Pumpkin Patches and Super Heroes

Okay, here we go everyone.

Deep breaths.

Ready?

Let's start with a little something

I did with Kale that didn't turn out

as great as pinterest 

would have you believe.

I made colorful ice cubes:

And put them in the bath with Kale:

 

In about 30 seconds they were melted and the 

water looked disgusting:

 

So we drained the water

and I promised we never do that again.

You're welcome, future Kale, for

all the bath pictures published

on the internet ;)

October was such a fun month for us!

Kale LOVES pumpkins and 

pumpkin patches, so we 

took him to a couple.

The first one had pony rides:

 

And of course, a pumpkin patch:

 

As well as a corn maze!

That was my favorite part.

 

These little scarecrows were

everywhere in the corn maze.

Every time we came across one Kale 

would stop and point and say,

"Mamma, whats that?"

 

We solved the maze!!!

(This is Kale's thumbs up)

 

My friend Kim stopped by

and gave Kale their old

giant legos which was 

so amazing of her because Kale loves them so much!

 

 The other pumpkin patch was less 

of a patch and more a place

to get pumpkins and spend money....

but it was great!

There was a cute little kids

play area that Kale 

had fun with:

 

This thing was awesome.

They attached multiple slides

to this pyramid of hay.

So clever.

 

It was a really sunny day!

This little hay maze was really

neat too!

Kale started to do it but then

just wanted to climb on top 

of it instead.

 

 

Kale got a poopy bumb,

it's always fun to change those in the 

back seat of a car.

Good job Ty!

They also had this cute rubber ducky

race thing that was super fun.

 

 

Then we got our pumpkins and

headed home,

to watch the BYU game.

 Kale and I built a fort.

And by Kale and I, 

I mean,

I built a fort.

We watched Toy story in there:

 

And played with the 

bead light thing.

 

And one day we spent a good part of the day 

walking around town

collecting pretty leaves.

Then, we glued them to cardboard

cutouts of the letters K and P:

 

Let's talk about Halloween.

Kale got to do some

trunk-or-treating as well as 

actual trick-or-treating this year!

He loved getting candy.

 

Batman and Robin!!!!!!

While trunk-or-treating

Kale had no problem

grabbing a whole

handful of candy!

But he always said thank you :)

 

 Time for trick-or-treating!
Little bit excited...

We went with Bauston and Kristen

and Kristen's mom Tally.

It was a blast!

Kale was still getting over being sick

and his cough started getting 

bad so was had to call it a night.

 

And now, as if he couldn't be any more

adorable, I show you, he can.

Told ya.

And that brings us to the end of 

our pictures.

November should be more chill.

Next week is my last week 

of school (hooray!)

and only 5 weeks till we 

leave for Utah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not excited at all.

Silly Times Are My Favorite

Let's jump right into it.

Kale had a little "Birthday Party"

with some of his buddies.

His friends brought him presents,

they played outside for a bit,

and then we had yummy cupcakes.

They sang happy birthday to him

and he blew out his candles,

so cute!

 

These are the cupcakes I made. 

The one on the left obviously is Orange,

the one on the right was Cookies n' Cream.

There is a whole double-stuf oreo

baked in the middle of the cupcake!!!!!

Needless to say, the cookie

ones were a hit.

Kale had way more than

was probably necessary,

but it's his birthday :)

A few days ago I saw this thing

on pinterest that suggests making 

paint with lotion and food coloring.

Sounded great to me so I decided to make 

some for Kale.

Of course, I documented the whole

thing.

He was so excited!

 

After this point things got pretty

messy so I had to wait and

just take a picture at the very end.

And boy is it a great picture!

 

These were the pictures he painted:

 

He HATES the shower,

but that was the best way to get him clean.

He cried the whole time

and begged me to be all done.

Poor guy. 

But we got him all clean:

 

His birthday present from Tyler and I

finally came.

Kale and I had some silly fun with it.

 

 Future John Stockton? Only
Time will tell :)

Then, when Tyler was about 

to come home from school,

we left him this note

taped to the door along

with a bag of baller 

clothes. 

I know, I know, I'm super funny ;)

I love my boys!!!

It was like the Harlem Globetrotters

in our living/dining room.

After Kale's nap we took

the basketball hoop

outside for him to play with.

He got bored of it for a bit

and started playing with

grass and leaves instead...

 

Kale's buddy Miles came

to play.

He's 3 and a little taller than Kale,

so shooting it was easier for him.

But he was so cute and kept showing Kale

how to do it until Kale eventually made

a basket.

Every time Kale made a basket,

Miles would shout Hooray!

and then ask for a high five.

 

Today Kale and I did

another fun activity found 

on Pinterest.

I took one of my shallow storage bins, 

lined it with aluminum foil,

and put a string of Christmas 

lights inside.

Put the lid on,

make the room dark,

and turn it on!

Then, we put a bunch of beads on

top for him to play with.

He loved it!

This is how I made his room nice and dark:

And then we just played!

Fun fun times.

I love being a mom!
