Citi Fall Festival.

We went on Friday to the Citi Fall festival. It was super fun. Here is what the boys wore.

First we did a haunted breakroom. It was a bit scary for Stephen, but still fun. They gave us candy at the end so that's rad. Then we did crafts. After that we did a charity cakewalk. We didn't win, but it was fun anyhow. After that we ate dinner. The burgers at Brian's work are HORRIBLE. We couldn't even make the kids finish them and they ate mostly chips and candy. HORRIBLE burgers people. After dinner it was time for games, sort of carnival style for kiddos. You always won a prize though. So that was super fun.

There was music in there and Ethan danced the ENTIRE time. Like this:

Then we danced properly for a while and went home. On the way to the car Stephen said, "Daddy your work is awesome" HAHAHA One Halloween event down, two to three more to go.

Is pool season over?

Pool season is just about done for us. It's been lovely weather lately. But today we just had to get in, couldn't let it end without one more swim.

This is something Stephen calls "Monkey Bars" he goes all around the pool like this.
Ethan does it in a float. (we had sloppy joes for dinner)
Funny face:
Two funny faces:
Stephen protests the demands of my photo taking.

Charlotte acting dead.
Brian spent the whole time working on cleaning. *boring*
Me. yes, I am using an Elmo pencil to style my hair. Doesn't everyone?
Ethan is a ham.

Stephen is not.
He's "letting my blue fish drink all the water in my elephant flower watering thing"
Now he's hamming it up.
Weird kids.

Go Seminoles

Today Brian and Stephen went out to Tallahassee for the FSU game.

Here is Stephen with Renegade the horse that the indian rides on. So he's like, half our mascot. Here is a super cute pic of Brian and Stephen. What a beautiful day it was.
And these next shots are a photo series. Stephen being a total ham.
Weird face.
"oooh my" shocked face.
While that was happening me and Ethan went to a craft show. He was extra special good. I looked around. I had hoped to get more ideas for Christmas gifts but didn't really. I did buy the boys some cute toys. I'll take pics with them another time. I really like getting them some handmade toys. These are ducks on sticks and you push them and they have wheels with flaps for feet. No pics for me though, we just have the one camera.

Chuch E Cheese

So I'm sure you love that place right?

Well I do! See the trick is to go RIGHT when they open. Get there right away. Everyone doesn't start to come until around 11, so we have the place to ourselves for more than an hour. Chuck E Cheese with just my kids is pretty awesome.

Today we made these:

We had never noticed the booth to make these. It's over in the big kids section. You get a random type one. They LOVE them. We made some for the grandparents. And some for us to keep of course.
We also finally had enough tickets to get some prizes. They picked out these cute little critters. They also each got a small sucker. We have TONS more tickets too. It's a secret why.

Ethan and the Potty.

Ethan Kellogg. Seen here: Is trying his very best to go potty ON the potty. He has peed on it a few times today. No poops yet, but he's trying. (A lot)

Congrats to Ethan. (and that's some yummy fabric you have there kiddo)

Blue tounges

Just a quick fun pic.
Our Bishop at church gives all the kids candy after church. Both my kids picked blue. They were so proud of their blue tounges. Arn't they the sweetest?

Storm Damage, Baseball, Ikea and Sea World.

A LOT to catch up on.

First of all we had Tropical Storm Fay. The problem with this storm is that it stayed over us for an entire day. So we had crap weather for over two days. We lost power for more than one day too. It sucked. It's HOT here with no power. Anyhow this is our damage: See this tree fell in our neighbor's yard and the roots are up under our fence. POOP! It could be ages before she gets that tree cut up and hauled away. It's like 20+ feet, we simply cannot do it for her, we did check. So we can't put up the new fence until that's done. We did pull all this down and cut it into pieces that they can take away and went to Lowes and got the crap for a new fence. So whenever that tree leaves we can get the job done.
We went to baseball on Tuesday. Here are pics:

Yesterday we went to Sea World. Our kids slept in so we did too. That ment we wanted to eat lunch in Orlando before going into the park. We got off the highway in Orlando. We saw McDonalds, A chicken place, but we wanted something different. Then we drove by a little side street, Brian said, "what's down there" I turned and saw... AN IKEA!!!! And of course Ikea has food. So we went because Brian loves me so much! Ikea sells fabric! Yummy fabric. I bought all this:
Close up of some fabrics:And the others:

Then we went into Sea World. It was wicked hot. Just crazy super hot. We had a good time though. These pics are from the Shamu show. did you know that Ethan is CRAZY for killer whales? He is! He LOVES them. Um.. he really was happy, it's just so stinking hot. And yes, we drank gallons of water.
My guys enjoying the show.
Here they are getting off a ride in Shamu's Happy Harbor.
And finally look at this cool mail Brian got! He sent the card to this football guy and the guy sent back this nice letter, the card signed and a little pin. That's so cool!

Down South

Last week I took the boys down to my mom's house for a few days then to my dad's. I wanted to spend time with my mom. Also she has been finding all sorts of great stuff at thrift stores so I had to check hers out. I filled my trunk with thrift finds!

We had a total blast at this park in Jensen Beach. By the way Jensen Beach is the adorable little beach town I grew up in. This park was no there then though. Anyhow it has this interactive fountain.
Self photo of mom.
Pensive Ethan

Me, my one foot and my two boys.
There is a beach at the park too.
With a horseshoe crab. *He's cute*
Mom again.
After a few days of mom's we went to my dad's. We went to a turtle rescue place, it was totally cool. They had lots of baby sea turtles. They have a cooler out front that you can put them in if you find one on the beach looking all lost. They have big turtles too, if someone finds one with it's fin caught in a net or that has swallowed a hook, they have it there. There is a little turtle museum too. Very cool.
We saw Wall-E Movie too. And ate out a lot. Oh at mom's Stephen went to Red Lobster and had his first crab legs. He loved them. That's an expensive love.
