Cars chair

This little girl has taken over the Cars chair as her own.  And she is adorable in it, even with her shaggy, post-bath, hanging-in-the-face hair going one.

Lego Time

With the weather turning colder, we've been forced to spend more time indoors.  More time indoors means the kids spend more time building stuff with the Legos. 

No surprise that Brady has been on a big kick of buildings cars and planes and other things with wheels. 

 Brenna does a great job of picking up the Legos and putting them away, but she's not so helpful during the building phase.  However, Brady is such a sweet big brother that he almost always will build a small car specifically for Brenna.  What a sweetie!

Fall fun

Brady and Brenna got to spend an evening with The Williams Family.  Mrs. Williams is an elementary teacher, so she is super crafty (and she actually follows through on all the cute craft ideas she pins on Pinterest). 

Brady and Braxton made jack-o-lanterns. 

 All the kids gathered leaves.  They had a very good time. 

Ready, Set, Go!

It's kind of hard to understand on this video, but little miss Brenna has been a running fool lately.  She's been listening to her brother and can now say "Ready, Set, Go."  Though most of the time she forgets to say ready and skips right to Set, Go! That's what she did in this video anyway. 

Pumpkin Patch, Part 3

Brenna had plenty of fun at the Pumpkin Patch as well.  She loved this bean bag game; the girl can throw!

 The hay pit was, as always, a big hit.  This year they had a rope swing and a slide. 

 Brenna had more fun throwing the hay. 

 She was also quite happy to pick out the smaller pumpkins (or would you call those gourds?). 

Pumpkin Patch, Chapter 2

The tire zip line was a big hit again this year.  Both Brady and Braxton loved it.  They got to ride it several times before that area started to get a little crowded with other kids. 

Pumpkin Patch 2012, Chapter 1

We took a TON of pictures at this year's Pumpkin Patch, so I'm going to take the liberty of separating them into some different posts throughout the day. 

We went to the L'il Munchkins Pumpkin Patch on Saturday, Oct. 20th.  We went first thing in the morning and that was the perfect time  We got there right as it opened and it wasn't crowded at all.  The timing was fortunate because by the time we left the place was packed!

This is our 3rd going to this particular pumpkin patch and we still love it, as evidenced by the fact we keep coming back every year.  We went with our friends, The Williams Family, so Brady and Braxton could play together.

The boys posing by a wagon.

 Riding in the barrel wagon.  I don't think they'll both fit into the same wagon next year. 

 The barrel slides were a big hit this year.  They changed a bit from last year--longer, but less steep.  Fortunately they still had lots of hay padding to cushion your landing.

 I had not idea the planks below would be entertaining, but the boys played on those for a long, long time while waiting for the zip line. 

 Look at the balance on Brady!
