365 Challenge - Weeks 40, 41, & 42

October has been a great month for us. We haven't done nearly as much fall stuff as we usually do, but that's ok with all of us. Last year I think we went to 5 different pumpkin patches or fall festivals. This year we kept it to just a couple. We were planning to move over Halloween weekend, but our closing has been pushed back a couple weeks, so that took off a little bit of timing pressure. Now as long as we don't get pushed back again, we'll be able to move before these babies keep me from moving at all.

Brooke and Harrison are still loving school, and as much as I wanted them to go three days a week, two days seems to be perfect. The only activity they have had going on over the past couple months has been dance class once a week. We had originally planned to do gymnastics and swim class at The Y, but their school schedule didn't work with the classes available. Me waiting until the last minute to get them registered may have also had something to do with it. Luck for them, we did manage to get registered for both swim and gymnastics for the next session. Classes start next week and run until the week of December 20th. Perfect timing to go along with the arrival of the new babies, who are scheduled to make an appearance just after Christmas. Harrison asks every morning when he wakes up if we are going to go somewhere, so keeping him busy is a must, unless I want to spend all of our time at Target. He alwyas wants to go and get new toys. Sorry buddy, but no.

I missed another day over the last few weeks. October 16th is missing a picture, and I honestly can't remember what we did that day. Maybe packing, because I do remember going to bed early after having lots of braxton hicks that evening. Anyway, here's 20 pictures for the last 3 weeks.

365 Challenge - Weeks 36, 37, 38, & 39

Life has been crazy lately. Good crazy, but crazy. Between pregnancy, the kids' school, and getting ready to move, there's never a dull moment. Blogging has taken a major backseat. At the end of the day I don't have the energy or motivation to work on a blog post, hence why I am squeezing 4 weeks of pictures into this post. I'm sure most of you would never notice, but I did miss a picture a few weeks ago. I didn't snap a single picture on 9.13. Not even a random food pic. My 365 challenge has turned into a 364 challenge, but no biggie. If I only miss one day, I figure that's no biggie.

I have been trying to stay mobile with the kids as much as possible. There has been lots of bike riding going on, quite a few trips to the zoo, a few fun fall activities, and a whole lot of mommy breaks mixed in. When I'm not up for a walk, I have them ride their bikes in the driveway. They love to pretend that they're going through the Starbucks drive thru. We only go there once or twice a week, but they know the routine by heart. I eat 20-30 pretend chocolate croissants and bacon gouda sandwiches each week.

Now onto picture post overload.

365 Challenge - Weeks 33, 34, & 35

This post is only almost a week late, but as with everything in our lives right now, I'll get to it when I get to it. We have had some pretty big things going on lately. Brooke and Harrison started Pre-School last week!! I probably should write a post all about their first day, but it probably wouldn't get done until next month. ;) They really enjoyed their first day and their second day, which was today. We've been making it a point to enjoy summer as much as possible before it's gone. The Y pool is already closed, we probably had our last swim at the lake on Labor Day, and the zoo is only open for another month. We've been loving this late summer weather, and as much as we're looking forward to fall, we'll be sad when summer is officially over.

In other big news we started looking for a house to buy. We have been on the fence as to whether we would wait until after the babies are born or try and make the move now. We've been looking for a couple weeks and have seen a few great options. If we can make a decision and get moved before mid Novemeber, I think we'll be happy we decided to do it now. The kids have come with us for a couple showings, and Brooke has insisted on using the bathroom at each house we tour. To everyone who has their home listed for sale in the '04 and '14, you're welcome. I will definitely be keeping the blog updated about our home hunting and hopefully purchasing adventures.

For now, here are our last 3 weeks of pictures, taken almost entirely on my iPhone. Lugging around the Nikon and a twin belly don't go together too well.
