September/October

Violet got this microphone for her birthday and we enjoyed car karaoke for the next week.
Autumn was complaining about something after school.  So I decided to be a "cool" mom and let her paint.  She told me it was boring.
When Patrick and Elizabeth got back from their honeymoon we had a picnic in the park.  Here Autumn is roasting a marshmallow over the coals.
Violet ready for bed, wearing my slippers from when I was little.
Autumn and I enjoy playing pictionary with chalk in the back yard.  But we didn't get much of a fall this year.  It got cold and has stayed that way.  Anyhow Autumn drew this picture and I think it's perfect.
My local twin group took a tour of the local newspaper place.  I thought it was way cool!

The kids and I were sick one day so Evan offered to stay home from work so I could rest.  Instead he ended up spending the whole day ripping up the flooring in our basement because it flooded.  The neighbors sprinklers broke and was dumping thousands of gallons of water into our soil.
I planned an awesome escape room activity for the youth in my ward.  It ended up being way crazier than I anticipated and the fog machine set off the smoke alarm, oh well.
Violet wearing a dress of mine from when I was little.
Violet told me the "Wild Thing" on the left (bottom) was Jesus. (HAHA)
Violet loves to help me in the kitchen (wow there are a lot of Violet pictures).  We made caramel apples together.

The kids snuck in the garage and got this family size box of Lucky Charms out and ate all the marshmallows.

Violet smeared her poop on my car one day when we were testing our potty training.
Autumn can be such a sweetie sometimes.  She made a crown for Violet.
Autumn was in the primary program...These kids dress themselves.  Maverick usually insists on wearing a tie to church.

Lark does this all the time.
decorating for Halloween.  Lark is a really happy kid.

matchy-matchy.  These two often make up dance routines after dinner and put on different "costumes".

After dissapointed Autumn for the second week in a row, getting the time of her ninja class wrong we went out for ice cream.

Lark's first day of nursery.  She loves it, she just didn't want a picture. 
"Green" spirit day at school.
Lark insists on being a big kid and walking in the parking lot instead of letting me hold her.

Mav and Vi turn 3

Maverick and Violet turned three!  We let them open presents in the morning after breakfast.  It was a bit hectic with 2 three year olds ripping paper and going at it.



Autumn gave Violet a Sophia the first action figure.

Mom and Dad got Maverick and Violet gymnastics lessons for their birthday and new birthday shirts.

We went to Chick-fil-A for lunch and ice cream after going to the gym.


Presents from Grandma and Grandpa Robins

After nap time (where neither of the twins napped since Dad decided that Violet's birthday would be a good day to take away her pacifier) we had a couple families (Wesley McBride and family, Hyrum Neary and family and G&G Norby and family) over for roasting marshmallows and hot dogs.

All in all it was a simple for day to celebrate these two!
