Halloween Party

We hav e a tradition with our friends to dress up and carve pumpkins together before Halloween and today was the day.....the kids got all dressed in their costumesMinnie mouse and can you guess what Carson is?
We couldn't believe all six kids under four sat still for like a good five minutes while we all snapped pictures

The cutest mouse ever....

Carson and Jada were so cute and kept sneaking kisses during the photo shoot.....my camera wasn't cooperating to get them on camera....

Rick had to work and couldn't come, but I made an attempt at carving a pumpkin with the kids....I can't say it was that amazing, but Carson and Brynnli had fun helping, especially Carson who cleaned out all the guts for me

Just a random picture from this morning.....the past two days these guys were so good and cute....I am afraid of what they have in store for me though, they must want something....

Cooking, Eating, and Bathtime

These pictures are all totally random! Here's what we've been up to......

Carson and Brynnli LOVE to help us cook, here's us making pizza last night
The bubbles exploded in the bath the other night....it was hilarious

We went to Rainforest cafe with some friends for their little girl's birthday, the kids had a blast....this was not too long after Brynnli choked on a chip and threw up all over me.....

The witch is back and the kids LOVE her......Brynnli calls her "ditch"

Soccer

We signed Carson up for tot soccer and today was his first day, and he was sooo excited! Brynnli thought she was playing too and so we had to buy both of them soccer cleats, which were super cute.

Here's the kiddos as we were leaving to go

Waiting to start since we were there ten minutes early (the kids couldn't wait)
Carson's friend Isaac is in the class too, which was perfect because that made Carson less nervous

Warming up...and no Carson isn't crying, he is counting Running
Carson kept telling me to say "yeah!" and waving, he was too cuteBrynnli and her little friend Izzie were playing their own game on the sidelines
It was REALLY hot and we were all sweaty and done by the time the 45 minutes was up, but Carson loved it, so it was worth it!

Carson and Brynnli's First Pets

We went to the store on Thursday in search of some new Halloween decorations at the request of Carson who informed me we needed more. Somehow we didn't end up with many decorations, but instead ended up with two new family members. Hurricane and Cinderella, our two new pet goldfish. The kids were VERY excited, especially Brynnli who couldn't figure out why she couldn't hold them. This is pretty much what we've been up to since then:) We don't get out much over here.

I am just hoping this will tide them over for awhile because I can't handle any other kind of pet.....cleaning up after my three (oops... Rick doesn't count technically) kids takes up all my time!

Miami Seaquarium

We have had a CRAZY week and Rick was barely home at all and I have been busy with all kinds of nonsense, so we decided Friday since we didn't have anything crazy the kids needed to do something fun, so we took them to the Seaquarium, which is just basically our version of a mini seaworld. The kids loved it! It was seriously so fun! We fed the sealions
The kids loved watching the shows and were dancing like crazy

These guys are at such fun ages!

Our little snowstorm

We left the kids alone for less than 30 seconds and somehow they broke into the bucket our shredder empties into (not the shredder itself...which is safely stowed away) and created a HUGE disaster.....

This is Carson making a snow angel

I gave in and we all had a snowfight, I had to keep reminding myself to be fun instead of having a nervous breakdown over the HUGE mess all over our room. The kids had a blast!

First day of school

Me and a couple moms from church are doing a home preschool for our kids from mothergoosetime.com where we alternate teaching. Today was Carson's first day and he was super excited!!

Carson's classic line from today when Brynnli and I picked him up was....

Me (in the car on the way home): Carson how was your day at school?!?

Carson: sighing "oh mommy, I'm too tired, I will tell you about it while we eat lunch."

Me: Did you have fun?

Carson: sighing again "mommy I'm tired...my legs are tired, my bottom is tired, I sat on that carpet all day!"

He had a blast and was grinning from ear to ear when I picked him up, what a big kid! Sniff........
