Everyone is loving these chairs that Jim bought for the back porch. There are only two of them as the intent was for Jim and I to relax and lounge together in the evenings once the kids are in bed. Instead, there is a mad rush out to the screened-in porch every morning to see who will score one of the best seats in the house ;-) Of course, an adult gets one if they so desire, and Scarlett has the longest legs, so it ended up a daddy (and Waverly) and Scarlett sit-together time. Camping was the main topic of conversation, as the kids want each and every detail.
The grand opening event that we attended was for a beautiful new gun range/club in a nearby town. The kids are the ones who called it "beautiful" and they, being the good sports that they are, were happy to check out all of the festivities and make a fun time of it. Lincoln's whole face lit up when he saw the pistol door handles at the entrance.
We toured the inside of the facility and the girls ooh'ed and ahh'ed over the pink and purple handguns, while Lincoln tried to get a compound bow off the wall, but thankfully it was mounted there. When we had seen all there was to see, we moseyed outdoors where there was free food - hotdogs, BBQ, a dessert bar and drinks. The kids all felt super cool, because they were allowed to go and order their food by themselves and get their drink refills themselves.
Victoria and her hat! Love this girl :-)
The kids were thrilled with the dessert bar, especially these one items which were called (I kid you not) "frosting shooters." They were everything the name promises - namely, cavities in a cup. Little plastic cups filled with frosting and a few sprinkles on top. It's what Victoria is eating daintily with a spoon in the picture. Yuck!
Waverly makes a nice chin-rest for me when she dozes off ;-) Scarlett, also rocking her hat, was enjoying her dessert selection(s).
At home later that afternoon, Lincoln found the most warrior-fighting-garb he could and spent some time punching various walls.
Nana returned home from a haircut, sporting a new, shorter and stylish 'do. She avoids pictures at all costs, but here is the back of her stylish head :-p
Bath time! I think these two pictures sum up about 80% of Lincoln's personality, haha
The kids' Halloween costumes had all finally arrived, and we agreed to let them try everything on. Well, of course, that ended with some advanced negotiations that resulted in them playing in their costumes for nearly an hour ;-) They were eventually retrieved and put up until trick-or-treating day, but daddy scored a preview shot of SilverMist, Pink Ninja, and Captain America!
