Random Photos From Last Week...

This post was started a week and a half ago! I guess I got busy! So, here's lots of random shots of what we've been up to.
Here's a picture of our "nanny"--my sister Therese. W/out her, and my family (mom, sis's, gma, and Sarah), we wouldn't go out on dates nearly enough. It's crazy trying to squeeze them in, as it is. It's nice to be able to call spur-of-the-moment and get a sitter--an enthusiastic Auntie, at that! William thinks we should go out on dates, more often--he and Therese (and maybe my Dad) are kindred spirits. He always has somethin' up his sleeve, and pretty much is always smiling.
So, back to our date...I'm playing in an orchestra this semester, so Justin went along to the concert, then we got a bite to eat, afterward. (We went through the drive-through, b/c I was too embarrassed to go into a restaurant looking like Martha Washington.) The October Concert is a Dress-Up Halloween Concert, hence the lovely get-up. :) A friend of mine actually made the dress--isn't it pretty?! She graciously let me borrow it. :)
The boys getting ready for the Father/Son Camp! Justin's in charge of the rifle range--so they had lots of fun setting things up!
Madeline: The Maestro
What's she thinking here? Conducting? Counting? Hmm..



Cuddlebugs...



The Pumpkin Project: A Jack-O-Lantern
Justin turned out all the lights so they could see the pumpkin all lit up! After I took the picture, I realized the lovely background...but this is the one where they're all 4 looking. :)
William helping scoop out the pulp and seeds. He and Samuel were scared of it. Ha!
Eeewww!
Yum?
Justin cracking up that they were grossed out by his *fun* evening project.
The hands-on-Dad that had to do most of the work himself...they all thought it was quite interesting!
Landing the flip! Our new favorite thing to do at Mom's. I love to jump on the trampoline w/ my kids...especially now that I'm not big & pregnant! William gets a little freaked out if we jump too high, so after he gets off, Samuel, Isaac, and I have fun! It's great exercise.

Cool action shot!

He's very funny when he tries to jump
--"Watch this Mom! 1 leg!"--
Woohoo!
...and we all fall DOWN!
Madeline's jumps...

Last Tuesday night, we had dinner w/ some sweet friends of ours. Here's are three w/ Russel. (He's expecting a new sister in a few weeks!)
Love the hood!
My lil' munchkin...I like to see her walking through the house w/ this on...she looks like a little pink dunce!
William, our night owl, decided to wake up at 5 in the morning last week! Samuel somehow sensed that we were having a party w/out him. So, we were able to drink coffee and have devotions as a family before Justin left for work at 6.
