October 3 - Fixing the Van

 

When we bought our van last week, we noticed there were a few minor cosmetic things we would like fixed.  The dealership told us they'd be happy to fix those things at no cost to us.  So today, me & the kids took the van in.  They did great for the first hour.  The second hour got a little rough & we had to get some fresh air.  By the end of the second hour, we were wreaking havoc & doing whatever we could to keep everyone happy - eating candy, playing in the tire piles, jumping off the couch, standing on the table.  Whatever.  We made it though & the van is fixed!

October 2 - Dentist

 

Dentist appointment today!  Bright & early too.  Double whammy.  Andlie did great - as usual.  When the dentist was picking at her teeth with his metal tools, she said, "Hey, it's like he's playing music on my teeth!"  Everyone loved that.  She left with a Belle toothbrush, smiles, & no cavities!

 

Haze didn't love the appointment.  He screamed & cried while getting x-rays, then calmed down when he watched the movie on the ceiling, then cried again during cleaning, flossing, and exam time.  By the end, he was crying, "Wanna hold ya right now, Mom!"  He left with a Winnie the Pooh toothbrush, tears, & no cavities!

October 1 - Beans & Water

 

I captured a picture of one of Haze's favorite things today - gathering things to throw in the street drains, piling them up, and throwing them in one by one while listening to them hit the bottom.  Today, he was gathering "beans" (AKA small seeds) and throwing them in the drain by our house. "Ah!  Mom!  I see a bean!  Get it!  Throw it down dere!"

 

This is one of his favorite things wherever we are - the temple, car dealerships, grocery store, anywhere.  He can find the drain and grab some rocks to put in it.  He must be a boy.

September 30 - Spiiiider

 

Saw a spider on the wall.  Told Haze to look at it.  He glared instead.  "Get out of our house, spiiiiider."

September 29 - Sunday Relaxing

 

Every Sunday has the same routine.  Church, lunch, Mommy & Haze nap while Andlie & Daddy play downstairs, dinner, temple walk.  Today was different though.  Today, Andlie came and gave me a snuggle on the couch while I was winding down.  I love snuggles with my babies.  (In case you couldn't tell by my smile.)

September 28 - Pumpkin Festival

 

We went to a Pumpkin Festival today!  They had lots of fun things for the kids - a giant rocking chair, an apple toss with prizes, a huge pumpkin pie to see, and tons of giant pumpkins.  The giant pumpkin pic didn't quite turn out as I'd imagined.  But hey, Andlie's eyes couldn't open because it was too bright and Haze really, really needed to grab & pull the caution tape. 

 

The rocking chair pic, however, turned out just like I imagined.  Cuties.

September 27 - Scary Face

 

"Guys, show me a scary face!"
