October Randomness

Yes, it is almost the end of October and yes, we still go to the splash pad. It was like 90 something degrees today. Not fun. I am ready for some cool weather. Who knows when that will happen. It was so cool in Mobile last week...I LOVED it.

I gave up on putting the girls in bathing suits a while back. It's just way to complicated to go through that additional step. I got some cute pics of them in their suits this summer. Now the swim diaper is their suit :)

Bringing lots of buckets and cups to the splash pad is KEY. Without them, the girls last maybe 10 minutes. I learned that the hard way :)

Fill the bucket with lots of highly chlorinated water.....then down it....Nice. Maybe it's not too terrible for them?!?

They dug down in the diaper bag and found these random paci's. They haven't used paci's since they were like 3 months old or something. They think they are really cool toys.

At their art class at the YMCA they decorated Halloween cookies. This was fun to watch. Jocelyn was all into decorating her cookie and cupcake with the icing. Gabbie did not touch the icing for the first 15 minutes. She did think the little sprinkles were way cool.

I threw some icing on Gabbie's cookie and cupcake since she refused to touch it...

But then she finally tasted it and just started eating the icing by the spoonfuls...but she never touched her cookie or cupcake...

Jocelyn, however, had 3 cookies of her own, and her cupcake, and then tried to steal Gabbie's. I had to put my foot down at that point :)

Mamie being "loved" by 3 of the kiddos all at one time :)

The girls are obsessed with sitting in their booster seats on the floor. They have learned how to snap the tray on themselves, but then they scream when they want it off (haven't quite learned how to take it off yet). Lately they like to read out loud to each other while they are in their chairs. Too cute!

Over the past few months we have found several fun play items for the kiddos on craigslist, consignment sales, etc. I got this really cool sandbox/table thingy at the GOMOTT sale a few weeks ago. They love it. Amy said today that we totally have all the equipment we need to start a daycare....oh wait, we already run a daycare :)
