6 days without Dad

I'm finally getting this on my blog but as you may know, taking care of 2 little boys 24-6 is busy! However, we had a great time together and of course missing Dad everyday. Matt left for elk hunting with friends for 6 days. And here is what we did with the 3 of us.
Driving cars in paint. Jonas loved squirting the paint in the box and trying his hardest to not get his fingers messy but he had a cloth nearby to wipe:)

Playing tennis at our nearby tennis courts. Jonas really loves the sport and good at it. Non-contact sport is his preference.

Off to the zoo on a free day! It was a warm day so very crowded. Stayed long enough to see the animals they wanted to see.

Off to the fire station with Jonas' preschool. It was a short tour since the firefighters had a call.
Silas was with a friend of mine for a few hours, so Jonas and I had some time to enjoy each other. I took him to Starbucks for scones and drinks. Jonas says, "This is super fun, let's sit and talk." I reminded Jonas that we use to have coffee/water dates at Starbucks at least once a week before Silas was born. Special times!

Picked up Silas and off to a local pumpkin patch to pick out a big pumpkin to carve for a party the next day.

Making carmel apples for friends and to eat for our movie night.
Movie night, watched 'Peter Pan' and ate carmel apples. Jonas was so attentive the whole movie and didn't understand why Captain Hook was mean. Silas was running around the room chasing George, the cat.

Lowe's Build and Grow clinic...Halloween Monster Truck. We ran into some friends and built together. Jonas is getting so good at following the instructions and putting the projects together by himself.

Pumpkin Carving party at the LeCounts. We brought George up to meet his brother again. Jamie and Tim took a kitten from the same litter and looked exactly alike.
We carved Cookie Monster in our pumpkin. It was quite messy!
Jonas adventured inside and found Tim's new drum set. He loved it! Tim always says he is a natural at playing. Tim will be his teacher, I'm sure.

These last few days of October were balmy! We had to enjoy outside as much as possible. Headed to Addenbrooke Park one afternoon.

Played in the creek and throwing leaves in the water. We learned about what floats and what doesn't.

Tuesday, the day before the snow came, we had to rake. The boys loved helping and of course jumping in the piles.

Jonas can jump from a stand still and get some height.

Silas working on a ABC puzzle. He is getting so good at fine motor skills and learning his alphabet.

One more day until Matt arrived. Big storm came! Next posting soon....
