A trip to Big Rapids

 

A few weekends ago, we visited aunt Anna and uncle Dave in Big Rapids.

 

 

We played at the playground.

 

We tortured Squash.  Poor Squash.

 

And went to klackles and ate LOTS of apples.

The Loot

Being Silly….

 

 

October

This is going to have to be a mish mosh of everything we’ve done in the past few weeks…

  We started with making some play dough on a rainy day. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Next, the tree cutters came and took down the huge tree behind our house.  It was time to come down.  As you can see it was a little hollow inside.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Peter has been bringing home some great art work from preschool, which gets displayed on the fridge.  Joey took a particular liking to this project.  It was awfully quiet in the kitchen before I found him. 

 

Mmmm…glue and stale fruit loops.

 

 

 

 

 

 

  We added another thing to climb in the back yard. Joey and Ally love it!  The older boys use it as base for tag.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  This pictures describes a multitude of events.  Peter is enjoying hand me down clothing from cousin Adam and the neighbor boys.  This is a particular favorite (it glows in the dark).  He also is showing me he caught a fish.  Last, he is wearing his fire hat he got from school after meeting the fire man.  When asked what to do if there is a fire, Peter will respond, “put on your fire hat and crawl on the floor.” :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tuesdays are scavenger hunt days.  I come up with some sort of game for the neighbors, Peter and Joey to play.  Two weeks ago it was beautiful and the leaves were falling.  So, the kids had to run around and pick up sticks with little leaves.  Then they filled their trees and had to hunt for a dum dum in a pile of leaves. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Peter was insistent we wash the car one day.  So we did. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thank you Ruru for my new robe.  It keeps me warm and I don’t yell at my brother anymore when he wears his.

Still working on catching up…

 

Oh my gosh…this was a month ago.  Mark took a day off work and we enjoyed a day at the zoo.  The kids had so much fun and Mark and I exhausted them trying to do a geo cache hunt. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

                          I don’t know what Joey is point at here.

Yay – we finally found our geocache!

And We’re Back!

After a very busy two weeks and a few days of Mark being away from work, I'm sneaking away to the office upstairs to take a break and share some pictures.

We will continue with Tim and Sarah's wedding...

Following the ceremony, the wedding party went to a fantastic park to take pictures.  The boys clowned around a little.
