Pumpkin Splash

The park district has this even each year.  they fill the indoor zero depth pool with plastic pumpkins filled with treats (kind of like an Easter Egg Hunt).  Josh was finally old enough to participate this year.  

Bringing his haul...in fact, he got 10 spider rings...one for each finger! 

Caitlyn wasn't old enough to participate, but they did have a free swim, and isn't this bikini from my friend Mandy the cutest!

Gabe invited Josh and Madden to Monkey Joe's for his birthday!

Mommy, Cake Boss?

As part of the cake decorating class I'm taking (first decorating attempt above), I took a shot at making a frog cupcake.  I knew we were going to decorate cupcakes at class this nite, so I spent hours quickly checked out pinterest (you can see some of my inspirations here) for some other craftier people's successful attempts at decorating cupcakes with frogs.  This was a pretty easy one, just added some eyes and used a toothpick to make the smile.  

Josh seemed to like it.  

A LOT.  though he only at the frosting.

Jared had a little work to do, so Josh decided to get some work done too

Not to be left out, Caitlyn thought she could update a  few spreadsheets too.

Remember when Josh was about this age, he wanted to play on the computer too!

Quiet Moment

we don't have many quiet moments of this energetic boy, but playing quietly on my phone while waiting at the post office.

Photo Booth

It's become a tradition that we try to take pictures in a photo booth while on vacation...

Unfortunately, it's also a tradition that it takes forever to upload them!  This is from back in May (6 months ago!) when we were in Disney.
