Happy Thanksgiving





Hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving. I had to post these pictures because it was so beautiful here- over 50 degrees! Elizabeth and Adam were able to run around outside and look for the skunk in the tunnel in Grandma Donna's front yard. Elizabeth was rocking it in a super cute dress that we forgot all about.

It was a calm holiday, but we ate yummy food and spent time with family. Then Coach Grant was off for more wrestling fun this morning.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Coolest Cake


Jackie made Elizabeth the coolest cake ever for her birthday. When she saw it, she was speechless, which is a feat with my children!

Apple Orchard






We had a trip to the orchard to pick apples a couple of weeks ago. The kids love going with their cousins Kylie and Cael. Our favorite orchard was closed that day, so this Friday we took a trip. Feeding the goats was a major highlight. Adam kept saying, "Hi goats, hi goats." We also ran around the pumpkins, got our annual picture by the apple growth chart, and ate doughnuts. The best is always picking out mini pumpkins. All weekend they "decorated" the house with their 5 pumpkins and also the squash that we bought. They lined my headboard with them, so each night I had to take them off to avoid being knocked out by an acorn squash.

This trip is our big indicator of fall. Happy fall!

Time for a Vote!

Time for a vote. We are fairly certain that we will be in our 2 bedroom house for at least 6 months-2 years. Elizabeth is still in a toddler bed and will need to transition out of it in the next year, and Adam will move out of his crib. Because they share a room, we've been talking about options that don't require their whole room to be beds (especially since we don't have a play room.)

So...I found this loft bed that could fit a mattress underneath on the floor and become a bunk bed. It stands under 4 feet tall and although my kids have tumbled off beds, tables, and couches, I'm somewhat nervous about the bunk. So, what are your thoughts- will they be catapulting off this? (Leave your response in the comments or send me an e-mail).
