halloween

Things have been so busy here. The weeks are flying by, I can't believe that it's the end of October already. Thanksgiving is in less than a month and then it will be Christmas before I blink twice. Everything is going well. Business for Devon is moving, he is keeping busy and trying to earn enough to get us through the winter. We would love it if we could be kept in your prayers. Devon has a couple big jobs that he is trying to sell right now and it would help a lot if he could land them.

Austin and Kate are doing great. Austin is finally getting old enough that he understand halloween a little bit and gets really excited for dressing up and getting candy. It makes the holidays more fun when the little ones get so excited. We have been busy the last week or so decorating for halloween, carving pumpkins, going to the library and listening to pumpkin stories, halloween parties, boo at the zoo and lots of fun with new friends!! It seems impossible to get things done around the house because we are going going going. It's been a lot of fun and we have had a great time, especially getting to know new friends.

Cute, Grumpy and Crazy

Not a lot has been going on around here. We are just trying to keep our heads above water and trying to make some money before winter comes. The kid are doing great. Kate is getting cuter and cuter every day. She LOVES her bouncer or jumper or whatever you want to call it. We set it up on Sunday and I honestly didn't think she was big enough for it yet but she LOVES IT. She will sit in it for as long as I keep her in it. The other day we were all in the family room playing and she stayed in it for over an hour! She just jumps her little heart out. I was going to post a video but I can't figure out how the stupid thing works (...this is where the grumpy part of the blog comes in) I have been at the computer for literally an hour trying to figure out how to get a video on the computer and I am not even close. The thing that makes me crazy is that if Devon were home he would have done it in like 5 min....yet here I sit. So, no dumb video today - but maybe one day. So content to just sit and jump. The only problem is that all that jumping helps her pass her gas...which always leads to a blow out! The way she sits in the jumper makes her poo go up her back every time!grrrrr
But it always makes her feel so much better afterwards. What a big jumping girl!
And this is my CRAZY son. LOL how scary is this picture, seriously. I was trying, unsuccessfully to make baby head bands out of tights - apparently I got the kind that have too much elastic in them so when I cut them they roll - but that's another story....so I had pieces of tights laying around and Austin wanted to put them on his head and this is what happened. He thought it was so funny! He kept licking the tights because it was so weird on his mouth lol. ps notice the patch of hair sticking out the top, it was funny too.
That's not the only crazy thing he does. He LOVES to walk, run, jump around with this silly green bucket on his head. Devon use to put it on his own head and use it like a hat, so when Austin tried to copy him it ended up covering his whole head. Now, this started back when we were still living in California and I thought he would do it once or twice and get over it but no. He plays with the bucket on his head at least once a day if not more. It is so funny to watch because I swear he is going to run into things but he never does. He has figured out how to look out through the bottom so he can see where he is going. To prove how much he has mastered this task, today he decided to combine it with another one of his favorite things....swifering the floor. It was so funny to watch.

Our Vinyl So Far

So, I am slowly trying to put up vinyl in the house for 3 reasons 1) so I have pictures to help sell the vinyl better, 2) becasue I want to haave a vinyl party at my house the beginning on Nov. and need to have some up. and 3) because it's way cute! and I love using it. Anyway, here is some of the stuff that I have done. Some of it I love - and some of it not so much and will probably just take down and put up other stuff and take more pictures. But non the less here they are.

Isn't this cute? Especially since he has a little race car bed! I love it! And I love it all the more since I drew the race car all by myself! Let me tell you that's not an easy task for me since I can't draw at all!
