Another month is flying by! In the past couple weeks we've been busy - took a quick trip to Manitowoc to see our new nephew, carved pumpkins, and went to Ellison's first zoo class (horses - she loved it). Plus we've been chasing two extremely busy kids around! Kellen is a little daredevil already and has been climbing, pulling up and standing, and falling all over the place. He's very quiet and stealthy about it so if we aren't watching like a hawk, he gets into all kinds of things. I think we're in big trouble with him! Now I start a stretch of working 6 out of 7 nights (yikes) before Jay and I head up to Door County for our 5th anniversary trip!
We've been doing lots of "fall" things. Just finished up the last of our apples from apple picking - we had 2 batches of crock pot applesauce, 3 apple pies, and lots of apples with meals! The last pie was definitely the best. Yum!!! We still have plans to make a pumpkin pie from scratch - the pie pumpkins have been baked and scraped out, but now we are stuck because our blender and food processor can't handle pureeing them. Definitely time for some new kitchen appliances...
3rd (and best!) apple pie
There's been some Halloween/fall crafting, too. Ellison absolutely loves "projects" so I'm trying to use them to keep her busy and out of trouble! I swear she gets sassier by the day. I hate hearing/reading about how having a 3 year old is so much worse than the "terrible 2s", because I can't imagine her being much naughtier than she is now! Luckily she has more good moments than bad. Most days...
Not much else going on - starting to get excited for the holidays! And of course, stressed out because they are insanely busy!!!
Giving her buddies baths in the sink :)
One of his last whale tub baths - he moved into the real tub this week!
