Requested Update

It has been a rather long time since I have updated my blog. I would love to have a great excuse, but the only real excuse is that I did not feel like it was appreciated. I very rarely get comments and it is usually the same few people anyway. Blogs are hard work! I will admit, I need to be validated. Please comment, if you do not know how, learn how to (please). So here is what has been happening.....

When the air is really dry, Sam gets bloody noses in his sleep. So sometimes he wakes up looking like he was in a fight.
Zoe made Sam a foam sticker picture. Sam loves foam stickers, but he loves them even more when they are on his head. He put them on the back of his head......
and then moved to his face. Zoe was upset at first, but got over it.
This is how the girls rake the leaves.
Carson and Parker have decided that they will no longer sit next to Sam at the counter. Sam wants to hug them the entire time.
When you are one, it is fun to eat dinner with a measuring spoon (not easy, just fun).
We had a lot of fun this Halloween. Zoe was Tinkerbell, Carson was the black Spiderman, Parker was Superman, and Sam was Batman. Sam was not wearing his mask, and the kids smeared their face paintings very early on, but they still all looked cute.
We went to Grandpa Kim and Nana Carol's to paint some pumpkins a few days before Halloween.
Sam kept making the funniest "mad" face.
Zoe put a lot of work into her white pumpkin.
Zoe was so scared of their decorations.
The big kids conquered the corn maze all on their own.
Sam loved sitting on this merry-go-round...... that is until it started to move. Then he freaked out and refused to get back on.
We celebrated Dave's birthday at a pirate pizza place. Mike and G had a coupon for half off their biggest pizza, so we decided to split it. This pizza was HUGE! It fed so many people.
I love dressing Zoe like this. I think she looks like Madeline.
The kids love to do the play food in the little kitchen. Sam has recently started getting way into it.
He has such a fun personality!

The nosebleed stuff could go back to Anthony's mother's parents ... Anthony's mother has a brother who had a similar nosebleed problem ... particularly in dry weather. He went to a park one day with his girlfriend ... and his nose just started bleeding all over the place ... the girlfriend held his t-shirt over his nose while he drove them home on his motorcycle.

Hey Missy! i love your blog!! It's a big help for us cousins located across the country to get to know you guys even better. I know what you mean about validation, Abigail said the same thing.

My kids always freak once the merry go round actually starts and practically bolt once it's done. Sam is such a cute little punk! love seeing the pictures. =]

I so am with you on the needing validation. I straight up ask for it sometimes. I love the "madeline" look in the picture of Zoey! Too cute! Nice to know you like classic looks. That pizza is massive and looks so yummy!
Poor Sam and his bloody noses. Ava just gets bloody nostrils, but it's still not fun!
Glad you updated! I love reading your fun shopping/free things you post on facebook. Maybe someday I'll have money for shipping and will get to take advantage of some of them too!

I read!! Keep posting!! I've been really bad the last couple of weeks because school has been so busy, but keep posting! I totally know how you feel about the comment thing. I only have like 2 or 3 people who consistently leave me comments. It is nice to be validated, isn't it?
