baking

Along with our Halloween crafts, we made pumkpin bread.  W is becoming quite a little baker.  He is very helpful with the making part.  We are still working on the waiting for it to bake part.  But he is a great taster.

W showing off our crafts we made last weekend.  He was very excited to make bats.  

Now we can move on to planning our Thanksgiving crafts.

fun at the marina

 We went to Frisco Marina at the end of September for a free concert with Buckner Funken Jazz and fireworks.  We brought a blanket and had a picnic dinner.  It was a lot of fun.  It was the 4th of July we never got.

The boys enjoying the show.

the rock

 

 We finally climbed up to "the rock" in Castle Rock.  W was a great guide.  He did this hike back when he was 3 with his G-ma & G-pa Shotts.  It was beautiful day.  I think we will do this hike again.

movie night

 While in Castle Rock this past weekend, the boys had a movie night with "The Incredibles".  They both really liked G-ma and G-pa Shotts' recliner couch. 

Zeph didn't make it to the end of the movie, but he really enjoyed his short time hanging with W.

treasure

W got a trip to the Doctor on Thursday (which happened to be crazy hair day at school).

W decided to stick a bead (treasure) up his nose during nap time.  Still not sure why he did this, but he did.  I hear it's a right of passage.

His teacher got really close to getting it out, but she just couldn't get W to blow it out.  So, I get the call to take him to the doctor.  I must say, it was the quickest trip to the doctor's office I have every experienced.  We were in and out in 30 minutes.  Which was great, since during this entire ordeal, W's main concern was being able to get back school to play with his friends.  W has agreed to not do that again.  I have asked his teacher to make sure that he does not do nap time by the art supplies.
