Pre-Halloween Catch-up

Here's Cpc playing soccer (due to rain his class was in the gym.
CPC: I love the guy that was by me. I love him so much. I'm kicking the soccer ball. I like this picture. It's so great. Here's Cpc at Lagoon (a while ago I know!)
Cpc: This is the Lagoon picture. It's me in a robot. It's a rocket. It looks like a cool picture, you will love it. It's picture of Cpc.

Cpc: It's a picture of dad doing the deck up at our cabin. He looks cool. I love our cabin, and the swing. That's all of it. (cpc took this picture)

Cdc: Uh, it's good. Oh, I saw something. We were hiking. The rocks are good ones. I brought a rock home.
Cpc: It looks so cool, because we're on a hike. It's of Cpc, Cdc, Arc and mommy! There's rocks and flowers and leaves that look beautiful. The leaves are different colors, because daddy likes them and I like them and mom likes them and Cdc likes them, because we were on a hike. I love the big tree, and the leaves on it.
Cdc: Uh, it's good. Cpc is playing with your hair. I'm clapping my hands. Oh, my light hair. I'm wearing a sweatshirt. Me and the computer, those pictures are good ones.
Cpc: Cdc is clapping his hands, and I am playing with your hair like I was just a minute ago.
Arc REALLY likes to push her head ALL the way back so that she can see EVERYTHING, and then she falls asleep. It doesn't matter how far down in the carrier we get her, she WILL get her head back like this!

These lucky boys got a signed ball at the UofU women's soccer game. As we walked in, one of the Student SID's (sports information directors) just stopped us and asked if our boys would like to have it.  What a cool way to cement the memory of the game in their minds! They are thrilled every time we play with it. Here's the kids after the church Halloween party. They had a blast!
We had a blast raking leaves - and we're excited to finish the job in the coming week. Arc also enjoyed our time outside. Even though it was a bit windy she just kicked and looked around the whole hour! She is definitely a nature girl.

I'd like to make this shot a yearly tradition with my kids. I LOVE raking leaves. We had SO MUCH fun jumping in the leaves. The boys really enjoyed climbing in the garbage can to smash them down - and then hiding under the leaves and having us close the lid on them. We recently enjoyed the UofU basketball scrimmage. Arc was tired. She is a 7-o-clock bedtime girl all the way.
