Water is fun to watch: Day 313/365

We took our family Christmas pictures in front of a museum and there was a pretty fountain in front of the building. Of course the kids were much more interested in the fountain than taking family pictures.

Watching sports is serious: Day 312/365

My husband and my son are both big sports watchers. What you can't see in the picture is there was one basketball game on the tv as well as one on my husband's iPad. They were in basketball heaven.

Serious snacking: Day 311/365

The little guy managed to sneak the box of Cheerios out of the pantry and dug in for a snack before breakfast. Then, he refused to eat them from a bowl because straight from the box is much more fun.

Simple fun: Day 310/365

I love that kids are entertained by simple things. Even just putting a blanket on the floor to crawl around in provided a good 10 minutes of fun in our house.

Fall is electric: Day 309/365

The cooler weather means the static electricity has taken over my daughter's hair. And it seems to be worse when she sits in a shopping cart. I couldn't help but laugh that her hair didn't seem to loose its craziness even after she sat down to eat lunch.

Fall colors: Day 308/365

I love the beautiful fall colors that we see every year. And this particular tree is absolutely gorgeous every year.

They can be still: Day 307/365

This was not a picture I intended to share, but I realized it was the only picture I took that day so it had to be shared. The kids were hanging out on the couch, actually both being still at the same time and I took a quick picture with no adjustments made to my phone. So, super poor quality, but it is what it is.

More pumpkin: Day 306

Continuing my pumpkin obsession, I baked pumpkin pound cake and my house smelled like pumpkin heaven.

Sad little trees: Day 305/365

After a night of rain and wind, we woke up to almost bare crepe myrtles in our back yard. They look so pitiful.

Halloween: Day 304/365

My Rapunzel and little pirate.

Covering up in his sleep: Day 303/365

I always cover my son up with a blanket  before I leave his room, but after watching him on the video monitor I know he uncovers himself when I leave. So, I was surprised to see him all wrapped up in his blanket when I went in to wake him up. I guess he thought he was hiding in his sleep.

Playing with the pumpkins: Day 302

My son has been fascinated with the pumpkins this year and while we were outside playing, he figured out how to take the top off and put it back on. So, that happened around 50 times before he got tired of it.

Drilling pumpkins: Day 301/365

After a little too much Pinterest viewing, I asked my husband to use a drill to "carve" one of our pumpkins. He was more than happy to comply with my request.

Pretty brushes all in a row: Day 300/365

I was getting ready to clean my makeup brushes and thought they looked pretty all lined up ready to be washed so I took a quick picture.

Biltmore: Day 299/365

My husband took me to the Biltmore Estate for my birthday. I was a good girl and follow the no camera rule in the house, but I took so many pictures outside. It was such a beautiful fall day in the mountains of North Carolina I just couldn't help myself.

Another day, another mess: Day 298/365

I can't help but laugh when my son feeds himself. He is such a messy little guy, but so happy with the mess I can't get mad.

Pumpkin overkill: Day 297/365

I think I have developed quite a pumpkin obsession this month.

Her "school picture": Day 296/365

My daughter tried to tell me this is how she wore her hair and headband for her school pictures that day.

Girl watching already: Day 295/365

I was doing a special project at my friend's dance studio and took the kids with me until my husband could pick them up. I found it amusing my son was fascinated with watching the girls dance at the young age of 21-months.

Going and watching: Day 294/365

I love how my son wants to be independent and move on his own, but always wants to make sure I am watching him go.

Pumpkin patch: Day 293/365

Our annual visit to the pumpkin patch in our area.

Playtime at the mall: Day 292/365

My husband and I decided to take the kids to the mall play area to burn some energy off. My son is just getting the hang of climbing and sliding on the equipment by himself and he was quite proud of it.
