Mario Rhett

Our favorite Halloween friend, Frank. Kids love the song he sings. He used to jump around, but he is too old for that now.

Pumpkin Carving and Drawing

Crazy faces to match the crazy faces on the pumpkins.

Myles organizing cars while the kids cleaned out the pumpkins.

Caramel's design requested to be carved.

Rhett's crazy design.

Remlinger's Farm and Grandpa Neil

Daddy took a picture of us with Grandpa Neil before the pumpkin hunt began.We took the fun drive out to Carnation. It was a beautiful warm Saturday, so the pumpkin patch and Remlinger's Farm was busy with families. We came home with pumpkins and some corn too. The kids rolled corn in paint and made some texture paintings.

The boys got to ride it the wheelbarrow. It was hard to decide on which pumpkin to pick. The kids wore rain boots, I didn't know if it would be muddy or not.

Cute picture of Rhett being a great older brother. Rhett does like to be a helper. We went to the theater at Remlinger's farm and watched Eric Ode's show. We have seen him a few times. (Recently at a family night at Rhett's preschool.) His Barnyard Cat is a favorite one of mine that he does at the farm.

Myles rode on this metal horse for quite a long time while Caramel and Rhett rode on the real horses and ponies. In this picture you can see Myles' curly hair. I tried to gel it, but didn't really work, he got a hair cut shortly after.

Ghost brothers.

Kids loved jumping in the loose hay and climbing through the hay maze.

Here is Rhett afterwards with some hay sprinkled on him.

 

Caramel enjoyed the farm animals and big bouncy slide.

Rhett enjoyed the hay and train ride.

Myles loved sitting on the tractors and the bouncy housee.

Camellia enjoyed when it was all over and she finally got to sleep.

Seahurst Beach Brand New

No school, so we visited the new Seahurst Beach. The playground is closer, beach more open, and a fun stick tepee to play in are some of the changes. We met up with some friends which is always more fun. The Hanes, Epperson, and Ellis are families we have organized home preschool with when Caramel and Rhett were younger. 

Myles enjoyed throwing rocks with a little buddy, Jase.

Rhett found a crab leg.

Speech Therapy for Myles

Myles lawn mowing with daddy. I love when the kids decide to help lawn mow with daddy. Myles doesn't like the noise of the lawn mower and needs another adult who is not lawn mowing to feel safe.

Myles loves making a little bed in the toy box. He is the hardest to get a picture of with a smile. He will not smile when asked. I am asking him to smile here and he closes his eyes, little stinker. 

Myles loves Rhett's motorcycle. It is in the garage where the van is parked, so he lays on it whenever he gets a chance.

Myles has started speech therapy at home. He loves when Erin, his therapist comes over and gives him all the attention, (Rhett isn't so thrilled about it and works for the attention too.) He has his times when he really wants to talk, saying all kinds of sounds together. Words he loves to say are motorcycle, scarecrow, want some, no mine, and horse. When we wait in the car to pick up Caramel from school, Rhett practices his letters and sounds and Myles practices sounds too which is fun.

Preschool Farm Field Trip

On Fridays, we occasionally go on field trips with a church preschool group. We went to the Carpinito Brothers Farm in Kent. They had an informative beginning about growing pumpkins and corn. Myles couldn't stop jumping off the hay bench, such a good listener. Then a tractor hayride, boys loved. We visited with the farm animals, super cute goats with funky hair. 

There was a hay jumping area with a fun tunnel and tower. Also a huge box of corn for playing in, after the boys were all white from the corn dust.

Fake cows for roping and sitting on.

Cute picture attempt with brothers.

Yes, Camellia and I were there too, Caramel at school.

2 Teeth, Clapping, and Almost Crawling Camellia

Camellia is fair skinned with reddish blond looking hair and blue eyes. Nothing like the 3 other kids. She also at 7 months has 2 bottom teeth. The 3 older kids didn't get teeth until 12 months. She is also a thumb sucker. After you lay her down to sleep swaddled, she pulls out her thumb and is content.

Camellia is trying to crawling. I love the planking stage. She loves to rock back and forth and reverse slide across the floor. She is pretty good at sitting, still falls at times.

Camellia doesn't enjoy baby food that much especially oatmeal cereal. She is getting use to sweet potato puffs. She does love having a big slice of apple to bite on.

Camellia is very good at clapping and saying, "mama mama."
