Fun Times in October

Here's some stuff that was fun from October....more to come on Halloween.

I decided to do a volcano science experiment with Cohen.  The volcano was so short lived I must have done it wrong, but we had fun building the volcano anyways and getting the dinosaurs out and everything.

This Foosball table is at Josh's school.  Whenever there is a school/family event Cohen makes sure to hit up the Foosball table and usually spends most of his time there.  He is intense!

Josh started coming home from school like this some days.  He is a truly a doctor in training.  I love it!

Cohen started joy school (preschool) on my Birthday.  Here he is on his first day of school.  What a cutie!

Cohen combined a couple of his pretend games he plays.  It is very common that he is Hercules and I am Meg.  He also likes pretending that certain nuts from his tool set are wedding rings.  One day he was Hercules and I was Meg, and he gave me a ring, and we were married.  He was so proud and just taking in the moment.  He took it very seriously.

 I'm so corny it almost made me tear up.  He really loves his mommy.

Parker got his first hair cut.  It was beyond his ears!  He was a happy guy BEFORE his hair cut.... but not so much afterword.

Before

 Mind you, we only snapped pictures when we could manage it.... when Parker was not crying is eyes out.

 This baby cracker/cookie thing did the trick for awhile....

 He survived... barely

After

Parker took his first steps in October, about a week after figuring out how to really get around with his gorilla crawl.  He was 10 months.

I had a Birthday and my family treated me like a queen.  Josh let me be free from my beautiful children for much of the day.  What a gift!  I made my own cake... just because I wanted to I guess.  My wonderful friends also threw me a little surprise party.  What a fun day!

Here is Parker's first time brushing teeth.  He thought it tickled and just giggled the whole time.  Josh was studying, so I had Cohen record....
