Morning Book Club

I do so like it when they play nicely together.

Hats

Caitlyn in the turtle hat, Josh as a pirate.

Summer Nights

playing together

First strawberries, delicious.  We finally fenced them in so we weren't "sharing" with the squirrels 

Sara and Brett over to thank them for Brett helping to build the swing set

 Smores for Dessert!

Happy 4th Birthday (party) Josh!

We celebrated Josh's 4th birthday at Monkey Joe's

Caitlyn was wiped out!

ready to open presents

not sure why they were on the floor, but I think this was after dinner, ready for bed

random Monday postings

Caitlyn LOVES the swings

JOsh asked me to take a picture of another of his drawings, but I can't remember what it was supposed to be! 

Holding hands

I will capture this as often as I can because who knows how long they'll get along.

Do you like my hat? Oh, and holding hands

all together now: Awwwww

they do play well together...most of the time,

and Caitlyn can hold her own too...see she's pushing him out of her way!

reading together before bed

Saturday morning, new hairstyles

Josh suddenly wanted to spike up his hair, and I got a bow in Cailtyn's hair for a few minutes

Siblings

Not sure what we were doing here, but I was able to catch a quick shot of the two of the kiddos...later I realized this was the day Josh took a pair of scissors and cut this shirt, just to see what would happen I think.  RIP Thomas.

Siblings

playing before bath time

Happy Fall!

The leaves were just at the right point of changing...lots of color and not too much had fallen yet, so we quickly stopped at the forest preserve to try to catch some pictures of the kids in the afternoon light.  

This is what happens when Josh stops looking at Caitlyn, but doesn't want her to fall off the bench.

cozy coupe and scooter later

She loves riding in this and I love to put her in it because she can play outside and I don't have to hold her squirming body!
