Pumpkin time

My sweet boy has had a little head cold this weekend. I loaded him up and Vitamin C and hope he feels better soon... He did want to be held a lot this weekend so that was ok with me. :)

Drawing a picture on the doodle mat. He loves this thing,

This was Trace's first reaction to the pumpkin

This is a hint... (and hopefully the last time he will wear an earring)

Trace's reaction to his "ladies" being in town

We had a great weekend. Aunt Michelle, Uncle Chuck, Leah, Laura and Samantha came to stay with us. Grandpa Heering came up to stay with Aunt KK so we had tons of fun with tons of people! Saturday was a beautiful day (warm, 70's and sunny and a wonderful breeze) so we went to the Country Ham Festival. There was lots of fried food, country hams, crafts, games, music, etc. We had fun just being together and enjoying the weather. Saturday night we had a birthday dinner and cupcakes for all of the September birthdays.

Thanks for coming to see us, Trace loved it!!!!

Sunday, Sunday...

It's that time of year again!!!!

Eagles Time... Gear up!

I look so cute...maybe mom will just let me pull stuff off the counter...

Word of the Day

BUBBLES!!!

Mom, this thing need a refill

Tilly, always supervising... Trace, trying to figure out how the bubble maker works.

When I got Trace out of bed this morning (at 10:00!) he looked at me and said "bubbles" and shook his head no. He gets that because during the week, its all we can do to get him home, fed, bathed, snuggled and off to bed before he gets SUPER grumpy! So, baths are usually quick and we don't have time for bubbles so I say no bubbles. He now points to the jar of bubbles and says bubbles no... So this morning when he woke up saying "bubbles no" I felt like a mean mommy!!! So we had TONS of bubbles today!!! : ) and he said bubbles all day! He is such a cutie. He is working on a new tooth so he was a little grumpy from time to time this weekend. Motrin really helps his mood (and I guess the pain). We went to a birthday part at Chuck E Cheese Saturday night and then over to our friends for the extension (after party!). Burgers and tons of kids in the backyard. CEC pretty much wears me out! Way too much action for me. But the kids had a great time. Another sacrifice of being a parent. :) The weather was wonderful... a sign of fall I suppose. I had the windows open all day today and can hear the crickets chirping now... Trace is sound asleep after a very nice weekend prepping for a week of school. I hope everyone is enjoying the great weather and slower days ahead.
