Chuck E Cheese

Exhausted, about ready to leave

Jack, Ella & Aria - all in the Jeep

We had a playdate yesterday at Chuck E Cheese. It was a hit with all 3 toddlers & the 2 babies! Jack was exhausted once we got home. I foresee a few more winter playdates here!

Loll Designs

Our furniture, pics requested by Laura. We have the sofa & one chair. Waiting on one more chair & deciding on a table. LOVE this outdoor furniture made of out 100% recycled material.

Science Museum

 Triceratops

 T-Rex

Saturday was our first outing to the Science Museum, both boys were in overload! Fun had by all.

Post 3 Year Pics

Keeping himself busy while waiting for lunch at Chatterbox in St. Paul.

Halloween

 Treats at Grandma & Grandpa's

 Ready to go!

 Note the faces, they are already giving us attitude about smiling for the camera!

A few smiles before heading out trick or treating!

Triceratops

Someone has daddy wrapped around his little finger. Brandon brought home T-Rex's friend Triceratops today. Happy little boy, push over of a daddy :)

Loll Designs

Our new outdoor furniture by Loll Designs. An amazingly cool company out of Duluth, www.lolldesigns.com. Their products are made from 100% recycled plastic, they are all weather, fun and the name of their company comes from the phrase "lollygagging around" - read more about them on their site, we love it!

Reading Spot

Perhaps this will be a quiet spot in the house (note of sarcasm). New Room & Board chair for the bedroom.

T-Rex

Jack became obsessed with an advertisement with this "Mega T-Rex" on the front last week. Brandon was traveling for work, and every night on Facetime Jack would show Brandon the picture and ask him to bring it home. No surprise, Brandon brought it home.

Car Wash

Jack gets very excited for the car wash.

Bad Girl

What happens when Jack leaves his snack on the coffee table and Madeline thinks everyone is outside.

The Girls

Enjoying this unseasonable weather.

Jack & Sydney

This is when Sydney thinks Jack is okay. He had a bag of cereal, which he alternatively ate & gave to Sydney. What I did not get a picture of was Madeline eventually joining in on the fun. No wonder our dogs have been advised by the vet to lose weight!

MN Zoo

Jack is clearly not afraid of animals, as Grigg puts a few feet between himself & the goats.

Children's Museum

We spent the morning at the Children's Museum and Grigg & Jack did their fair share of exploring. As you can see in this photo, Jack was asleep before we were even halfway home.

Cute

No specific reason to share this photo, I just thought it was cute.

Thai Food

Jack enjoyed spring rolls for lunch. He regularly requests Thai food for dinner. Love it!

Pre & Post Show

Pre-show, in the elevator

Spacy, post-show at Starbucks

Jack loved Yo Gabba Gabba Live. He was really excited pre-show and really tired post-show.

More Yo Gabba Gabba

Enjoying the glasses 

Waiting patiently for the show to start.

iPad

I think he is more proficient with the iPad than either adult in this household.

Tomato Plants

Hiding in the tomato plants.

Bike Ride

Brandon gets extra points as this was in the middle of Sunday football :)
