Pumpkin Patch

On Friday Oct 21st Bradley, Kiersten and I went to Modesto to go to the Pumpkin patch with My Sister Shannon and her two boys Eli and Jackson. My Mom Patti also met us there.


We went on hay rides,Hopped on the "Hay Bales" which were mattresses under the tarps. The kids loved this the most! Fed the farm animals, rode tricycles around a track, etc!

After the Pumpkin Patch we went to my sisters to paint the pumpkins we bought for the kids. Kiersten was okay wearing an apron but Bradley refused and ultimately got covered with paint.
Blogger is not letting me upload more photos. They are all downloaded on Facebook if you want to go see them.

Goofin' off during naptime.

Even thought Kiersten refuses to nap, she still has to go in the toy room/extra bedroom and have quiet time to her self with all her books and toys. Very rarely she will lie on the bed and actually sleep. She is notorious for taking her diaper off so I go in a check on her every so often. This is how I found her today. Singing her self to sleep in the toy box with her lullaby bear and blanket. And yes of course, she had her diaper off. When I was done re-dressing her she asked for me to put her back in the toy box.

Applesauce!

I keep reading posts on face book about making home made applesauce so I decided to make some! I thought Psh it'll be easy with my apple/peeler/corer/slicer thingy-ma-jig. Two apples in and the thingy-ma-jig broke. Darn it! So I had to do it all by hand.


MMM Can't you just smell them? I am so excited to eat them tonight!



Its such hard work makin' applesauce!
Bradley took all the couch cushions off so he could cuddle and watch Despicable Me while I was working away.

The Death of Naptime

One of my best friends in the whole world died- Naptime. I will be mourning the loss of this dear friend for quite a while.

I heard some giggling and "again! Again!" coming from the kids bedroom. I went in to check on them and found this.



They were standing on top of the dresser with a disaster zone below them. At least they weren't by the window this time.
Bradley has been trying to reach for the light switch for quite some time. Today he figured that if they took Kiersten's mattress and dragged it next to the dresser, emptied out every single drawer, then used the drawers for a ladder they could stand on top.

I normally nap them separately but lately they just play in their room by themselves for an hour then ask to come out. I was thinking if I put them together then they will play for more than an hour so I can get more tasks done....not.
I moved them into the toy room while I cleaned the mess up. They are still playing nicely...and of course my neighbor is banging around upstairs like normal due to the noise.
