so this is what we do while Kylie is at school. Ella was in need of some one on one mommy and Ella time so I decided to let her paint. It went from making a pumpkin mask to finger painting to this, a little out of control, but we loved every minute of it. Those of you who know, this is not an activity that Karl would EVER do with the kids, it is a mommy project so I sent him the Hi Daddy picture and I am waiting for a reply, I thought it was great!!!

Today we went the apple farm to pick apples. the kids had a great time, they picked apples, pears, and raspberries. Kylie found a fuzzy caterpillar and she wanted to bring it home, but we decided to leave him there for fear he would die on the way home. It was fun, but I must say that these better be the best fruits I have ever eaten for the amount of money they cost. I always thought that U-Picks were supposed to be cheaper, I guess not when you live in the city. It cost $5 each to just go in the fields and pick and then per pound for each fruit....crazy!!! I do understand having to pay since at one point, Kylie had a bunch of raspberries in her bucket and 5 minutes later there were like 3 left. I guess we got our $5 worth in the field. any ways enjoy the pictures!

Here are some pics of Gavin Ella and Isabel. Isabel is our friend who is exactly two weeks younger then Gavin. She is only 1 pound lighter then Gavin but I think he has a good 4 inches on her, she is a peanut. Also, this is how Noah likes to walk around my house. The only difference sometimes is what he is wearing on his feet. Usually he has pink high heels or Kylies flip flops on. He if very proud of himself when he is wearing the helmet.

Well here are some pictures of our very rainy weekend last weekend. The girls and I were getting very stir crazy being in the house for so long so we went for a walk. The girls had so much fun. I put on their rain boots and coats, I should have just let them go bare foot, because I had to poor about a cup of water out of each of their boots. they had so much fun walking in the huge puddles and running in the swampy yard of ours. The rain coats really did no good since they both had to strip down to their undies before I would let them in the house because they were so wet.

Here are the girls at the Rocket Park Fest. There were a lot of different blow up bounce houses and slides as well as horses to ride, the girls had a great time even though it was like 95 degrees out.

What else has been going on here????? Well Karl is now back at work and Kylie has been in school for about 3 weeks. Everyone is doing well. Ella is both missing Kylie and enjoying being the oldest and bossiest I might add. Gavin got his first 2 teeth on sunday. Many of you may think this is early, but with our kids it is actually the latest. Kylie was 3 1/2 months Ella was 4 months and Gavin was 4 1/2 months with their first teeth. It is actually nice, the drooling has died down a little, we will see how long that lasts. Nothing new here with me, same old same old. I am going to get my hair cut off tomorrow, so that is a change and treat for me. I am excited, Karl is not. I just can't take Gavin ripping out my hair anymore. that is his new thing. That is all here Hope all is well with everyone else. Talk to you soon
