milestones

this has been a busy month,
both kids are growing by leaps and bounds and here is proof

Homestead Farms with best friends

We loved spending time with our best friends who came out 2 weekends ago to welcome autumn with us and the kids.
Here are some shots from our day out!

Big Kids

This is how i keep Bennett's pants up these days.
he looks a little Amish but whatever... at least you cant see his bum!


Went out for breakfast with the kids the other day and there was a fire drill. really had to leave our food and go outside. But the kids loved it! The firefighter asked if M wanted to climb up.
uh... yeah!


playing at the park


ok. Madeline is 4 now. and she has a big girl bed. Here she is getting used to her new digs. Hey Thanks NANA and PAPA for the great birthday gift (you bought her the comforter set in her favorite color in case you didnt know ;)



singing in the rain.

liquid nitrogen birthday!

Madeline's classmate, Zachary's dad is a scientist at NIH. He comes in once a month (and this time came on Madeline's birthday) and does hands-on science with the kids (Mr Dan the science man) and this week it was well... you'll see...

The kids got to touch the bubbles created from submerging dry ice into warm water.


They got to dance in the evaporate created when spilling liquid nitrogen on the floor and it instantly turns to gas.


Then he took a rubber tubing piece and placed it in liquid nitrogen for 2 minutes then smashed it on the table and it broke into pieces. Then after a few minutes, the kids were able to touch the tube and it was soft again!


this is the 3 year old program. what will he do next year?!!


Then she got to do her presentation of her "all about me" box in her class.


what a day to be 4.

CRUNCH

crunch, squish, wipe, spray, wipe, flush.
'Bye bye cricket' i say, in my mind...

but Bennett was with me, watching.

And he says, out loud 'Bye bye cricket'
bends down, looks at the spot on the floor where cricket once was
and gives it a little kiss.
'bye bye cricket'
he says again.
