All on a Rainy October Saturday....


A little over a week ago, our boys had a little bit of a stomach bug. It was a rainy Saturday, and for the first time in a long time we had nothing planned for the day. It was such a fun day though. We were all together, and we just enjoyed the day as a family in our home. We dehydrated apples in to "apple chips" as Ryker would say
Had some homemade bread
and apple crisp
We then helped the kids paint pumpkins. I have come to the conclusion that it is so much more fun to paint the pumpkins rather than carve them at this stage of life. I don't have to assist the kids at all, I just let them go at it and paint. They loved it.

Rykers scary face to go along with his scary pumpkin. He also painted a nice face on the other side of the pumpkin and would change it everyday:)


Bridger's pumpkin...I I told him to paint the nose, and he painted his nose instead of the pumpkins. If you look close, you can see the little dot on his nose.
Liv with her pumpkin....they kind of look like each other:)
such a sweetie!
Our pumpkin family....
At the end of the day when the kids were asleep, Shawn and I curled up to a redbox movie and drank hot chocolate. It was such a perfect day even if the kids were a little sick, sometimes it is so nice to just slow down and enjoy being together as a family and enjoy one anothers company.

I'm going to have to try to paint pumpkins. That looks like fun. Do you have to buy special paint? I love a sick day as well, as long as the kids aren't too sick. I especially love all the cuddles they give you when they're not feeling well.

How fun! I love a day without outside chaos. Sorry the kiddos were a bit under the weather, but looks like they had a great time anyway! Liv is so pretty, what a sweet little baby!

Ah, Megan. You guys are the best ever. Will you be in Utah the week of Christmas? If not, where will you be. I'm sure our drives will cross over each other and I need to see you guys!

Glad you guys had a nice day together - you totally deserve it!
