Day to Day

Evan wanted Autumn to do Ninja Warrior classes in town.  She LOVES it! And the coaches think it is funny that she shows up in pink every week.  I however hate it.  It is the most challenging one hour of my week.  I have to sit about 18 inches from all the equipment with three toddlers and convince them not to touch anything.  It is way worse than sacrament meeting (in turns of wrangling kids).

Evan and I went to see "The Music Man" at the dinner theater.  It was so fun!

For part of my Halloween costume I wore these dollar store glasses and punched out the lenses.  Autumn often wears these since "everyone else" in kindergarten wears glasses.  She keeps them on all day and doesn't fidget with them. People often think they are real.


Went to Kohls one day to Christmas shop for Evan and the girls found these "cute" hats.
New hair cuts for these three...Lark still doesn't have enough to cut
Autumn lost her first tooth! Her tooth had been loose since June.  I told her if she wanted to lose it she had better start wiggling it.  One morning she comes into my room and shows me how lose it is and asks if I'll pull it out.  I told her to hang on a minute. By the time I got to her she had already ripped it out all by herself.

 Autumn had her 50th day of school and celebrated with a sock hop.  She was mad that I made her pose toward the camera so I could see the skirt I made her instead of sideways with her back pack on.

Grandma Pattie's visit

My mom came to visit for a week while Evan was out of town for some sort of conference.  Since he got promoted in March Evan has done a lot more traveling than either of us expected he would.  So one day while my mom was visiting I had Autumn skip school (which she was NOT pleased about) and we went to Fort Collins for a re-do on the pumpkin patch.  It was actually abnormally warm and enjoyable.  We also went to JCPenny and got the kids' pictures taken.  My mom also kept my house clean all week and make several freezer meals for me while I napped.

Lark really loves saying "cheese" for pictures now.

Pumpkin Patch!

One of my favorite fall activities is visiting the pumpkin patch and taking lots of pictures of my kids at all the convenient picture locations.  The last few years we've gone with the local twins club and Evan's parents.  This year Evan's parents opted not to go, probably the smart move.  The wind was horrid we lasted long enough to go on the hayride then Evan was miserable and we left.






Evan bought me a new camera lens for my birthday that I finally tried out.



Hay ride
Poor Violet is very sensitive and usually cries when she is upset...which is different than Maverick and Autumn who just yell.


Twinners!
