Just a couple of pictures...

Just a little update of what's been going on - via pictures...

 

Another fun use for our train table - great spot to make puzzles!!!  Love Jim's chair - it's his ride-on firetruck!!!

 The boys enjoy watching each other play their computer!

 Mark made a fort for the boys one night (Syracuse was playing basketball, so we hoped it would keep them busy during the week while the game was on!)

 Ben having fun on his side of the fort!

 Making some Indian Corn!

 Hard at work!!!

 My two little pilgrims!!

 We put up our tree this weekend.  I know it was a little early, we usually wait until after Thanksgiving...but we only have 2 weekends at home between our trips - so we figured we'd put it up so we could enjoy it that much longer!

 Both boys helping!

 Getting out the Christmas decorations means getting out their train!  They were having fun being 'tunnels'!

 Jim was hard at work!

October in review

I guess I didn't do a single post in October.  I have no excuse, just busy living and enjoying life!!!  Looking back on the last post (Ben's 18 month update) I never did do a 3.5 year post for Jim...and it's also hard to believe Ben was in shorts & a tank top - now we're all bundled up.  It's definitely starting to feel more and more like fall here! 

Since I didn't post at all in October, how about a little month in review through pictures -

We enjoyed a great visit with Grandma & Papa!!!  Jim had lots of fun decorating Grandma's Happy Birthday cake, and celebrating her special day with her!!!

A picture of me & my 2 boys -

Jim showing off his magic skills, magic cape & all!

Like how both boys are doing the same thing; blowing on their waffles -

We had fun at a pumpkin patch with our friends!!!

We shared stories together -

We carved pumpkins (Ben lost interest and played trucks) -

We were construction workers during the day for Halloween - having friends over for a Halloween party!

And then we went Trick or Treating with our neighbors!!!  Ben started off as a monkey, but he wasn't much of a fan, so I took that off.  Both boys had lots of fun!!!

I like Jim's tools in his pocket -

As you can tell we had a great month of October!!!!  Hopefully I'll be better updating in November - no promises though.
