Gavin Teeth

Poor Gavin has to get 4 teeth pulled to make room for his adult teeth coming in. We went to the family dentist in hopes that he could get them pulled out without being put unconscious for it. They only got 1 out and he wouldn't let them do the rest. So we have to go to a pediatrician to put him unconcscious to get the other 3 out.

He wasn't happy about it. He was especially mad that he had a fat lip. He was crying saying it looked weird and everyone would make fun of him. He was also mad that it wouldn't stop bleeding. He said he never wanted to go back. But now a day later all is fine.

Halloween Finale

The final costumes for the kids to go Trick or Treating.

Grandma & Grandpa

Went Trick or Treating with Cousins.

Costume Pictures Halloween 2012

Brody says he is a police man.

 Paris put on the Care Bear costume when Brody got ready for school. Had it on all morning.

 Then she changed halfway through the day when we got ready to go to Brody's preschool class for trick or treating. Paris wanted to wear a dress so she changed to a vampire princess.

 Ava and Paris waiting for Brody and Eli to get done with preschool.

 Getting ready to trick or treat.

 Going trick or treating. They had a fun time.

Pumpkin Time

We had to carve pumpkins.

 Yes Paris did get a little cut because she insisted on using a pumpkin carving knife.

 Brody liked his pumpkin to have eye patches from the tops.

 Paris thought because it had a candle you sing happy birthday. So she sang and tried to blow out the candles.

Start of Halloween

Gavin school did Halloween Literature Parade on Friday. I made Gavin use what we have, so he was a Gi-Joe from the book "It's A Free Country" in the army clothes that Travis picked up while he was in the marines.

 And of course Paris had to join in the picture with her dirty blanket.

Trampoline

We have had the trampoline in the spare room for some time now. But we really need the space so the trampoline has made it outside now. The kids think it is fun. I will probably be a little sad come summer when I can't send them in the other room to play when it is hot.

 I bought 4-50lb bags of sand because we are turning the "dirt" spot, where the grass should be, into sand area. Well we will probably need 20 more bags of sand to fill the whole area. Who knew how much sand goes into a playground. Something we are going to have to pick up every time we go to a craft activity at Lowes or Home Depot. Spread out the cost a little.

 The kids have loved having sand to play in though.

For Christmas we are getting a new swing set for the kids. The set we have now is missing a leg and as Chris and Grandpa put it "a safety hazard", but I am unwilling to take it down until we get the other one up because it is beautiful weather and we want to play outside. So Grammy and Grandad and helping buy it for Christmas and we are taking Grandma and Grandpa's money from Christmas and getting a "Big" 10 ft high swing set that will accommodate Gavin. I am excited. I want to buy other stuff for our "playground" but they will have to wait.

Zoo

Well we don't go to the zoo often. But we went with friends over fall break. Nice to get out of the house. By 1:00pm we were hot and tired.

 Brody's good friend Benji.

 Gavin and Paris got to ride the camel. Brody did not want to ride it.

 Paris loves her picture taken.

 Paris loves to hold the hamster. I am positive the hamster does not like to be held. The hamster climbs all over Paris who screams and drops her often. Paris doesn't like to put her away.

 I made this side table while the boys were at the scout police station. Paris helped by spilling a quart of stain all over the garage floor. Fun times cleaning up messes.

Gavin Scout Go See It

For Gavin Tiger scout go-see-it they went to the police station which also included the firefighters. Chris took the boys, but from what they said. They had an awesome time.

 The went into a holding cell and into the police cars.

 In the Fire Truck

 See the fireman.

 Fun times with the scout group.
