Wagon Rides Are Hard Work!

Yesterday, both kids fell asleep during our wagon ride. : )

Using A Spoon

Chase started learning how to use a spoon this week. I really feel bad because when Eli was Chase's age, he already knew how to use a spoon. I feel like I haven't given Chase as many opportunities to learn things. When you just have one child, messes from learning experiences are no problem. But two kids complicates the clean-up process a bit. Anyway, I'm trying to be better and let Chase learn and make messes.

Chase thought having food all over the place was really funny.

So did Eli : )

Pumpkin Carving

We were a little busy before Halloween and never took the time to carve a pumpkin. So, Eli and I carved a pumpkin earlier this week. It was still tons of fun!

Peace

I usually blog about our family, but today I want to share something a little different. Today at Mom2Mom, we discussed God's peace. At the beginning of the lesson, our speaker spoke of the world's definition of peace and the "universal" symbol used for peace:

Then, she shared the origin of this symbol. Click here if you would like to read about it. I was very surprised and thought I'd share.

Fall Festival

The weekend before Halloween, we went to the Fall Festival at Stonebriar Community Church. They wore their costumes....Chase was a bear and Eli was Spiderman. It was a great time for all!

Throwing bean bags....for candy

Chase's first experience in a bounce house. He seemed to like it.

Eli & Ryan

It's obvious why these two get along so well!! : )

Big Orange Pumpkin Farm

A couple of weeks ago, we visited the Big Orange Pumpkin Farm in Celina. Eli and Chase had tons of fun. I really wanted to get a picture of them in the pumpkins, but it was impossible to get them both to sit still and smile long enough to take a picture. But, we had fun anyway.

Eli's new favorite pose when having his picture taken

Eli loved feeding the goats.

One attempt to get a picture

This one was a little too heavy!

Whatever Eli does, Chase has to try!
