Leaves are falling!

 Most of our leaves are down, which means the rakes are out in full force!  We need to invest in a few more....only two rakes means 1-2 whining boys:-)  By next year, maybe Darin and I can sit back and relax while the boys do all the labor!?

Pumpkin Carving

 We had a fun time carving our pumpkins!  Kenny stuck with cleaning out his pumpkin like a champ.  John was the most unproductive....he was either trying to eat the insides or was scooping the goop in with the separated seeds.  Jacob seemed to grasp the process, but his motor skills couldn't quite keep up!

 After carving was complete in the backyard, we had a pumpkin moving ceremony with the wagon.  Too funny!

The finished product....3 jack-o-lanterns and 3 happy boys.  Bring on Halloween:-)

Kenny's Candyland Cake

Kenny is obsessed with a kids' food magazine my Mom gave him this spring.  On their last visit they made the swimming pool cake together (think blue jello in a dug-out cake).  This time they made the Candyland Cake.  Probably not Grandma's pick for a birthday cake, but very memorable nonetheless:-)

Catching Up....St. Mary's Glacier with G & G Erb!

 It's been a busy week, and I'm just now getting around to posting these pics from hiking to St. Mary's Glacier with my parents.  Not sure what we were thinking....see all the snow!  We bundled up and the sun and hiking warmed us up.  We didn't venture all the way to the glacier this time around.  The winds were gusting and the lake seemed a perfect destination.  Everyone enjoyed the morning....and the Beau Jo's pizza afterwards:-)

Fall Festival

 We had a fun morning at the Mothers Of Multiples Fall Festival.  The J's dressed as lions and Kenny as a firefighter.  The highlight of the day was the bouncing blob--all 5 of us were on it at one point:-)  Kenny loved the spider man balloon sculpture from the balloon man.  And Jacob, Kenny and I enjoyed a little ride in the barrel train (Darin's long legs prevented he and John from riding:-(  It's put us all into the Halloween spirit.  Can't wait to carve pumpkins tomorrow!

Pumpkins & Cars

Denver Zoo

 We made our first trip to the Denver Zoo with Grandma Erb.  It was a perfect day.  The weather was mild, animals active, and our 3 little monkeys seemed to especially into the actual monkeys:-)  Can't wait to go back!
