I realized I haven't 'unloaded' my phone photos for quite some time...so to keep the momentum of this blog going I thought I could entertain you with some pictures from Aug-Sept 2011. I found some really great videos too -- but because there are so many photos I'll put the videos in a separate post. Enjoy!
Sam helps shuck some corn from our garden....ah, remember the days of sunshine and warmth? It is snowing outside my window as I type this...longing for those warm days again already!
Snack time is fun time at our house!
Somebody decided that mom needed to take a plastic egg with her to work -- what a nice surprise. Awww....
Sam is a voracious eater.... well, when he gets it IN his mouth (as noted by cheese in hair). But actually, no complaints about his eating habits at all. He's been a great eater from day one -- never afraid to try something new! He is also very adept at eating with fork and spoon and drinking directly out of a cup. I love it!
Nina came over to play with us one last time before we moved out of the old house. Sam and Nina were good buddies...
Max and Nina were playing well together too...although you'd never guess it from the sour face on my little boy here. NICE.
We had a great time at Max's co worker's wedding at the ICC downtown Milwaukee. They even had an indoor Bocce area! Guess where we spent most of our night? Max was the Bocce King....
In September, little Max officially started 3K. He was (and still is) super excited.
Some mornings at work there is a welcoming crew outside my front door! Hi guys!!
Because 'I am who I am', I baked cookies for our closings. BUT....I had already packed up the cookie sheets -- so, I improvised and made my own out of tin foil. Worked like a charm!
We closed on both houses on Sept 12th -- here we are doing the 'final sweep' with ducky....
Sam, lover of all sports, is already making daddy proud. "OCKEY!" he screams!!
The annual pumpkin patch trip -- can't believe how big the boys are getting!
Sam isn't so sure...
In October, my clumsiness caught up with me when I accidentally got my thumb slammed in a bathroom door (obviously I need to perfect my 'crane move'). To say it hurt was an understatement. In fact, I remember cursing and swearing and exclaiming that it 'hurt worse than child birth" -- which says a lot considering I birthed both of my babies au natural. :) It instantaneously turned black and blue. I put the picture up on Facebook and people started commenting that i needed to poke a hole in my nail to relieve the pressure. Not wanting to do that to myself, I resigned and made myself an appt at my doctor's office.
And yes, they DID poke a hole (more like burned a hole) through my nail to relieve the pressure -- and while the pain did not go away right away, it did make a noticeable difference. They also x-rayed my thumb and couldn't rule out the possibility of a hair-line fracture -- so off I went with a fancy splint on my thumb (just in time for family photos). Luckily, I could remove it for those, and I didn't have to wear it all that long (it was mostly just for protection from being bumped by two very active boys).
Trick or Treat!! Little Max wanted to go as a pirate this year, and who was I to argue with that? I got this adorable puppy costume for Sam (which hopefully he can use again next year because I have a VISION) and he was in LOVE with it. He still asks to put it on! I don't blame him as it is super soft and snuggly....
So, there you have our last 3 months in a nut shell! I should have some video up soon too, so you can enjoy some sound with your visuals! Happy Thursday!

Did not know about the nail! That would make things a little more complicated than they already were, huh? And SNOW outside already? Sorry, girl. Those sure are some cute kids, Stef. They are busy, busy!!
