Picture Post- What We've Been Doing

I just realized today that it's been over 2 weeks since I've even bothered to look at the 'ol blog.

LAME!!

.

So here's some pics to 'splain what we've been up to.

Red Ribbon Week at school included:

Crazy Hair Day

and Dress Like a Teacher Day

(I actually almost wish she could really wear glasses. How cute she is!)

We went to a Harvest Festival in Marana where the Daddy & the kids got to ride in a REAL monster truck,
and we all went on a little train ride. Somehow, shortly after this pic was taken, we managed to actually derail & nearly all died. Well, not really, but the kids were terrified after all the bumping & shaking stopped. Andy (who just happens to work at a real, live railroad) tried to show the workers how to re-rail the car, but they all knew better than he & decided to completely rip apart the car instead. Train ride over, mucho sad kiddos.So we hit the petting zoo for a while before heading home. Gotta keep these kids from getting too city-fied, you know! Andy & I also hit the big #10 this year on October 19. Unfortunately I was sick & he was having an allergic reaction to a bee sting, so we just had some apple pie at home & called it good. I had the idea to talk to the kids about how it was actually our family's birthday, since Oct 19 was the day our family began, and they loved the little "family birthday party" we had.

Then last weekend while Daddy was away killing us a deer, the rest of us rode up to Mt. Lemmon with some friends for our ward campout. The kids were REALLY excited to see where Mommy had been at Girls Camp & we all had a blast. We didn't spend the night (are you crazy?), but discovered that Frank is apparently a little pyro like his Momma

& Emma is happy just as long as she gets some hot chocolate.

Next time we'll definitely have to actually spend the night, as Mommy won't be 34 weeks prego.

So there you have it- October is now finished.

Next up: The holiday that never ends, aka Halloween!
