What have we been doing?

After completing the biggest event of the year for work last month, my crazy schedule has started to slow down which means MORE time with the family, less working for me and I've been able to take some days off here and there. It's been great. BUT...Elliott's work has been crazy recently so he's been working more. The past two weeks he's worked two doubles each week. We're SOO looking forward to our surprise trip in a few weeks!!


So what have we been up to? Eli has been doing a little karaoke:
 We went to Eli's friend, Laya's first birthday party. Eli and Annie:


 Eli, Lyla and Annie (all a few months apart):
 They had a face painter and Soph wanted the dog:
 Eli LOVED their new swing set:

 We love our new bike trailer and have taken many bike rides:
 Eli loving the apple pie that Soph and I made:
 Eli still loves cookies:



 Soph was in time out but Eli couldn't handle it...he wanted to play with his sissy and went over and hugged her:
 We literally can't keep up with this kid. Now he's going under the gates:
 Soph made a huge fort one Sunday afternoon:
 Eli LOVES apples:
 He also loves putting everything in his hair and laughs about it:
 Soph has been in swim lessons for months and has really improved. Look at her now:


 She used to be afraid of the water and now she's swimming. I love it!


Can we talk about how old she looks in her kindergarten picture? OMG!!
 El took the kids to the park and the damn on his day off this week:






Soph's friend came over on Friday before school for a play date. I don't know who had more fun - Soph or Eli?


Cosi

Cosi has been closed for a few weeks for their annual cleaning and is no longer open on Tuesday's (Elliott's day off) so it's been awhile since the kids have been to Cosi. They were SOO excited when I took them both last Friday.

Eli loves Cosi just as much as Soph, especially now that he's walking everywhere:


 The look on his face when he's driving around a big girl lol:
 Loves the water table:





 Soph LOVES carrying Eli everywhere:

 Future newscaster?


Lynd Fruit Farm - Apple Picking

We took the kiddos to Lynd Fruit Farm a few weeks ago to pick apples. Eli LOVED eating the apples and Soph loved picking them!

Eli picking his FIRST apples:



 Soph's perfect apple:
 Eli didn't care if the apples were on the ground - he wanted to try ALL of them.


 Soph picking the perfect apples:









Apple picking is ONE of my favorite things to do in the Fall. I'm so glad the kids love it as much as I do. Since we had soo many apples, Soph and I made homemade apple pies. And, we've been eating apples since.

Zoo

Two Friday's ago I took off and took the kiddos to the zoo.

 Soph helping Eli go down the slide:








These kiddos LOVE the zoo!
