OcTobler Phone Favorites

 Okay OcTobler, you went by much too fast but you were jam packed with big and small events. Here's a round up of this month Phone favorites. Conference!!! Full of snacks and treats and spiritual messages!

Some were better at listening than others.

 Papa was an expert snuggler!

 

E had an assignment at school to make a custume out of things you had around the house. E made a fairy dress for her Barbies out of leaves and gosh darn it this girl never ceases to amaze me!

One afternoon the kids had the wiggles something offal. SO I loaded them up and we went for a walk to the grocery store. This is the first time they had been to a grocery store since the pandemic and they were actually pretty excited to go and pick out a few extra goodies. 

They had to work pretty hard to push the wagon home.

I was supposed to be cleaning but Teething baby, Duke needed help distance learning, Dory was on repeat and I just sat and snuggled my babes. 

I made a flying key mobile for E's room. It came out se dang cute!

CArmale apples from Gram!! SO delicious!

More E leaf art.

During nap time I had climbed outside to snuggle in the hammock and read. a little girl found me and brought her book and climbed in next to me. This is a view I don't think I'll ever get tired of. This si E's first big book that has bore than 25 pages. It's an abridged version of the Wizard of Oz and it has the occasional picture but I am so proud of this girl and her love for reading! 

My book, a blanket and a couple of snacks and I'm set. 

Roo is our cuddle bug. He's always ready for s snuggle.

I love her little notes. 

I moved the chairs to vacuum and then I heard them singing the wheels on the bus. I came down to Sprouty the bus driver and his passengers.

Just a casual day to the office. That office makes my cringe in the worst way. But Jakob on a important call in his work day best makes me smile!

Sprout taking back the neighbors trash cans. 

If Roo isn't watching a show, he wants to be in your lap reading books. He could read books all day long. He is actually really god at sitting there and letting you turn the pages. He loves to point and touch and feel but this boy loves his books!

A friend dropped off a sunflower just because and it brightened my entire week!

We are getting close to walking people!

My second commissioned cake. I don't know if cake making for other people is for me. I get SO nervous. I always second guess myslef and pile on so much pressure. Making cakes for yourself is so fun. I'm happy with how this turned out, but PHEW it was a stressful situation. 

Leave him alone for 5 minutes. How many cupboards do you see open?

Our nursing journey is coming to a close. He really only nurses before bedtime and once a night and I am both so relieved and devastated. Nursing brings such a bond and this is one of the only times that he is STILL in my arms. i have loved nursing my tiny humans. I am amazed at what my body is capable of and what a gift it is. I will miss these moments dearly, but I am also excited to officially close this chapter.

 

But if this pictures doesn't describe motherhood in a nutshell I don't know what does! 

 

E trying to make the fishy face. Oh my goodness we laughed and laughed and laughed. 

Those chubby cheeks. 

Sprout keep splitting his toes open and they look so so painful!

Found this selfie on my phone and it may be my favorite!!!!

Sprout was left unattended.

Costume prep!

Had to start another batch of vanilla. We cruise through vanilla!

All four kids were OUT!!!

This video of Sprout may be my new favorite. He is speaking in a British accent while making a teapot full of tea. Someone has been watching some Peppa Pig.

Jakob made some of the best steak tacos we have ever had! They were AMAZING!

Some days you just need to wear heels while you do chores!

Some cakes aren't fancy, some are just for dinner. Easy chocolate peanut butter cake. 

Thank heavens I had a little helper to reach the top shelves!

Some cool decorations at the church by our house!

Had to add Redd's hand prints to my collection and take some pictures of the other ones. 

Phew! That was a fun month but November is going to be BUSY too!!!! Here we go!!
