November

There was a really warm day in the beginning of November, so the boys and I enjoyed it!

Tripp is just "Hanging with my Peeps", or chicks, or hens!

Cort is feeding the goats

Ty enjoyed climbing in the play area

Halloween

Never a shortage of activities in October!

 Halloween

Carving pumpkins

Ella did hers all on her own and Ty helped with some of his. 

Downtown had some fun activities in the late afternoon, so I went with the boys while Ella was at gymnastics. 

Then the whole gang went out in the evening, with the help of Nana and Grandma!

Ella was Supergirl

Ty was Buzz Lightyear

 Cort was a penguin

 and Tripp was a cute dragon.  

 

Buzz Lightyear was very excited about his costume! 

Thanks Aunt Barb for finding it!!

Swimming

It's time for swimming lessons again. This time Tripp was in the pool too!!

 

 He did very well for his first time at swimming lessons!! But Daddy was in the pool with him, so everything is all right!

Ty and Cort are in separate classes this time and Ella is down in the deep end!

October FUN!

We had some pre-Halloween fun at the Zoo Boo on a mildly warm fall day!

Ella was in school, so the three boys got dressed up.

Fall festivities!

Pumpkinfest activities started out a bit cold, so Tripp bundled up!

Ty was in the Pumpkinfest Parade this year!

Ty had a field trip to the pumpkin farm with school and picked a pumpkin from the pumpkin patch! As well as petting animals, going down a big slide, taking a hay ride, and riding on the pumpkin train!

Cort also had a field trip with school to a different farm.  He got to feed goats, pet animals, take a hay ride, and ride a horse named Blaze!

Cort had his first day as special helper in 3-school!  I think he enjoyed it, even if he didn't actually speak the entire time.  He was excited to be the leader of the line!

As special helper, he was able to bring the stuffed bear home for a few days.  He named him "Brown Bear".  Brown Bear was a hit with all of the kids, but Cort spent special time with him and took him for a ride in his backhoe/loader!

A rainy day walk to the bus stop!

 

Peter, Ty and Cort made a wonderful surprise for me on the driveway!

I'm a blessed mama! 

BFF

Visiting hours!

Tripp is enjoying his nightcap while waiting for his BFF to get out of jail.
