My helpers and some Croquet

Here are some pictures of my little helpers.  They can do so much more these days. We did figure out that it is easier for levi to cut onions from a stool though since his eyes are too close when he just stands which =no fun.  But they are always more than willing to help with "real" work!

And then they have been enjoying some indoor and outdoor croquet thanks to the cute set from nana and papa! (Clara was playing too but decided to do some gymnastics jumping moves when I was taking pictures.)

September fun...

 Have I said lately what a crazy man Ollie is?  I guess a busy three year old with lots of ideas and a desire to make his big brother and sister laugh explains it.  This is his "trailor" he made all my himself to pull around with his bike. 

 And all three kids have been enjoying the free basketball goal we found by the side of the road.  They keep thinking of ideas to make a net for it. 












And then enjoying some tree climbing. He just had it in his head one morning that he NEEDED to climb a tree today!

 

The kids helping wrap a birthday present for a friend from church who had a birthday party last weekend.  They enjoyed jumping on the bouncy house in their swim suits since it was raining!

This is our readoholic.  Levi has enjoyed levi more and more.  He was really into the Magic Treehouse books this summer but now has moved on to the Survivor books and anything baseball.  

And Ollie enjoying a random morning treat with mommy in honor of Aunt Cindy and Sally's birthday week this week I guess!  :)

It's September

I am trying out some posting from my phone.  Here are some pics of our September so far! A huge playroom fort over labor day weekend, lots of magic tricks after Levi read a book about magic at school, lots of mommy playtime for Ollie and lots of coloring for ck.(that is her preferred home from school veg out activity.)  Happy September! Levi has officially started his birthday count down with the birthday place mat..22 days!

 

Ollie enjoying washing some pumpkins and gourds from the garden! 

Almost fall...

We had our first fall fire tonight. It is getting cooler at night this weekend. The kids really were really excited and were hoping to catch fireflies too but it wasn't dark enough this time but they have something to look forward to!
