Date Night...for the kiddos.

Tonight Stephen took Maycee on a date.  We've decided that kiddo date nights start when they turn three.  Not yet three-year-old Cooper is pitching a fit.  We had to improvise.

Cooper had a date with Mommy tonight!  We played blocks.  With Ollie.  Cooper loves blocks.  He's building very well with the Legos.

Don't worry.  I ate his cornbread.

Aaaaaaand DONE!

Ollie can climb up the stairs.

Long Long Hay Ride

Yesterday, Stephen got off work early so we could go to a local pumpkin patch to do hay rides and pick pumpkins.  I looked all over their website for prices and couldn't find any.  We got to the farm and found that it would cost our family of 5 over $30 to just do the hayride.

We decided that hayrides were overrated.  We just took pictures around the place and called it good.

Now I still need to go get pumpkins.

It is rough trying to get two kids to look and smile.

It is impossible with three.

Oliver's FIRST oreo.

I think he liked it.

What does Mom do?

Yesterday we went to meet Stephen for lunch at his work.

Stephen was a little pressed for time, but we still got to see him!

While we were together, Stephen asked Maycee a very important question, "What does Mommy do while I am at work?"

Maycee replied, "She does the dishes and she climbs trees."

I have no idea where the tree thing came from.

Last night Maycee ended up on our floor at 2 am.  Stephen carried her back to her bedroom.  She said, "Daddy, why did we park here?"

Apparently she sleep talks.

Articulate

Tonight Cooper and I had a very well versed conversation.  He is still 2, but he speaks so well!  After our 'conversation' I said, "Cooper, you are getting so articulate!"

Cooper replied, "NO, I not tic-u-what!  You tic-u-what."

Well.

There you have it.

Play Date at the Mall

We met Krystal and Lexi in Boise yesterday to hang out and shop.  Because shopping is ridiculous with small children we ended up at the mall playground.

Kiddo pictures.

These were DIFFICULT to take.

Only semi got three.

Kinda.
