November's Phone Pics

Hi guys,

Here's what we were up to last month!

Hammer chose a pumpkin pie shake for our date, a first for both of us!:
Lulu got to go with me to the Pinner's conference! We met a friend there and had a great evening shopping and trying out the massage chairs:
Creepy crows:
Pizza with our besties!:
All I want for Christmas:
We had some pretty fantastic sunsets:

Helping Great Grandma and Great Grandpa. Dad hung lights, we raked lots of leaves:
and Lulu and Allie helped decorate inside!:
Trying out our whole wheat grinder. It made pretty fantastic flour:
Fish's first time being invited to a birthday party! You loved Chuck E Cheese:
Lulu and I went to a boutique with our friends and then got dessert afterward:
No one had cavities at the dentist! TJ wanted to take a picture with his old tooth brush before he started using his new one, so he never forgot what it looked like:
Dinner to go from In N Out:
Of course:
Lulu's first singing performance was at the city's holiday lighting program:
Fish and I did click list shopping for the first time, where you order ahead and they bring it to your car. It was pretty awesome. As we unloaded the groceries the Chex box had a recipe for Muddy Buddies on the back and Fish wanted to make them immediately. I thought, why not?:
Grandpa came up one night for dinner and to go to an art show with us. The two art winners and their framed pictures at the new IHC clinic:
Fish's was displayed in the hall:
We got treats and awards and visited with our pediatrician!:
We had a healthy great month!
Love,
Mom

October's Phone Pics!

 Here's what we were up to in October!
Life according to our phones:

Conference cinnamon rolls:
 Hammer lost a tooth but couldn't leave it under his pillow.  You wrote the tooth fairy an explanation:
She got the memo and left money:
 Picking pumpkins with cousin:
 I finished Gramma's mural:
 Picnic in the warm Fall sun:
 Kiddos and Mamas at the park while the daddies hunt:
 Visiting Grammie, and Hammer found a kitten to love:
 Watermelon Jack o Lantern with our last yummy melon:
 Our scholastic book order came!:
 Fire station open house:

 Pluto loves the little frisbee the boys got from the fire station. He had a hard time figuring out how to pick it up off the floor:
 Looking for Halloween costumes at the DI. Lulu didn't love the Raggedy Ann wig:
 Hammer had 2 teeth pulled, so you got prizes from the dentist and money from the tooth fairy. You didn't like the way the laughing gas made you feel. It made you sick to your stomach and that was really sad. Now we know not to use that!:
 Turning in our artwork for a contest at the doctor's office:
 A cool sunset:
 I helped at Fish's Halloween school party:
Fish keeps putting on Pluto's collar and taking him on walks throughout the house. Pluto gets excited at first because he thinks he's going outside, then just has to follow Fish around the house:
 Ward trunk or treat!:
 Fish gets to play with a friend whenever I help out with TJ's class store:
 TJ wanted a family picture with all of his gorillas:
 Last day at Lagoon!:

 TJ was so brave and finally tried the Puff roller coaster, and loved it. Of course:
Hammer goes fishing with Dad:
 and then TJ wanted to eat the fish that they caught and brought home:
Lastly, all the baby stuff we gathered for refugee baby bundles ready to go:
 October was awesome! Let's make November awesome too.
Love you all,
Mom
