Movie Night: Frozen.

I just love family traditions and family movie night is definitely becoming one of them. The other night we decided to watch Frozen. We had not seen it in awhile. I stacked 3 jumbo size marshmallows on top of one another and called it "Olaf." Thatcher watched bits and pieces here and there, but mostly wandered around the playroom. Hampton talked through the entire movie. And Eleanor clung to her Frozen tea set and sang here and there to the lyrics she knew. It was a fun time!

Autumn Photo Shoot Part 2

Autumn Photo Shoot Part 1

I really wanted some updated photos of our family this Autumn and so in order to save some money, decided to take them myself. After church last Sunday we headed to one of our favorite spots, the arboretum, with camera in hand. We were already dressed from church so it was very simple. We had packed a picnic lunch and then I took some photos throughout our walk. It was so fun and I am pleased with how everything turned out! We even had a man passing by snap a shot of our whole family! 

Backyard Fun in the Fall

It really is the Fall time when we start venturing outside more. The summer heat gets to us all, but Fall weather is perfect. Cool, not too warm. And the crunchy leaves and acorns galore just add to the fun. Eric mowed our back lawn the other day and we moved our play set from the deck. There was also a slight chill in the air. The children took care of the rest-between playing pirates, collecting acorns, kicking a ball around, and just plain running, they had a blast!
