Catch up time!

Just this past week, we've been really busy! It seems the closer it gets to Christmas we just get busier and busier. We are pretty much done with unpacking the house besides a whole lotta stuff that's in the garage, still in boxes. Who needs it anyway?

Ok so last week, Pops & Nan came up for the day to play with us. The boys were so happy to see them since it had been about 2 weeks, and that's a long time apart after they got to see them every day for 6 months! Anyway, we all had a great time. We hung out at the house, bbq-ed some chicken with 2x baked potatoes, went to the reservoir..

and farmers market..

and even got a little baking time in before they had to leave! It was really nice to spend that time with them, and the boys loved it!

Saturday morning we went to the pumpkin patch about 20 minutes from here. It was so fun!! We went on a hayride and saw some cows, goats, and lots of beautiful scenery..

And lots and lots of pumpkins!!

Ayden LOVED it, but this shot was too funny not to share! It's so him.

The boys, and Daddy!

If only they would look at me when taking their picture..they are so tired of it. LOL

Sunday came, and after church Pa J & Mimi came down for a visit! We had alot of fun just hanging out and eating burgers. During halftime of the Saints game, we went to the reservoir to show them the beauty that we have just 5 minutes from us! :) It was such a nice night, and not cold at all!!

We headed home to catch the rest of the Saints game and the boys and Mimi and Juji baked an apple pie! Caleb really enjoys using the apple slicer, and they had alot of fun doing it. We are glad they came to spend some time with us. :)

Monday was the first day of Abeka K4 for Caleb. He really enjoyed it, and did so well with it. Here's his first art project he did on Tuesday!

Someone else has caught on to our hot cuckoo coffee, and that would be Ayden! I now have to split Caleb's cup in half so they can both have some. And yes all 3 of us have to sit on the bench! It's kind of funny..

Another event going on in the Phillips household, potty training! Ayden does SO well with it, I'm really proud of him. He gets kind of embarrassed about things, but he's so cute.

Tonight we made caramel apples!! It was alot of fun, and the boys really liked seeing it and sort of helping. They were both worried about how hot the caramel was.

our week was pretty busy, but very fun! And it's not even over yet. :) Tomorrow we are carving pumpkins, and late Friday night we are heading to Slidell to spend Halloween with the grandparents! We are going to the fall festival at church, and Mickey Mouse and Thomas are very excited! Haha.
