Family Pics - Thanks Elisa!!

Family pics with a two-year-old, 7-month-old, and 30-year-old is not easy to accomplish. Thankfully, my friend Elisa was willing to try for us and did a great job. Here are my favorites. I LOVE them!!
By the time we took a few of the kids alone they were over it. Ryanna especially wanted nothing to do with it. :)
Take some of us without kids?!?!? We couldn't stop laughing.



Adorable!!

What a good looking family, if I do say so myself. :)

Where have we been lately?

Playing with friends. Quinten and Kate enjoy giving each other hugs and rubbing heads. Kate's giving him some tips on climbing. :)
PIcking up toys.....if you don't want Quinten to get it, don't leave it on the floor or within his reach.


Walking in high heels. I must admit, Ryanna is better at walking in them. Quinten wanted a turn but we've prevented that adventure so far.
Busting a move in heels!
Tearing the house apart. Quinten is into EVERYTHING and Ryanna loves to supervise. She's almost always a helpful and kind big sister......almost always.
Working it!

Playing peek-a-boo!

I swear I'm not obsessed with Halloween. It just provides so many photo opportunities!

Halloween Eve: Carving this pumpkin took about 10 minutes but provided an evening full of fun. Two of the teeth broke off during the carving but I think it just adds to his personality.

SPPPPOOOOOOOOOOOKKKKKYYYYY
Halloween day was gorgeous outside! I had been worried about the kids freezing but it was actually nice enough we played outside which we haven't done lately. Quinten is a professional leaf examiner. He didn't put anything in his mouth! I have him trained well. haha.

So we went to the trunk or treat at the church which had some ups and downs. Ryanna was excited but a bit overwhelmed by all the people in costumes. Then the Viking family said hello and she had a melt down. I told her she could either be happy or we would go to the car. She said through sobs "I want to be happy!" She eventually calmed down and enjoyed getting candy. Then we went to the Rec Center where they have a community party every year. We had stopped to see Mary before so were late for the candy. I wanted a pic of the kids but Quinten, frustrated with his costume because his legs were crammed without their own individual legs in the suit, kept arching his back and throwing both he and Ryanna on the grass.
This looks like an older sibling abusing the poor baby but actually Quinten was solely responsible.
A good one: pumpkin and penguin
