These are the only pictures we have of our Halloween adventures.  No shots at all of our pumpkin carving (that didn't take place until right before trick-or-treating) or our travels around the neighborhood.  We have some very special neighbors that got some special treats for these two boys!  We are very blessed!!
G'night all...and Happy Halloween : )

We were just able to post another picture, so I am sending very belated birthday wishes for
Miss April Dunne!!  Happy 2nd birthday!!  WE LOVE YOU!!!xx Kellan, Sean and Auntie Katie

 

Gramma Denno brought this calendar page over to us.  It was on her calendar and reminded us of this photo from the summer.  Gramma D. made balloon animals (and swords) for a community day and Kellan thought it was pretty awesome!!
 

BEAUTIFUL FALL DAY!!

Hello All,

We went out to camp today to close up the windows in case we don't get back this fall.  The weather was PERFECT, cruncy leaves under foot and a soft breeze.  Where did the boys want to be?  In the cabin!!!  This is how we do camp, Uncle Stephen!!  I think they need another lesson on how to be boys in the woods!!  : ) 
 

I even brought a set of rabbit ear antennas out there and we get one pretty clear channel (CTV).  Yippeee!!  We are really "roughing it" ... NOT!!  We just need plumbing and we'll be all set!!

Bella did a bit of relaxing too...she is such a busy girl!! 

Check out this outfit!!  Yup...I let him out of the house with his pants backwards, but he added the necklace and the "peek-a-boo" underpant band at camp...what a nut!!

Kellan took this picture...the leaves were are really beautiful, bright red in person.

 

All packed up for winter...a little sad...The water level gets really high in the Spring, so I moved everything away from the river's edge!
 

Til' the Spring...(or the next beautiful Fall day...!!! )

Love being home with no plans and a long weekend ahead.  Last night, we drove to the intake to get the boys out of the house.  Kellan loved "splorin" (exploring) and wanted to keep driving...we did until Sean started to get car sick. : )  Still have 3 (nearly full) days ahead to fill...sigh...yeah!!
 

 

Pardon the VERY messy house in these pics, but I had to post!!  I am feeling all kinds of freedom this morning with extra time on my hands!!  Gramma Denno is going to watch the boys today and I have an entire day at work to catch up on work things and plan for my students.  It also means that the boys are still sleeping and when they get up, I won't need to repeatedly call out "MOVE IT!!" to get us out the door on time.  Having said that, the boys really have done well and (most days) it is not as difficult as I thought it was going to be...even with Bella Bean to take care of!  (Thanks Gramma Denno for letting her out and giving her cuddles so often). 

Anywho, last night we made our own chicken nuggets for dinner and the boys loved them (even Sean ate all of his and had seconds...although he only started with 3 tiny pieces because he so often wastes food...he is more a bread boy than a meat boy - like his momma...).  They loved the process and Kellan asked if we could make them again.  It was a really great "keep-em-busy" event and it was fun!!  It  was also WAY cheaper than buying gluten free chicken nuggets...especially if you want any kind of healthy chicken!!  I may put these little workers on the job to stock the freezer with chicken nuggets : ) 

Well, enjoy the day all!! 
With our love...
Katie

 

 

Fall Fun!!

Yesterday was a great "outdoor weather" day.  We were able to get a lot of work done in the garden (well, this momma got some work done...Bella and the boys did more playing!)

AND...Sean was the leader on Thursday and I was able to go in with him to be the "parent helper."
It was fun to see him through his day!  He loves his teacher and his school...Yipeee!!  (P.S.  She still says that she "would love to have 10 of him" and we're 5 weeks into the school year!!)
