Happy 3rd Birthday Theodore!

 Theodore had a train themed birthday. He loves his choo choo trains.

Pa made this amazing train set. He did such a great job that I don't want anyone to play with it! I think Theodore had a fantastic birthday. We sure love you Theodore and are glad that you turned 3!

Pumpkin Chuckin'

 We went to see some good pumpkin chuckin'! They threw them so fast and so far that you lose sight of the pumpkin.

Grandpa stopped by for the weekend before Theodore's birthday. Theodore is working hard at turning three. He fell asleep in the stroller all scrunched up.

Pumpkin Festival

 We went to the pumpkin festival and saw some enormous pumpkins. The kids were a little excited about the huge pumpkins, but they were very excited for cotton candy.

 The largest pumpkin weighed 1,964 lbs. It was incredible!

Good Friends

These boys are good friends. They are great!

Apple Picking

The kids were pounding apples. Thad accidentally ate a bee that was sitting on his apple.

We picked some good apples! The kids had fun picking them. We also got a gallon of apple cider. It has started a new addiction for me.

Marie's Injury

Marie was running up the stairs to get something and tripped. She cut a decent sized hole in her lip.

Fire Station Visit

 It was one of the first cold days of the season, but we ventured out for the fire station tour. We enjoyed eating hot dogs and chips, watching a car get cut apart, and climbing in their vehicles.

 Theodore really wanted to drive the ambulance. He climbed in one and was angry that he couldn't get it to move. When he got in the fire truck, he asked where the keys were.

 We all went home with fireman hats, full bellies, and frozen fingers.

Spoon Feeder

 Thad is a proficient spoon feeder! He is pretty proud of his skills.

Outdoor fun!

 We made some 'lady bugs' that the kids enjoyed. Claire is showing off Pa's pumpkin.

 Ours kids are always happy if they are outdoors!

 The neighbors got a new go cart. We thought we would help them test it out! The girls sure loved it and Marie did a great job driving! It went surprisingly fast. It didn't idle for some reason. The second you put it in gear, it would squeal the tires and take off!
