Princesses and Pumpkins

This last weekend was pretty eventful for the boys.  We took them swimming Saturday morning and then to Madelines 5th birthday party.  It was a princess party. I love going to Madelines birthdays because I get to enjoy girly things!

The crazy gang

I'm trying to teach Quinn to stick his tongue out for pictures... I know, this isn't very classy.  Mike photo-bombed this picture.  Funny.

The mommy-princesses

Ronin in a princess hat - it will stick like that!

Quinny is my sweet little princess.

We are celebrating Clark Public Utilities 75th Anniversary this year.  We got new coffee cups :)

And my little boys know how to party like rock stars...  This took me 2 hours to clean up...

 

Quinny LOVES Blues Clues.  He stands super close to it, and he started memorizing the lines...  I'm not sure this is good for his development, but it's so cute to hear him ask for Blues Clues...

 

Sunday we went to a pumpkin patch in Boring or Damascus, Oregon with Grandma/pa Jones.  It was such a nice day and the little pumpkin patch wasn't super crowded like the popular ones. 

Quinn and me by some alien thingy...

Ronin rode in the caterpillar ride.

Found our pumpkins :)

Sillies

They had a horse drawn wagon to take us to/from the pumpkins

Ronin was super excited to ride up front.

And we made him pull the pumpkins to the car...

 



Boys are growing like weeds.  Ronin has his school pictures tomorrow.  Quinn LOVES swimming now.  If we ask if he wants to go swimming he gets all wound up screaming "SWIMMING! YEAH YEAH YEAH!"  it's too funny. I think we'll put him in lessons next month.

Ronin seems to be needing some special mommy-time lately.  Poor guy.  I know Quinn takes away a lot of my attention...  this parenting thing is super hard. 

Birthdays and Halloween are coming up!  I need to get ready for Quinn's cookie monster birthday :) 

Lots of love,

My little fishes

It's been a slow few weeks, thus the lack of blogs.  The boys are doing great.  Keeping me very busy chasing after them.  We went swimming with the new underwater camera last weekend, the boys had a blast and we got some good pictures of them :)

Ronin is getting so good at diving!

Look, I even went under water :)

Ronin and daddy on the slide

This picture is the best.  He didn't inhale any water, surprisingly.  It's so funny though!

Quinn looks uncomfortable...

Testing the hold of that inner tube..

We had a couple of nice days this weekend so the boys got to play in their power wheels.  Although Quinn just pushes the gas pedal and doesn't steer, so it doesn't go very far...  Ronin told me Bella (neighbor kid across the street) is his best friend.  aw!  They play together a lot.  I love seeing him play with the neighbor kids :)  Plus I get a break from being his slave for a while. haha

Bella and Ronin

 

Quinn likes to watch Blues Clues lately, although he doesn't have the attention span for the whole video tape, it's so cute to hear him ask for it.  I gave him a step stool to carry around so he could turn the lights on and off because, for some reason, that is fascinating to him.  He brought it to the silverware drawer, and since he can only reach the spoons with the child lock on, he started gathering spoons.  I hollared "Quinn, what are you doing?" and I heard him running away laughing with his spoons.  He had me rolling. Such a funny guy.

 

The other morning Ronin and I were watching WildKratz. And he goes “WHAT?! They don’t know the AWESOME POWER OF PIGEONS?!” and I said “you mean pooping on things?” and he replies with “No, pooping is not an awesome power, mom.” I asked what their awesome power is; he said “their beaks – are like scalpels!” Now I’m slightly afraid of pigeons…

 

Funny boys :)

 

Nothing new going on.  I can't believe it's October already!  craziness.

 

Lots of love,
