November 12, 2012: Hello and Happy Fall! At the urging or shall we say nagging husband, I have decided to re-open this cobb webbed blog of mine! Okay, I did miss it too! I will be real honest here... I'm not going to fill in the blanks of all of the months I've missed. Let's start with now! Fall has been so good to us. We didn't make it to a pumpkin patch, but we did enjoy the loads of leaves in our backyard and parks near our home.

The boys helped dad rake and bag up the numerous bags of leaves. They also enjoyed following along him with their toy lawnmowers while he mowed the lawn. Quite a sight to see :)

My mom has been recovering in a nursing home for several months now due to a recurrent brain abscess; we took a Saturday to pick her up and go and visit with the boy's Great Grandpa in Waupun. A day on the farm was great exploring as the boys helped to gather pumpkins and were able to check out the John Deere tractors asnd other miscellaneous farm equipment!

As we were running out of "toys" that interested the boys...we decided on a train set. It worked well the first couple of days occupying the boys. We are currently in a train freeze right now as Ryan and Nathan decided to become destructive one afternoon and pull it all apart. Needless to say, they can take some time off from getting to play with it again. Sorry! Other common happenings around here are books and more books from the iron fist--Mom! Crafts or coloring are always a part of our weekend routine as well. We have TONS of artwork if anyone would like some samples??!!!

Ah... Mr Ryan. He is our little perfectionist. Cars (are always in a straight line), cookies (always lined up). Don't mess with his choice of shirt or pants for the day either. He is quite the determined one with what he like and doesn't. I wonder where he gets that from?

Our little garden gnomes! What a fun Halloween this year. Our wonderful neighbor, Trish helped me with the boys around the neighborhood. The boys loved running house to house and actually consumed their first...yes lollipop and other assorted candy! (Okay, so I'm not big on kids and candy). Ryan enjoyed helping me give out candy. He would grab a piece to give to the trick or treater and grab oh... two to three pieces to add back to his container. Kind of funny to watch. Nathan was busy hiding under the cabinets in the kitchen hiding with his candy.... Hope you and yours had an excellent Halloween as well!! Please leave a comment or two so I know people are reading this!!
