You would think after 10 trips here I would take less photos of the same things but I love to chronicle the growth of my kids on these toys: the purple dino
the holes in the former "stinky cement slide of death" now just "the stinky tunnels"
the swirly slide
This was their Fall Festival weekend, we took the hay ride
to the Pumpkin Patch!
All the kids got a free pumpkin to carve
This is Nate showing me the scary face he wanted to carve
Messy!
Getting ready for the costume parade (N8 was at a car show w/the guys)
Zach found another Darth Vader to fight (a girl with black go-go boots!)
Official portraits:
Heading out to Trick or Treat from camper to camper
Havin fun with Nana's decor
Nate's teacher Mrs Neise was also camping there!
Craft time (pirates, superheros and ninja turtles)
Ahhh.. brothers! This was the first time the boys slept on the same bed camping - cute, until Zach stole Nate's blanket at 4:30am! The second night we put their suitcases between them
Last Wednesday I got to help out in Nate's class at his school Clouds. It's so fun to see him interact with the other kids and act like a little man there.
At recess he likes to ride bikes
and play in the sand
Mmm snack time
And a sticker at the end of the day for being a good kid
I love these muffins at Starbucks so I found some copy-cat recipes online and merged them into this recipe that I'm taking to the Flipside Recipe Exchange today. Enjoy!
Jessica workin on her form:
Nice form Erin:
"Always look at your hands!"
Oh yeah, that's me way up there!
And on my way down :)
After a few "swing and drops" (no that's not the technical term) We learned to get our knees over the bar and reach back to grab the guy on the other bar
Here's Alisha gettin ready for a giant wipeout - she was tough and took the hardest falls yet she still got up and tried again!
Me and the birthday girl "Welcome to your 30's Jes, now watch everything on your body go to crap!"
This is supposed to be a shot of me and Erin and Alisha in our sweet stripy tights but apparently Courtney didn't get that message when I handed her the camera and said "Take a picture of us in our tights!"
Posin' on the practice bar
Check out those cool custom embroidered shirts they say "Gettin High on Jessica's 30th" Contact Erin's mom for all your custom embroidery needs!
Here's the videos. See you get 3 chances to make the catch to the guy on the other bar. I made it the 2nd time but alas, my camera's memory card decided to become full right before I did it :( so here I am missing the catch...But that's no fun! Here's Jessica making it!
And here's Erin makin it!
So as I sit her 3 days later; my little toe and half my right foot is purple, I have bruises on the back of both my knees, I have scabs on my knuckles from "net burns," my shoulder/armpit area is super sore and hurts whenever I lift my arms, I have to ask myself would I do it again... I think I would :)
