We have one chair that both kids ABSOLUTELY love! It is usually a fight between them as to who gets to sit in it. Well, on this particular day, they decided (on their own!) to share the seat to watch Veggietales. Such brotherly/sisterly love! I hope they stay like this forever!

Scarecrow building...

While my dad was here over the weekend, we went to the mall for a harvest party. They had scarecrow building, crafts, and cookies. The kids had a great time!

Before we went to the harvest party, we took a walk down the street because some neighbor kids were having a lemonade stand. Emilia wanted to ride her bike down there. The kids told us it was 25 cents for one Kool-Aid. We told them that we would take two. One of the girls said "That will be a dollar." LOL! We asked them how many quarters are in a dollar and they said four. Then we asked how much two quarters was and the little boy said "fifty cents!" We then said so how much would TWO drinks be? "Oh! Fifty cents!" the little boy told us. Nothing like a Math lesson on a Saturday morning. :-)

Emilia had a great time making her scarecrow. It was just a balloon with stickers but she made it herself!

She has been playing with Mr Potato Head a lot these days so she is getting good at placement of nose, mouth, eyes, etc.

Daddy held the scarecrow while Emilia put the hair on.

Looking good!

The two finished products. (Tristan got a little help with his!)

He loved it!

Emilia's artwork

She also got a butterfly tattoo on her hand.

After we made scarecrows, made a picture, and got a tattoo we had cookies...

...they were so good!

What a fun time we all had!
