Let the Pumpkin Carving Begin

 Jon and Franki invited us over for grilled cheese and pumpkin carving- 
the perfect fall day! 
It was SO fun! 



 I just love how Elijah is watching Ryan carve- he was so intent.





 They loved jumping in the pile of leaves in their backyard.

Winters Blowing in!

8:30am today
1:00pm today- storms a brewin!

Yes, tomorrow all these gorgeous fall leaves will most likely be knocked to the ground with the 6-12 inches of snow they are calling for tonight into tomorrow morning for Denver and 8-15 for CastleRock- we are in the middle of these 2 places- we shall see! SNOW DAY????
 It has been SUCH a pretty fall. I will be sad to see it end.
On a MUCH happier note, my mom is flying in on Thursday-
 I am beyond excited! 

On another sad note, I hurt my finger last Friday. I stopped by a yard sale and found this great metal cabinet for only $2- as I was loading it in the van, it slipped and my finger got caught underneath it- of course, I pulled it out because it was SO painful and the nail totally separated from my finger. It was the MOST painful thing I've experienced in a LONG time! Everything started spinning and I had to sit down because I really thought I would pass out. Thankfully, my house was a block away, so I managed to get me and the 4 kids home. Of course, Mark was gone at a speech tournament till 10pm... the worst timing!
I couldnt stop crying for like an hour  because it was just throbbing. The kids were so afraid for me. Arianna went and got the computer and put The Office on for me without me even saying a thing- she knows what will make me laugh:) Sophia went and grabbed tylenol and water for me and Ella rubbed my back . Elijah just stayed away! My kiddos were so sweet to me and did everything their little minds could think of to help me feel better. I love them!
Eventually Mark called my inlaws and they were SO kind to come over right away and take care of the kids while I went to the hospital. Come to find out, I had a small break at the top of my finger bone. They thought about removing the nail but I asked if we could just leave it on and let it fall off itself- thankfully, they said ok! I also got a tetanus shot because it was an old metal cabinet- that sucker hurt SO bad the next day- I could barely move my arm. So, now I have this cool splint on my finger just for a week. The nail is SO tender.. hopefully that will heal quickly.

Well, off to see what the kids are up to- I hear Pink Panther music coming from the basement.. so hopefully they are just resting on the couch! I also need to grab a redbox movie or two and some bread since we may be stuck at home tomorrow! Could use a family snow day!
Have a safe and snowy night all my Denver peeps!

Thanksgiving Play Date






We had our dear friends, the Lutzs, over for a play date.. Elijah and Clara are only 3 weeks apart and may get married one day:). Maddie and the twins are both 4 and are good playmates. Little Ella goes back and forth between the babies and big girls playing well with both groups! And I have a friend too- Erika! She is a kindred spirit who I enjoy getting to know so much!
It is good to go thru life with FRIENDS...

A Quick Jaunt to the Park

I just love when I don't have to work at night and I get to stay at home with my handsome husband and help him control our rambunctious, high maintenance 4... Since our apartment is SO small, we try to get out as much as possible, so we braved the pending thunderstorm and went out to play.

Pumpkin Pickin

I LOVE FALL... Alyssa, Christie and I went with our kiddos plus Maddie to a Pumpin Patch about an hour away. It was so much fun although very crowded. The kids went on rides and picked "baby" pumpkins! My family had to leave early since my twins were SO afraid of the bees and flies and really couldn't enjoy themselves! Oh well, this fear will hopefully go away soon... Until then, I have to deal with irrational little 4 yr olds...But here are some of my favorite pics...
