Fall Festival

Adalyn's school had a Fall Festival. I am not talking the dunking apples fall festival. This was a Fall Festival like no other. It was insane. Had tons of jumpy things, horses, 4 elephants, and a petting zoo. Where was this festival when I was growing up? We went had tons of fun ridding the elephant and horses. Adalyn event went down this huge jumpy slide. The line was long and I didn't really believe she would go up all by herself. It was like three stories. I would have been a little scared myself. She did it without any hesitation. I was so proud. I love that she has my adventurous side. Life can be so fun when you don't worry about consequences and jump in and go for it. I am so proud of you adalyn. With that statement I know I have to teach her about consequences but it fit for this occasion. She had so much fun!!!

She touched it! A little persuading but she did it. I am so proud!

Climbing

We went on down to the Audabon Zoo

We headed out to the Audubon Zoo a couple weekends. So much fun! The kids had a great time. Burke's, godfather, Scott met up with us. Adalyn had so much fun with him. Jeff and I loved it because he entertained her for a couple hours. What a great sport! Adalyn loves her some Scott. Despite the hours we spent walking around I would definitely have to say that the Carousel was her favorite. She drove us insane asking about it during the whole visit. Next time we do it first so we don't have to hear about it. So much fun!

Sunday Morning Tradition

We accidently started a Sunday morning tradition. It involves Jeff and the kids making pancakes. I LOVE this event. And no not because I am lazy and love my husband cooking for me. I love it because it is something that my husband and children love to do together. My daughter wakes up with a huge smile excited about cooking with her daddy. The pancakes are just a perk.

They Really Really Like Each Other

Every Wednesday my wonderful husband, Ima, has some mail bonding with our son so that I can go to an exercise class with some friends while Adalyn is in gymnastics. Well tonight I had a free pass to a consignment sale so I called to ask if Jeff minded watching the kids while I ran really quick to check out the goods. He was stressed because Burke was upset and fussy the whole time we were gone. So Adalyn and I prance in the house expecting meltdowns. Adalyn starts running around and Burke was laughing so hard I had to record it. She ALWAYS makes him laugh this hard. It is so funny. They love each other so much, well at least most of the time. Well some of the time. As long as she isn't trying to hold him down, throw lamps at him, or smother him. Anyways my point is does he seem super fussy? No I am kidding he is out of sorts but with this response at first I was like what? fussy? Now karma will come my way and I will be up all night with Burke. I get it. But you gotta admit his laugh is fabulous.
