Pumpkin Fun with Daddy

Michael is the pumpkin carver in our family...I just draw the faces on the pumpkins and let him and the kids do all the messy work. Well, actually the kids just watch...and hope that daddy doesn't drop any pumpkin goop on them.
Check out these GORGEOUS sunflowers that I got at the farmers market last Saturday! and they were a steal too...2 bouquets at $2.50 each...can't beat it! I love the bright pop of orange that they add to the room.
If you can't tell from my house, I LOVE fall colors!
And...(drumroll please)...here is the final masterpiece(s)!
Now we're just hoping that no one jacks our jack-o-lanterns! Last year someone stole our pumpkin off our front porch!...it nearly broke Audrey's little heart!

On your marks, get set, GO!

As promised, here is a video of our little man Wylie in action at Amma and Papa's house earlier today.

Just pretend you don't notice that its sideways :)

Wylie is WALKING!

"Amma" (Michael's mom) is watching the kids today while I'm at work. She called this morning with some VERY exciting news...our little man is walking!
Yeah...finally! (and of course he chooses to start walking while I'm at work and can't be there...sniffle sniffle :(
She took a little video of him walking and she showed it to him on the computer. She snapped this pic of him as he was watching it. As you can tell from the picture, he is quite pleased with himself!
I'll make sure to post a video of him "in action" once I get home. Oh, and don't mind the drool that's all over his shirt...he's teething like crazy!

One Year Ago...

I just had to share!

I found this image on another blog and I just had to share! For those of you who have or have had a nursing baby, I'm sure you'll get a big kick out of this!


HA! HA! It makes me laugh every time I look at it! Its like nursing babies always have their "Tata Radar" turned on!...Even when they're cast in bronze!

Its sheet changing day at the Sullivan's!

Not that this is normally an exciting event but this morning it was pretty darn hysterical!

First I uneventfully changed the sheets in the kids rooms, before heading to our room. This was the last room to tackle and I needed to do it quickly since it was Wylie's nap time and he was running out of steam. So I stripped the bed and threw all the dirty sheets on the floor in a pile, then I left the room to go get the clean set of sheets from the hall cupboard, and when I came back in the room, this is what I found...

Ok so first I must admit that I've always had a love for dogs, but even more than that, I've always had a love for torturing dogs (in a playful way). As a kid, instead of dressing my dolls, I would dress my dog Taffy in my bathing suits...now that I think of it, its kinda disgusting, but I always thought it was the most hysterical thing...like once she was dressed I thought it was so funny that I had to sit down so I wouldn't wet myself cause I was laughing so hard...

Flash forward to this morning and its like I was a kid again. I saw Audrey wrapping the dogs in the sheets and both of us were laughing uncontrollably!

I'm sure a good mother would have stopped her, but instead I just jumped in to help!

Wylie wasn't quite sure what to think of all the commotion...he just wanted to take a nap

Although this could have gone on all morning, I thought the dogs had been put through enough so we gave it a rest...

but then of course it was time for the dogs to take all of their aggressions out, so they wrestled each other for the next several minutes.

And FINALLY the sheets were on, the bed was made, and Wylie got his nap!
PHEW!

Two posts in One day!

Watch out world, I'm just a blogging machine! (...hardly)

So, the kids are in bed, the house is quiet, the pups are sleeping at my feet, and Michael is at church helping with youth group, so what better to do than blog (and watch last night's Biggest Loser as soon as I'm done).

Anyway, just wanted to post a few pics that we took at the park tonight before Michael went to youth.

Little Man sure did get a kick out of the slide today!

Here's Audrey in a rather questionable position...she's still learning how to look graceful while climbing the slide.

Wylie has a big smile on his face cause he knew we were leaving the park to go eat dinner. Ahh I love my little fatty!

Thats all folks!
