tricky...


L wants to put this near the mousetrap... think it will work?

it's been snowing and snowing (and snowing)

I heard it's the biggest October snowstorm in 12 years for this area. I don't know exactly how much we got, but it was over a foot.


There was too much for this poor tree to hold up, anyway.

Molly KC, look who arrived from sunny Nicaragua just in time for all the fun!

I think it took us over an hour to dig out Brynn's car, but at least she finally found her snowboots and didn't have to keep wearing flip-flops...

Kindergarten Halloween Party

We went to L's class to join in their Halloween celebration. A. and BR. were a little confused about what to do...










there is no audio for this video. (you're welcome.)

He says, She says

BR has had a lot of practice lying lately. He's not so good at it, though.

Him: "Mommy! The snow shovel bited me!!"

______
A. was pretty excited when I told her we would be babysitting Baby Cash tomorrow:
"Can we milk him!?"

Trick or treaters...


I'm not so good with seasonal decorations. Luckily, L. is on the ball. There's a fire-breathing dragon, a bat, a monster and a snake. Be very afraid...

fall visit

Grammie and Papa came to visit a couple of weeks ago. I have been slow to post photos because we have been sick, sick, sick. (Bo-ring.)

Not boring is all the stuff the kids did with P&G. Pumpkin farm visit, trip to Chuck E. Cheese, hike at Red Rocks, visit to the Nature & Science Museum, and more.










getting lost in the corn maze...(seriously, it took us about 20 min. to find our way out!)








a Papa pyramid:



While P & G held down the fort, Mom & Dad flew to Boston to attend an annual Emergency Med. conference and to network with folks about jobs. We've narrowed the search down to three continents: Asia, Europe and North America, in order of preference. We'll keep you posted.

(all photos taken by Grammie. thanks for sharing!)

L says

"Why does 'w' start with 'd'?"

-------------
I was getting frustrated while trying to make an origami bird for L. the other day...
"Mommy. You're talking to a piece of paper."

they never stop talking

yes, there have been fewer photos than text posts on RandB lately. That's because they NEVER STOP TALKING.

BR: "I know! Let's play hide and seek!"
Me: "Sure. Let's eat dinner first."
BR: "I know! Let's play hide and seek!"
Me: "Yes, just eat your dinner."
BR: "I know! Let's play hide and seek!"
Me: "Okay BR, just eat, please."
BR: "Mommy, I know! Let's play hide and seek!"
Me: "Stop talking and eat."
BR: "I know, Mommy, I know! Let's play hide and seek!"
Me: "Listen, buddy. Put the food in your mouth and chew."
BR, whispering: "I have a secret...Let's play hide and seek!"
