September come and gone

September 2012

One of the fun things we saw on our first morning in Colorado was a rabbit hopping up the street.  Since then we have seen about three more one of which was in our backyard.  Mental note (keep them out of our garden next year).  

I can't believe that Caroline is only a month and a half old and her hair will stay in a little clip.

A Georgia past time.  Playing in the rain.  The rain is colder here so Linc didn't want to stay out very long.  It was fun to see him in his rain boots again.

Lincoln also helped me to bake some cookies one day.

The boys were introduced to a slip and slide during Labor day.  When we came home they set up their own slip and slide in the living room.  Taking the cushions off of the couch they laid them up to create a ramp then put their blankets down as far as they would go.  Wild kiddos.

There were a few patches in the back yard that needed some help.  My dad gave us a bag of seed and we spent a portion of our morning getting it laid.  The boys had fun getting the soil prepped.

One of Caroline's first photos of her smiling.  I love it.

One day I walked in to see these two hooligans getting into the powdered sugar.  We put it away.  In the back of their minds they were not finished...

 In October I had had a rough night one night and the next day I asked the boys to be good while I took a nap with Caroline.  I admit I left them for too long.  I even woke up once realizing I had not put the powdered sugar away that morning, I shrugged the thought off.  When I came down around 11 I found it had snowed in my kitchen!  In some spots the powdered sugar was a 1/2 thick.  The only way at the moment that I could figure to clean it up was to wipe up as much as I could with a dry cloth and then I would have to get it wet.   

 I saw on Pinterest once that you can teach your kids to sweep by putting a square on the floor made of masking tape.  Both Lincoln and Henry had turns sweeping up the p.s.  This mess even made it on to the carpet in both living rooms.  After an hour I had the floor without any white.  It still needed at least three more washes.  Oh yeah and the day before our floors were super slick so I had mopped twice to try to fix the slick stuff.  Can I just say I was tired of mopping my floor.  From start to finish it took three hours to clean up the mess.

 Lincoln was pretty tired by the end that he fell asleep at the table.  That doesn't happen often.

Caroline turned two months old!

 

The weather is perfect fall weather.  I love the light coming through the trees.  They boys really love riding their bikes along the sidewalk.

Recently we have had an angry bird at our house.  Poor Linc has been quite ornery.  He really fell in love with Angry Birds when my sisters were out to visit.  I found these jammies 75% off at Target.  I wish he had given me his real angry face.
