A REAL HOUSE!

It's finally happened! We have a house. It's not our house, but it's a house! More rooms, bigger kitchen, and a basement! So nice to be able to have the boys in their own rooms and all their toys out of the living room. It was an easy move as were able to start moving our stuff in at the beginning of November. It only took the guys (thanks for your help you know who you are) one big load. Thanks to our awesome landlord who let us borrow his trailer. To the side of the house is the yard and there is a deck off the dining room upstairs and a patio below. The basement is currently being used as storage with plans for a toy room, TV room, and maybe a crafting area. The former tenants left a ping pong table and a piano. So hopefully we can entertain down there in the future.

Finding the beauty in Spiders....

Today as we were coming home from taking Cooper to school, I noticed our doorstep spider had taken a hiatus, due to "down came the rain".

On our way to the pumpkin patch, we saw a field of not so "itsby-bitsy"spiders.
I love these fall colors!

Fall Craft

Quick easy craft. Collect fallen leaves, glue them to paper.

Wet, Rainy, & Fishin'

As a random spur of the moment family together time, we decided to go fishing. We bundled up the boys, and headed to the Carbon River in Orting. When we got to the trail I asked James how far it was to the fishing hole. He told me " oh, just a block." You can barely see people in front of us on the trail, and they weren't there yet.... Does that look like a block to you??? Try a 1/2 mile. It was fine. We got some good exercise. James chasing Cooper, and me trying to hold an umbrella over Logan.
James in all his glory. Only a man could enjoy this. Cooper and Logan had fun throwing rocks.
Cooper really wanted to go fishing with his daddy. Next time, it won't be raining, and we'll go to a sandy beach. That is if James want's us to go next time.
