Here are some random pics of what we've been up to this week. The pictures seem to be piling up quicker these days before I'm able to get them posted! We met our playgroup at the Arboretum Friday morning for a picnic. Here Filson & Ian are climbing the mushrooms with a couple of the girls.
Lined up & ready for skipping/hopping/running races
A wild game of "Duck, Duck, Goose", of which the concept was obviously lost on this group of toddlers, as you can see no ducks remained in their spots!
If you look closely, you can see the deer in our driveway. Lately, Ian spends lots of time "looking for deer" or asking "where did that deer go"? So early Saturday morning as he's staring out the window, John asks him what he's looking for, which he replied "that deer". We got a good laugh when we realized he in fact was finally looking at his deer!
After Filson's soccer game Saturday we had a "family reunion" picnic for the renters/owners at the marina & then a pool party at a neighbors down the street. I had a hard time thinking anyone would want to be swimming in October, but it ended up being a gorgeous day for all the activities. Here Filson is hanging out at the marina during the picnic.
Little Grant loves sitting in the hippo chair being fed. I don't know how we'll keep enough food in our house to feed these 3! John snapped these pics yesterday because his little fuzz was sticking up & looked like he woke up with "bed head".
Our friend is organizing a drive for the Pajama Program, which collects new pjs/books to be shipped to children that are waiting to be adopted & may not have the comfort of being tucked into bed by their parents each night. This morning we went to a friends house for a PJ Party to decorate the box we will use to ship our collection.
Ian getting in on the action
Grant & Ren having their own party, steering clear of all the tiny "non-baby proof" stickers & misc. craft supplies that ended up on the floor
The boys are shocked to discover donuts, donut holes & rice krispie treats
in addition to the bowl of popcorn they had just finished off. They are not used to a feast like that at 9:30 in the morning, and took full advantage of it!
Daddy's Little Pumpkin
Our 3 Little Monsters
Trick or Treat Under the Sea
Pirate Filson pondering the googlie eyes in the tank
1st stop of the night for treats
They have a lot of fun decorations & put something in almost every tank. The stingrays are swimming under this pirate.
The shark's tank, but we missed the costumed divers this year. We were able to catch a performance of the magic show, Pirates Have Problems. It had us all laughing & must have made an impression on Filson, he's tried a few "magic" tricks on me today!
Those are some serious shark's teeth!
