October

October was a lot of fun!  While everyone else is recapping Christmas right now, we are still catching up.  It is very difficult to get a picture of all three kids at once.  I don't think Wyatt was all that happy about this one.

Jenna got this roll on lip gloss at school, and she put it on about 100 times that evening until it "disappeared".

We took a girls trip to College Station to visit Liza.  Since then, anytime we go somewhere without the boys it's a girls trip (girls trip to Target?  Sure!).  We went to the children's museum in Bryan, which is pretty basic, but the kids didn't notice and had a great time.  Sydney was happy to try out the crutches in the doctor center. I was glad this is only pretend!

Liza set up a baking soda and vinegar experiment, which the girls thought was the coolest thing ever.

While we were playing, the boys were hard at work fixing up a rent house we had just bought.

Sydney was sick and stayed home with a babysitter by herself, which turned out to be the best day ever since the sitter brought a bunch of crafts with her.  Sydney thought she was pretty cool with this needlepoint.  That evening she suggested the babysitter move in with us.

We took a trip to Sea World with friends, and I was glad to join this time since I missed the May trip after I broke my ankle.  Huge thank you to Granny for keeping Wyatt at home so that we could have fun without worrying about naps, bottles, and baby food.

I still had the handicap parking pass, so we enjoyed the close parking!

We had such a good time with these sweet friends.  Our girls are the same ages, and they play together so well.  

Jenna's first time on the Shamu roller coaster!  She loved it.

The girls were not afraid of the characters this time!

Asleep within five minutes of leaving Sea World!  It is so much fun to do things like this as the kids get older.

And so it begins... Wyatt started climbing up on things and hasn't stopped!

Wyatt had lots of fun with Granny while we were gone, but I think he missed his sisters!

We had a rough few weeks... Sydney never fully recovered after she was sick, and she ended up with pneumonia.  You know she is sick when she didn't eat this cookie dessert!!!

Luckily Granny stayed in town for a week, and she had one of the kids home sick every day.  She had to take Sydney to the doctor, and she had blood drawn.  Sydney does not like shots so this was a big deal.  She gets a bit dramatic but managed to survive.  After a few days on antibiotics she was doing much better.

Trying on the tiger costume!  Turns out this would be the only picture of his Halloween costume.  Wyatt hates wearing hats, and he was very grumpy on Halloween, so he did not wear the costume at all.

Next up... Sydney's birthday and Halloween!
