So many excuses, not enough time: my hands hurt, I don't have time, half my pictures are blurry ones taken by two year olds (in bursts of course), etc. But I have pictures so I may as well catch up so I can keep on blogging. Gah. Life is moving too fast and I cannot seem to stay caught up on anything: laundry, shows, cleaning, meal prepping/cooking/etc, friends, life...
On to the Photo dump...
Lo taking a picture (what he calls "takka pikka") of Lan's diaper change
Girl on the bottom responsible for the photos up top. Still loving her yoga class!
Landon was sick start of September for a few days. Double ear infection if I remember correctly
A is also still loving prek
my hands are back to being terrible (and this was on a good day)
kids painting
trying new recipes so I don't hate cooking for my family. Also: 400 pictures of chocolate bunny on my phone.
D was sick for a few days mid September, just a fever but of course it puts us all out of whack

Gardens with friends
letter to old neighbors <3 <3
We had our 12 year anniversary of our first date! Celebrated low key on account of all the little sickies (Lo was great one day...)
Then like this the next! thankfully it was only a 24 hour thing of tired and clingy and fevery
lollies at the doc's
as a #treatyoself gift to myself Saturday night (twice that month!) I cleaned the kitchen spotless. Nothing better to walk into on a Sunday morning!!! Pure unadulterated JOY right here.
Lo, Kevs and the Boh-tees.

view from the kitchen sink
Kevs taking a try at sleeping in the babies room
wedding dress shopping with Sarah
little A thought the wedding was the DAY we were looking at dresses, which helped me understand her desperate need to find herself a dress RIGHT NOW TODAY THIS ONE OR I WILL CRY.
a little shopping lightened her up!
post workout (pre workout for me) breakfast with the hubby!
while the twinners played Legos
My parents came into town for a few days so we did costume shopping. babies: "ILL TAKE EVERYTHING"
LITTLE A: "ILL TAKE ALL THE PRINCESSES"
BABIES: "MARIOLUIGI LIKE UNCLE DANIEL!"
also OLAF BACKPACKS and MICKEY HANDS
final decision was the best one... SUPER WONDER WOMAN GIRL! (as she calls herself)
As we leave the store: "I WANT TO BE GROOT FOR HALLOWEEN!" "ME TOO!" "I DO, ME!"
There were no groot costumes for children.
We went to Cafe Zupas and Lan found my scissors in my backpack...and chopped off a chunk of my hair while I wasn't looking! then he ran away when confronted with the situation...
it was still a good lunch
little d as my model for a work of art I put into a show (didn't get accepted so it will need tweaking before I put on the blog)

little AZ friends!
Ohioans at the wedding party
making more friends from Daddy's mission in AZ

I hate Burger King. It is my least favorite save Taco Bell of the fast foods, but they all wanted to go and get some crowns so I obliged because we were almost back home to Utah.
