Park

I am back from my little blogging break!
We have been busy visiting with family and enjoying the fall!
There are many more blogs to come.
Here are some pics from our visit to the park a couple weeks ago....




















Sorry for the lack of updates...

Cookies and Rivalry.

Saturday night we marked off another one of my 
Fall To Do's:
Make something with pumpkin!
I decided on these Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies.
Baking treats with two very ambitious helpers can be a bit challenging.
I started out a bit tense, then took a step back and remembered that 
this was supposed to be fun!
They (reluctantly) took turns adding ingredients 
and cracking eggs and turning on the mixer....
Andy and I are amazed at the amount of sibling rivalry 
that is already happening at our house.
You would think that Lainey is still to little for that, but she is NOT!
They fight each other for space on my lap,
for who gets to stand on the stool,
who gets to brush teeth first.
It is really amazing.
I don't think we have provided an competitive environment, necessarily.
Does this just happen naturally?
It is really curious to me. 
If one has something, the other wants it. 
It is challenging, but for the most part, they are very sweet to each other.
I just keep repeating "you are best friends" and hoping it will stick!
The cookies turned out good,
then Andy put some whip cream on them and they
were amazing!
Yum Yum Yum!

Zoo.

It is my favorite time of year!
I love fall so much!
I have a whole list of things I want to do to celebrate the season.
One of the things on my list was the zoo!
So, on Saturday afternoon we headed there.
I have been wanting to go for awhile now.
I love our zoo and the new sea lion sound was open
and we had not seen it yet....

It is a really cool tunnel that you walk through 
and the sea lions swim over you.
It was really cool!
The girls loved it!
It was really fun to see them outside though.
They were playing on the rocks and pushing each other in the water.
I love sea lions.
I promise that is not Molly's coffee :)
This poor monkey looked so grumpy!
He eventually went and hid from us.
Lainey was so funny.
Every time I told her that morning that we were going to see the animals,
she would run to the door and try and open it.
She was excited! 
Lainey loved running around.
I don't know why we even brought the stroller.
She cried everytime we made her get in it.
It is really hard to keep track of her!
My cute little fall model.
Can you believe she has on jeans????
Not even a fight!
Us.
:)
More climbing.
Silly girl.
So cool to see all these lions just hanging out!
They looked like they wanted to eat us though....
