Shaving cream and Hotwheels. We can’t go outside, so we’re pretending we are playing in the snow.

Fall trip to the orchard

We took a trip to Jake’s parents’ house today and were able to enjoy the beautiful weather!  The kids got to trick-or-treat at Grandma and Grandpa’s house and then we headed to the apple orchard where my mother-in-law works ever fall.  The older three Littles loved checking out the animals, climbing the hay bales, playing on the wooden train, going for a tractor ride and navigating the corn maze.  Little #4 wasn’t very enthralled with taking group photos with her siblings, but we tried.

My future SIL gave the kids these fun sunglasses and stickers today. She has a knack for finding such fun things for the Littles.

We also had to try them on Little #4. Her expression cracks me up!

Tour of parks

We have been joining our friends for a weekly tour of parks this summer. Today we had a lovely lunch outside and played at TWO parks – one on each side of the street. As always, the littles had a blast!

Making eggs

Little #3 is cooking eggs for her dad and using a wrench to mix them so she doesn’t burn herself.  (Her description, not mine.)

Big little and little little

I was running errands tonight and Jake texted that this was going on at home:

  

  

Apparently our biggest little was very helpful tonight so Jake let him stay up a bit longer. When he asked Little #1 what he wanted to do, he told Jake he wanted to have Little #4 on the boppy pillow and he would build something for her. How sweet is that?!?
