Wrapping Up October



We've had a busy month.  I'm so behind on blogging so I'm just going to do one long post!

 

We ended October with Jackson's party at school and some trick or treating with Colton and Caden.

Spiderman!

Best picture I could get of all four of them.

Now for the rest of the pictures from this month...

 

Ryan loves to put Elmo night night.



 

Ryan has been pulling his drawer out and climbing up on top of his dresser.  I caught him having fun with the diaper cream.

Every once in a while there are sweet moments at our house.

Fun at the park.

Jackson and Colton building the great wall.

Love this picture of the boys in boots.

The boys and I went on a "nature walk" through the woods behind our house.  Jackson was in Heaven.

Then we played in the dirt and Jackson declared it "the best day ever."  He really is easy to please. 

 

 

Laine went on his annual guys camp out for four days last week.  The boys and I had fun but it's an understatement to say that I had my hands full.  For some reason it seems that everything that could possibly go wrong did.  Ryan cut and bruised his eye, got a bad cut on his toe and fell through the bleachers at Jackson soccer game and chipped 2 teeth and bruised up his mouth pretty well. 

 

The worst thing that happened (twice) is that Ryan snuck out of the house without Jackson or I knowing.  The first time I realized I didn't know where he was so we looked in the usual places (closets, bathrooms, etc.) and couldn't find him.  I of course panicked and then remembered that he had figured out how to open the front door.  I looked and saw it unlocked.  I ran outside and found him down the street in the intersection of the street that crosses ours with his lawnmower.  Thankfully, no cars were in sight.  The second time it happened I had put the boys out back to play while I unloaded the car.  They play really well out back so I was picking up around the house.  All of the sudden I noticed the front door was open so I ran outside frantically and couldn't see him.  I ran to the end of the street (we are only 2 houses from the end) and turned the corner and found him down that street, again with his lawnmower.  He had passed over an alley and crossed a street.  I guess he made it all that way without any cars going by or if they did no one stopped because they saw a toddler walking alone down the street.  Needless to say, we now have a special lock on our door and we've had no more escapes.  I'm just so thankful that he was safe both times.

 



Jackson decided to cut his  hair during all of the chaos of the weekend.
