Look at These Big Girls Sitting at the Table!

Candy Corn

Last Sunday was the always a blast Cousins Bash. Somehow Brooklee and Dallyn escaped into the kitchen. I knew they were there but I was enjoying the conversation too much to go check on them. Next thing I know I see Brooklee and the stains in the front of her dress. It only took a second to realize that it was candy corn drool. That'll teach me to watch my kids better. (Sorry Dana! And yes, it all came out of her dress, and no, she wasn't crazy on the way home.)

These Bums

The past couple of posts I have meant to share something monumental. As of about two weeks ago Adriel can tell these bums apart. In the past when she had something to complain about she would come running in to me and say "that baby {long pause while she thinks}". Then she'd leave and come back shortly, "that baby in the pink hit that baby in the purple."

So finally she can now tell them apart and has corrected me a time or too. She is proud to share with her cousins or friends that "Dallyn has a scarf on her forehead."

Also there have been a couple of occasions when I have misnamed a twin and they have corrected me. It's so cute to hear them say their own and each other's names!

Pumpkins!

The tractor ride to the pumpkin patchNotice the sticker on Brooklee's hand? Adriel got those in the mail from Grandmama and insisted on bringing them to the pumpkin patch. She kept saying she was going to give one to the tractor driver, which she did, along with all the kids that were on the tractor with us.Brooklee finds her pumpkin. The rule was that the kids had to be able to carry their own pumpkin, mainly because we didn't want to pay for the huge ones :)We opted to paint, rather than carve, pumpkins this year. I was anticipating cute faces, but only Phillip went that route. (Well, the face he painted wasn't exactly cute...he wanted to have fangs and dripping blood.)It did start getting a little messy, especially when Brooklee got bored with the pumpkin and painted her feet instead.The painted pumpkins

Hogle Zoo

We had a great time at the zoo. I was surprised to see that the gorilla thing had been updated!The highlight was going on the train, but no pictures from that because I was making sure no one fell out. Here is the whole group.And this one is even better because it was taken with Jenny's camera instead of my cell phone.

First Day of Preschool

Not surprisingly Adriel loves going to preschool. Sometimes when I ask her what she did or what she ate for snacks she responds with, "I don't want to tell you."And, of course, the silly picture.Also Tyler took this picture of Dallyn this morning and it is my new favorite of her :)
