Where has November gone?!

With only one week left in this month of November, I find myself asking where has this month gone? It seems as though it was just last weekend that we were dressing up and going out for trick-or-treating! It has been a VERY quick month in passing and we are really looking forward to our trip to Eastern Washington for Thanksgiving. Until then, here are some pictures of what has been keeping the boys busy these past few weeks (or at least the activities I got pictures of!).

SUPER CUTE BOYS!!!Garrett's preschool teacher introduced the perfect pumpkin activity in class last month and the boys had a blast doing it at home...hammering golf tees into a pumpkin and using the back of the hammer to pull it out to do all over again. This kept them occupied for days!


"Safety first" as Mason always says!

Ooey, gooey pumpkin hands!

Pumpkin carving again in November...give Garrett a pumpkin knife and watch him work :)

Mason LOVES to tie things up and has become an amazing knot tier, especially for a 2 year old! In this picture, he has suspended his stuffed animal between the trampoline and play house; all the while being able to tie and untie when needed. I especially love how proud he looks in this picture! Mason and Daddy in their IDAHO gear...GO VANDALS!

Garrett and Stella, too cute!

This is what happens when a five year old gets his first filling and proceeds to school afterwards...yikes!!! So it seems, Garrett chewed and sucked on his numb lip for 2 hours and turned it into a huge raw meat like, soon to be blistered lip! Many lessons were learned with this first cavity...sorry Garrett!

My great laundry helper :)

Decorating the Christmas tree was so much fun this year, I love seeing how excited the boys get when the decorations come out! Nearly all the ornaments were put on the tree by them...clustered in some places, but done with pure joy!

Easel painting...the boys love it!
