caramel apples

I love the frusterated look on her face when the apple

would not come off the plate :)

now that tastes good :)

I think Zach is enjoying his too :)

Andrew is enjoying eating the candy off the apple

more than the apple itself :)

First of the month we went over to the Moyes to make caramel apples.

this was actually the first time my kids had made it themselves...usually

I just drizzle caramel over the apple slices so its not so messy :)...but the kids

had so much fun dipping their apples into the caramel that I'm sure mommy

won't be drizzling caramel over apple slices anymore :)

homeschool with the moyes

Since our friends, the Moyes, are doing the A beka DVD program and have 2 children the same grades as us, :) the kids have enjoyed getting together at least twice a month to do school together. And of course the mommies enjoy the fellowship too :)

and then after "school" the kids look forward to recess :) I took pictures of the kids the last time i was over there. but I am missing a picture of Zach due to a blurry picture I took so next time Zach I need to take a picture of you :)

Cailyn not really wanting to pose...that finter

would not come out of the mouth...

we went driving the other day and we came across

this old barn so we stopped and got pictures. andrew

actually wanted to pose that day so I was excited :)

we drove some more and I found another building so

Nathanael had some pictures taken there. Then came home

and Madison and Cailyn had their's taken around our yard.

Cailyn dumped my purse and the diapers went flying :)

our park to have a picnic and to enjoy the

fall weather....the kids enjoyed it tho

that day it was so windy!

baking

baking with the kid's help :)

school

homeschooling is going good but as much as

I would love to keep on a schedule, having

2 little ones can be challenging so each day

is different...some better then others:) Cailyn

loves to steal chairs from the kids when they

are standing or she is on the table messing up

their schoolwork....so until 10:30 every morning

it can be stressful....but by 10:30 cailyn is in her

bed and we are all happy...pretty bad when the

kids even ask " is it time for her nap yet?"

cailyn is trying to get in andrew's chair....
she is trying to tell him to get out.....

and you can tell who won..... :)
she is so rotten!

the kids singing with their class...cailyn loves

singing with them and doing hand motions

dress up

the girls were playing dress up this morning. Cailyn is so cute. she copies what Madison does and she loves carrying around a baby and the baby HAS to be wrapped in a blanket at all times! I know mom would have really enjoyed playing with the girls and their babies. She didn't have girls who played much with dolls so when her granddaughters came along she bought them dolls :) and now they love playing dress up and house....and i am learning to play with them tho I would rather be playing with the boys :) Mom you would be happy that I am playing dolls with my girls :)
this was so cute...madison has dress up shoes but Cailyn has tennis shoes :)

yesterday after homeschool we spent sometime outdoors

peek a boo! she was a mess!

little dirty hands :)

I found her eating cookies on my couch last night

yea, they were everywhere...
little stinker
