Fall Fun

Still trying to get all caught up, so here are some more recent pictures!

When we got home from Bermuda, the kids were so excited to see us, and hopped right on daddy for some daddy horsey rides :)

Image 163

Happy kiddies!

Image 186

Modeling her new sweater and skirt (and as you will see in the upcoming pictures, she hasn't taken them off since then, haha)

Image 192

Hard at work

Image 164

Image 167

Henry was exhausted and cranky, so Charlotte was singing to him and comforting him…too sweet

Image 168

Image 165

Love <3

Image 171

Playing "evil woman", a game that Charlotte made up where I am the title character, and I have to put her in jail (i.e., the soccer goal)...

Image 170

…hiding from the evil woman haha

Image 174

Image 169

Sweetness…love them

Image 173

She is so shy :)

Image 172

Henry's stroller is hitching a ride...

Image 175

Image 176

Playing chicken on the bikes :)

Image 178

Image 179

My goose

Image 180

Now that we got her a tiara and wand, she is all ready for Halloween!

Image 183

And this is what happens when you have an older sister, haha.  He just walked into the kitchen like this as I was making them dinner :)

Image 181

Image 182

Mamie and Poppy came up with the genius idea of using a bungee cord to tie up all of the cars/trucks/strollers/etc to the back of Henry's bike, which = a very happy Henry! :)

Image 184

Charlotte wanted to give it a shot too!

Image 185

Then she realized that she could ride the scooter while holding onto the back to the contraption, and Henry could pull her along.  Good times!

Image 187

But Henry wanted a ride too, and couldn't quite balance on the scooter and hold on to the back at the same time…so he tried this method (not very successfully)

Image 188

After a long time out of school (coxsackie, Bermuda, packing, etc), Charlotte was so excited to get back and see her BFF Hari!  She walked right up to him, grabbed his hand, and wouldn't let him go.  Later on that morning, he asked her if she would marry him, and she asked if me and Mamie would be her bridesmaids.  She wants us to wear navy dresses and lilac shoes.  Girl knows what she wants :)

Image 196

Apparently a regular scooter ride is too boring…Charlotte decided to do some tricks, including a one-legged ride!

Image 197

Lunch date at Friendly's  :)

Image 199

I wore a braid in my hair for the wedding I went to on Saturday night, and Charlotte asked me to give her a "side braid" too :)

Image 198

Some of my oldest friends in the world! Love them :)

Image 213

Walking into Hank's

Image 218

Such a happy girl!

Image 262

She was grabbing 6000 things and telling me how great they would all look at our "new house" (apparently, after a renovation, it becomes new again!)

Image 219

Such a love

Image 263

Image 220

Henry refused to pose for a picture, or stay still for a minute, so all of the pics of Henry are motion shots :)

Image 221

Doing some heavy lifting!

Image 267

Image 222

Riding the pumpkins, haha

Image 223

So civilized, unlike her younger brother, haha

Image 224

Silly

Image 225

Image 226

Running across the field like a kid in a candy shop after he saw that they had a train he could climb on!

Image 228

I take it back--he did sit still for a bit when he saw a real tractor going across the farm.  He knows that mommy lets him watch tractors/trucks/mow mow trucks/etc, but he has to sit down and stay still, so he was more than willing to pop a squat!

Image 229

"Traca!! Traca!!"

Image 227

With my love

Image 265

Image 232

Still watching, haha.  Mesmerized.

Image 233

Yup, that there is for riding! :)

Image 234

Image 236

Henry picked his pumpkin!  At least this is the one he could carry ;)

Image 235

And Charlotte found one too!

Image 238

Driving the train

Image 239

So serious!

Image 240

Maneuvering through the hay maze

Image 242

What to do next?!

Image 243

Walking the plank :)

Image 244

Image 245

At the top of the princess castle :)

Image 246

Cutie pie

Image 248

Quite the equestrian! :)

Image 250

Doesn't get much cuter, haha.  I think she looks like my mom here.

Image 264

And Henry had his turn on Stormy!  Despite the look on his face, I promise that he DID have a good time haha.

Image 252

Hugging and kissing Mr. Potato Head!

Image 253

Just resting :)

Image 254

Image 255

Getting ready to go on the train ride!

Image 257

Henry didn't know what to make of it, but they were so excited!

Image 256

Good times!

Image 259

Milking the cow, haha

Image 260

Such a fun morning!

Image 261

Charlotte & Henry's new favorite thing to do is to go "tree climbing" in Mamie & Poppy's yard

Image 266

And they had hours of fun playing with the plastic bin I was using to pack…who needs toys?!

Image 268

Playing hide and seek with mommy

Image 270

He has to take his baby "Annie" (he named her, and he pronounces it in a way that rhymes with "Yanni", haha) with him when he runs away…too cute.

Image 271

I found you, Henry! :)

Image 272

Silly honey badger :)

Image 276

Playing "evil woman" again…once again, I had to put them in jail.  I think Charlotte has been watching/reading too much Tangled :)

Image 275

Love this kid

Image 273

Image 281

She looks so old in this picture :(

Image 282

Giving me directions as to how to play my role, no doubt! :)

Image 274

Sweetness

Image 277

Image 278

He always goes back to the same two hiding spots, haha…behind the tree or into the berm :)
