Fall leaves

We tried to attack the leaves 2 weekends ago what fun. 1st we still have a lot of leaves in our trees. 2nd we still have green leaves in our trees. The house across the street has lost most of it's very large leaves. That is 1 leaf Molly has.
She really wanted to help.

Dad wasn't playing fair though.


Dad you took all my leaves.



Found one.




Sully wanted to help also by eating the air out of the blower. Doc was very confused, what's new?





I know this doesn't have to do with leaves but I keep forgetting a picture of the outside of the house. We plan on working on the landscape next spring don't worry.






This is the side from the other street (corner lot if I haven't said.). Well got to go 1hr and maybe 30 min left of nap time got to move.

Beach ball?

So Molly's new favorite toy is a free bee beach ball we found the other day. Why do we buy toys? She will bring it to you to bounce it off her head then run away. The funniest part is watching her try and pick it up, because she will kick it before she gets her hands down. I know you are not supposed to laugh at you kids but it is so funny.
Run away...

What? I didn't do it.


Taking a break, I'm tired Autumn.



Halloween

Autumn went Trick-o-Treating with her dad this year but I did get to spend some time with her at the school Halloween party that I was in charge of. Yes, have I told you I'm the head room mom. Thank you mother for giving me the volunteering gene.

It went well and the kids seemed to enjoy themselves. Jay and Alycia were only 15 min late. Oh well. Being good now.


We made a paper pumpkin that took no glue and I pre-punched all whole. Ok all you teachers out their love me.



Then we played a Halloween Bingo game Mrs. Miller had. Mean while the kids stuffed themselves with sugar. Ya!




Can you tell. Mrs. Miller said only 2 treats but that gets left up to a lot of interpretation at times.





Molly went Trick-or-Treating this year. Look quick the hat will not stay on long.






Here we go. The Sneed girls and Mason came over to Trick-or-Treat with us again this year I hope this continues to be a tradition. They brought much needed extra candy. Ha Ha. When we bought the house the previous owner warned us that we would need a lot of candy. He wasn't joking. We went through 25 BAGS of candy.







How cute. She looks so big.







We walked for a while Molly and Mason did the stroller thing most of the time. The girls were all tired. Oregon extended the hours this year to a whole 2 hours it was long.









Mason finally woke up when we were done. I wish he would rub off on Molly. Mason was a 3 week old pumpkin.










Mason is up and Molly is down. This is a good sleep.











House up date

Since I have not up dated the house pics at all yes we have made some improvement. This is Autumn's room, the wall paper mural is the main focus to bad her desk covers most of it.

She didn't get a reading nook so we made the top bunk a reading spot.


I didn't realize how much crafting junk I have. I need to take out stock in Jo Ann's.



This is Molly's room. We need a toy box is any one needs X-mas ideas Ha Ha.




I think the rolling hills need animals they look pretty bare. Good for now though.





This is the biggest improvement the girl's bathroom. All the wall paper is gone! Not that I like the yellow tub, toilet, and sink but it does match now at least.






This is our bathroom not much but got rid of that bad sponge painting job.







Our room is still white since we haven't decided what we are doing but we did get a dresser. Ya we are grown ups now.








This is the downstairs bathroom yes the wall paper is gone too. Did I tell everyone my mother is a saint? She helped me take down almost all the paper in the house. When she had to go home (since my dad had been eating TV dinners for a month) my reinforcements Nicki and Shawn helped me finish all the bedrooms and bathrooms (including ceilings which I hate) before moving day.









This is our family room still working on getting that wall down so also not painted. Working on curtains also.










The baby blue ones are not mine but something is better than nothing some times. And by the way yes they are the biggest couches known to man, they didn't look that big in the store room but the are great for napping on dad.
