear the kids just chuckling at their dads!!!

Really Behind...

So I'm really behind...It's been over a month and not many posts! I even looked and saw I only took 80 pictures for the entire month of September...usually I average at least 300 per month! I know, I'm a little crazy with photos! So here are some recent pictures of some "stuff!"

Here are some shots from Isaac's fall trip to the Pumpkin patch with his class...he was so excited to bring home his pumpkin and couldn't wait to decorate it! I didn't go this day but another mom was great about sharing her photos!! Thanks Heidi!!

Art Prize take 2!

So our friends from Illinois were up for the weekend and we couldn't wait to go back downtown. We had one night for just us adults and a nice dinner at the Bull's head! Yum! Then the next day we took the kids back for more! It was so nice just to walk downtown!

The kids were very fascinated with the mural by the Children's museum...they loved the mirrors!

and of course the balloons!

The four of us with no kids! Yeah for date night!

Art Prize...take 1

So one Sunday we headed downtown (with thousands of others!) to see the airplanes! I'm sure you've all heard about it! Isaac was so excited to see those planes fly off the buildings and loved that he got a couple! It was a ton of fun to just walk around with the Clarks and take in Art Prize together! Here are some shots from our trip.

I know this isn't part of Art Prize...but Isaac thought it was cool!!! Go Blue!

Just taking a break...for a sec that is.

Admiring the art with Dad.

The group shot!

Nessie...

This was how we kept track of the kids...there were so many people! Unbelievable! What a great thing for GR!

Open House

Isaac's school had an open house to let the kids show their school off...so Isaac couldn't wait to invite both Grandparents and show them his new school!



Here he is hugging Elliot before class....really he's hugging not choking!

A couple of Neighbors are in his class and Isaac just loves that. Mason - his new best friend didn't want to be in the picture but Emma was all smiles!! So fun for them to know other kids in the class and see them in the neighborhood.

Soccer!!!

So Isaac is loving playing soccer this year!!! He smiles all the time and just goes hard! I fyou ask him how many goals he made he usually says something like - 72! No modesty there! He does know how to celebrate after a goal though! And then he looks to see if everyone saw it!

Here he is concentrating before the game

The fan club! I love how well our family all support us!!

Elliot trying to scam some food from Grandma & Grandpa!

Our friends from Illinois even came out to cheer him on!

Madi decided not to play this year..I think she loves playing one on one with daddy instead!! Nothing wrong with that!

New Pictures!

So I needed so new pictures for our living room wall and just took a night so try and get some good shots! We had some old frames that had other prints in them and I thought they might look good collaged on the wall with pictures of the kids. I wanted some nice closeups and took these...

Here is the final layout...as you can tell we chose a different shot for Elliot since the one above was a little washed out by the sun...next time I won't use such a close up of Elliot and I think I'll like it much better! But overall its what we want for up there!

After pictures the kids just had fun outside...Here is Elliot running....

and then tackling!

Brothers!!! Too cute!
