Menards

These two love going to Menards for two reasons...they love to ride in this car, and LOVE to play with the sample doors.  Ellie tells Ryker..."Pretend you're my honey." SO FUNNY!

Post Office Dramatic Play

Ellie and I decided to turn the toy room into a post office...we got all the supplies and I labeled the room.

Ellie took  phone calls and we both sorted the mail...Rochester, Chatham, Auburn, Girard, Springfield and Riverton (we chose these towns/cities because we have some relation to them...mostly family).

While we were playing so nicely, we get attached by this little boy and his father!  We had to have an emergency lockdown and close the Post Office.  Meanwhile, these two boys are throwing "bombs" into our store.  What is wrong with BOYS!!!  Above is Ryker's evil face!

Here is Ellie giving her Dad and Brother a piece of her mind! Hahaha!

Pinkalicious

 

We are ready to go to the Legacy Theater...

to see Pinkalicious with the girls and Grandma Patti.

Grandma Patti bought us these tickets for a special evening.  We got to go early and to some fun activities like color a cupcake and get our face painted.  Grandma got us special treats to enjoy during the show.

Pretty Flower

Hadley is telling Kami and Ryker to Shhh! :)

We had to borrow a pink shirt from Ayken so Ryker would match for the play. :)

After the awesome performance, the girls couldn't wait to get their programs signed by the stars of the show.

Brooke and Ellie with Pinkalicious!

Getting Pinkalicious' Signature

The cast is signing our programs.

We saw Molly McCue at the Performance!

Pumpkin Exploration

Neither of our children wanted anything to do with touching the inside of a pumpkin.  They wanted me to get TONS of seeds for them, but didn't want to get messy.  Who's children are you?!?! Lol!

Izzie was photo bombing our picture! Hahaha!

They each had a medium size pumpkin to explore and then shared a bigger pumpkin.  They wanted to save the seeds to plant in the spring.  The seeds ended up getting yucky so they just got thrown away. The sad part is...we didn't even carve a pumpkin this year.  BOO!

 

Halloween 2013

Tractor & Bat Girl

Ellie is one little girl that truly thinks about things before making any type of decisions.  Bat Girl took a long time coming, but turned out absolutely adorable on her.

And Ryker's took me MONTHS!!!  And lets just thank the Lord that I don't build houses because one pull of the wagon and something falls off! Hey...looks GREAT for pictures!  Maybe someday we won't remember the frustration of pulling this wagon (in the rain I might add).  It even had working head lights. :)  Should of asked Daddy for some input when constructing it.  That's what I get for wanting to do it myself.

Always remember, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE Bat Girl!

This little boy was NOT happy about wearing this shirt and definitely not wanting his picture taken.

"Trick or Treat?"

Opening a surprise from Grandma Connie and Papa Bob.

Arrrgh!

THANK YOU!

You would have thought we were asking them to do something horrible.  We just want a good picture...is that too much to ask.

Opening a surprise from Grandma Patti and Papa Bill.

THANK YOU!

Since it was raining outside this Halloween (very disappointing) we went trick or treating at the church in Rochester.  Still all smiles from this one.  Poor Ryker...his tractor didn't even make it IN the church.  Wheels were falling off (I do blame Brad on this one...I would have used a glue gun.  JUST SAYING)! 

Still in Good Spirits!

 

Ellie's adorable Halloween bag that she made at Preschool.

Happy Birthday, Papa!

We sang "Happy Birthday" to Papa and helped blow out his candles on his birthday! Thanks Papa Bob for being there for us when we need you! We love you so much!
