State Fair

10.6.12

We actually got a nice, cool Fall day.  Teagan really wanted to carve pumpkins, so we headed out to choose some. 

What about his big one?

Contemplating the options....

10.7.12

Teagan chose this cat silhouette design and I carved it for her.

Since it was a nice cool evening, Paul lit a fire in the fireplace and we had a little picnic dinner in front of it.

 Cheers!

I made Teagan a "pig pancake" as she requested and she deemed it just as good as the one she saw on the Betty Crocker video.

Asher wants nothing to do with pancakes or anything bread-like, so he stuck to his typical smoothie.

We had so much fun at the State Fair with Grandma.  The kids got to pretend to do a bunch of things on a farm, complete with driving a tractor.

 

Asher liked the grilled corn.

 

Teagan got her first corny dog.  She seemed to like the hot dog, but wasn't so sure about the breading.

When you need a seat to sit down and drink your hot chocolate, sometimes you just have to improvise.  A baby doll bath tub turned upside down will do.

Climbing on the buffalo at Waters Creek.

Teagan convinced me to make gingerbread cookies so she could have a tea party.  After they were all decorated, she suddenly decided that she and Asher were puppies and we needed to have our tea party on the floor.

10.15.12

Teagan and Asher decided to un-stuff her dog to make snow.  I really wasn't crazy about that idea, but I guess it was easy enough to clean up.

Paul took the day off after the 10/15 deadline, so Teagan decided she wanted us to go to the park and feed the ducks.

Teagan is always dressing up for something....

Asher's silliness.  He thinks it's pretty funny to blow raspberries.

10.18.12

Teagan likes to make beds for her and Asher on our front rug.  It really grosses me out that they like to lay down on the rug everyone steps on as they first walk in the door, but for some reason they love to pretend to sleep there.

Pumpkin Patch

Picnic lunch on the couch with the iPad.  Some days, you just have to take the easy way out.

 Working together with play doh.

The Fall season has officially been kicked off with our trip to Owens Spring Creek Farm.  We fed the goats, saw the horses and other animals, and went on a hayride.

Feeding the animals at Owens farm.

Choosing the perfect pumpkin.

Bath time fun

9.25.12

Watch out, he's armed! Asher was disappointed that water guns are out of season, so he chose a new bubble gun at the store.

Peek-a-boo! Taking a break f rom coloring her cardboard house.

These kiddos never seem to want to wear goggles in the pool, but the bath is a different story.

9.27.12

Enjoying the last days of "summer" with chocolate popsicles outside.

 Ear protection, Teagan wearing Paul's shoes, and Asher wearing mine.  Not sure what is going on here!

Family

 The kiddos enjoyed spending time with their Aunt Niki.

 The whole Knutson clan.

9.17.12

It's always someone's birthday!

9.18.12

Bike riding!  Teagan does really well on her balance bike now.  She coasts a lot, completely balancing with both her legs off the ground.  I'm pretty sure she could ride a regular bike now.  Maybe for her 5th birthday we'll do a bike.

Asher is finally just tall enough for his balance bike.  He needs to grow just a bit more though to ride it comfortably.

9.19.12

Teagan jumps on any chance she gets to dress Asher up.  He usually is a pretty willing participant.

9.20.12

Teagan is cooking up a secret recipe.  Main ingredient: water.

9.21.12
I've managed to get a picture of the kiddos every day..... up until today :(  Oh well.

9.22.12



Hanging out on Daddy's shoulders at the Plano Balloon Festival.
 

Asher was fascinated with the balloons and the parachute skydive team.

 

We watched so many balloons launch.  It was such a fun experience for the kids to see the balloons.

9.23.12



 Nice, well-chilled baby (can I still call him that?) in a cooler bag.

 

 Teagan loves to decorate play-doh cakes.

 9.24.12

Hard at work with a Halloween craft that she picked out.

Is that dog eating Asher's action figure?  Maybe he's just giving him a friendly kiss.
