Today we had fun, Do you know what we made?

Pretzels!

Yummy!

too many days of rain made me order this jump around thing... we have NO ROOM for this but I needed the kids to have this ASAP! Since D was the only big kid home tonight he got to have it all to himself.

and then D decided it was his new bed

Adeline & Auggie got to go home with Uncle Josh yesterday so D'Angelo, Xavier, Oliver & I headed out to Lamb's Farm since there was a break in the rain this morning. We met up with our friend Debbie & her daughter Taylor. The place was empty today so the kids had wide open access to everything there. We had a nice time but D was so tired he fell asleep as soon as I started driving then still couldn't get awake enough to keep his speech appt. Amanda got her & we just couldn't get D to be a happy kid and play nice- all he wanted to do was curl up & go back to sleep. Better luck next week!

Grampy Walsh came from Arizona to visit us this weekend. We had a nice visit and are excited that he will be back to spend Christmas with us!

Xavier crakin' up!

Oliver looking concerned because here comes his big sister with the ball!

Adeline couldn't even wait for us to get the groceries up into the kitchen. She tore into the grapes before we were done unloading the car!

Luau

We all had a fun time at the Lafin Luau! It was nice to see all the family that we haven't seen since Thanksgiving! The kids jumped in the bounce house & ate lots of goodies. Thanks to Brenna & Amanda for playing with the twins :)

Little Dipper Ride

A wild ride for a little guy! He did take a second ride just after this first one though.

Kiddie Land

We went to Kiddie Land in the 90 degree heat-which is why we only lasted 4 hours there. The kids did enjoy their time there with the exception of Adeline getting crabby 2 hours into our time there. I should have known she would wind up getting the 48 hour fever/sickness that D'Angelo had then Auggie had & even poor Oliver ran a temperature for 2 days. All in all though it was an enjoyable day & we are going to try & get back again before the season is over.

Two HOT kiddos!

Thankfully this was at the end of our day.

so tired

Spaceship fun

These rockets were moving so fast that I couldn't tell if Adeline enjoyed any part of this ride or if she was just scared to death. I do know she was happy when the ride ended.

I remember loving these boats when I used to go to Kiddie Land as a little girl with my Grandma

Roll over...roll over

Xavier started rolling over from his back to front last week and did it a bunch of times today! Way to go XJ! Oliver did it for the first time 2 weeks ago but hasn't been doing it all that often like Xavier.

Corn

At Grandma & Papa's Place...

Rock County Fair

Darrell took the day off to take us to the fair. He is such a great papa to the kids! We spent the beginning of our time seeing all the animals at the fair. The kids even got to pet a couple cows. Then we had a bite to eat & played for about an hour or more in the dried corn (like a sandbox). We walked around, saw more animals and shared a funnell cake between us. The kids were getting tired but we couldn't leave the fair without getting on some rides. The kids really enjoyed themselves as did my Mom, Darrell and I.
