Halloween

Our Halloween didn't go as we had planned, so we didn't actually end up trick or treating. The boys didn't know any different, so it didn't bother them at all. But, since I had made Halloween costumes for them, we put them on & let them play in them anyway.

Joshua seriously does not like having his picture taken. I think it runs in the family though! I appliqued these shirts for them & bought the hats from a shop on Etsy.

Timothy, on the other hand, loves being the center of attention. If he sees a camera, he says "Smile. Take pictures."

Finally - an almost smile!

Joshua's 6th Birthday

That is so weird to say! 6?? It has gone by so fast! Joshua has adjusted to school & therapy so well, even though it takes up so much of his week. He loves both school & therapy, and he is learning so much. He comes home singing songs from school & we are constantly amazed at how many words he can read & spell. We still haven't improved in the picture department though, but here are a few:

Always entertaining, regardless of who's day it is!

Enjoying the birthday song.

Not as big a fan of the cookie cake as we thought he would be.

Third year for a cookie cake. He likes trains this year. However, he didn't like the cake. He sat there for the song & then asked for animal crackers. So the adults enjoyed the birthday cookie cake while he enjoyed animal crackers. Go figure :)

Sight Words books & flash cards...quite the hit with our little reader.

And a rare picture of Belle, as she doesn't seem to make the blog often! She enjoyed having all of the grandparents around to snuggle next to.

Pumpkin Patch

If anyone even still checks my poor blog, we are still here! I can't believe its been 2 months since I posted anything...so sorry! I think we have finally adjusted to our new school schedule but we stay super busy. With both boys having activities/school during the week plus therapy most afternoons & Bible study during the week, we are busy. Add to that starting a business & having it really pick up as the holidays approaching....well, we've just been busy! So thankful for all of it though as it has been good.

Anyway, I thought I better get our fall posts done before Christmas decorations go up :)

I did go on a field trip with Joshua's class to the pumpkin patch but didn't take a single picture. We went to a different pumpkin patch with both boys & attempted some pictures. As you can see below we weren't very successful, but at least this can document that we did in fact visit a pumpkin patch this fall (I think it is a requirement if you have young kids!).

Not a great picture but I think it is the only one I got that actually shows Joshua's face!

Sweet brothers

Timothy is thrilled with pumpkins.

Joshua trying to climb in the window. I was attempting to get them close together to get a picture. No such luck!

Seriously loves pumpkins. He wanted all of them.
