The In Between

Here are a few pictures from the past week or so...in between all the Halloween fun.
It's all pretty random.  Sorry about that.  :)
Here is Johnny almost falling asleep in his chair.  He is getting so big.  Such a person!

 Here is Grant playing with John.  John LOVES when the kids come talk, sing and play with him.

 Me and Matthew playing Battleship
He is learning how to play a little better.  He doesn't tell me where his ships are anymore. ;)

 Anna's Veteran's Day homework honoring her Dad.
She decorated it her way.

 Our Jack-o-peppers - a special pre-Halloween meal
The yellow one lost his hat.

 The kids thought they were pretty cool...too bad they didn't eat them though

 Johnny looking stoic and sitting in the stroller.
He does like being outside, despite what it looks like here.

 Grant checking out some animal chalk drawings from Grandma

 Paper Matthew
Matthew made this at school - a life sized picture of himself
He hung it up in the dining room and everytime I walked by it it would freak me out.  It looks like a scary person looking at me (shiver).  But nice picture Matthew.  ;)

Mosaics!
We saw a cool mosaic planter at the zoo that Anna liked.  We scrounged some supplies together and my mom helped the kids make salt dough mosaics.  They had a lot of fun with it.

 Shaping the dough

 Grant sets sail in my red bins.   He looks like he's in a little boat.

 and having so much fun!

 Matthew made some airplanes(??) that he was very proud of.
He wanted me to take a picture.
 
 Shoes!
I got Johnny some little shoes.  He looked so cute!  I like his big eyes!

And Grant giving me something.  Grant is turning into such a big boy.  He can say a lot of words now...more each day...and he knows what he wants to do.  Usually it's whatever the big kids are doing.  He loves hearing stories, stealing candy from everyone's Halloween stash, dancing, trying to get people to clap for him and running in circles while waving his arms wildly.  We sometimes call him "the wild man of Borneo."  And we just love him!
