Random stuff

The girls love playing in the huge box their bean bag chair came in.

Got these new puzzles for Rylie to learn short to tall and thin to wide, however it wasn't challenging at all for her. First time she just placed them all in the right spots without any trouble.

Sienna said she wants to be a policeman when she grows up like Pa Pa and Auntie Aisha. Then she said, "And the first time people are bad I will give them a warning, the second time I will make them give me their money, and the third time I will put them in jail."

The money comment I think came from a discussion I had with her back when Grandma got pulled over and got a warning. I explained sometimes you get a warning and sometimes a ticket and if you get a ticket you have to pay money. Obviously I didn't explain that the policeman doesn't get the money.

Jar O' Lanterns & Bones

Our simple Halloween craft: Jar O' Lanterns

These look much better with the candles than this photo shows.

Then we made bones. Putting the marshmallows on the pretzel sticks entertained the kids for quite a long time.

Our jar of bones.

Ry Ry's friend Laelia.

Potty time & Daddy

When Sienna goes potty Rylie imitates with the stool.

Sienna said these are her pictures of her daddy. She got the short hair and big nose right ;)
Honey, you look a little crazy in this one :)

A few pictures

They always need a hiking stick.

Sienna got these from one of the dancers at the luau. She walked by and said, "Hey I really like your flowers." And he gave them to her. This stuff happens to Sienna all the time! One time in a hotel when we were checking in she told the woman she really liked her butterfly necklace. The butterfly was made out of different colored rhinestones. The woman takes it off and puts it on Sienna's neck and tells her "It's yours. You take good care if it." There are several other instances I could name, but Sienna now is convinced, "People give me things cause I'm so nice and good." I have no clue why people/strangers are always giving her things.

Judd Memorial Trail & Jackass Ginger Pool

Today we went hiking with some friends. The kids did great, until the end. On our way out Sienna sat on a huge fallen over tree. She was sitting near the roots and slipped off. All we could see was her chest & up, she was screaming & bracing herself with her arms against the tree trunk & the ground. Thank God she instinctively put her arms out to do that & was able to do it until Debbie & I got there (we were a little behind helping the little ones up the hill). When we pulled Sienna out we couldn't see the bottom of the hole it was so deep. Very scary for all of us. Sienna is quite scraped up, but is ok. On the way home, in the car her friend Hailey said, "Sienna I don't ever want you to fall in a hole again."

The big girls refused any help crossing the river.

Whoa!

Our 4 little hikers.
Sienna with her friend Hailey & Rylie's friend Holly. Rylie was refusing to be in the picture.

Jackass Ginger Pool.
The local kids come down to jump in for swimming using the rope swings to jump in.

A few rounds of "ring around the rosie" were played.

Believe it or not there was a moment where all 4 kids were fighting over the same walking stick. Hello kids we are in a forest full of sticks, there are plenty more!

About 3/4 of the way across Rylie insisted "Ry Ry do it self!" So after we got to the flatter rocks a very nervous Mommy let her finish crossing herself.

She was so proud.
