New haircut for Cole!

We got to spend a day at a day camp about 45 minutes from our house.  They had archery, a zip line,kids BMX course, etc.  It was awesome!!

Sydney ready to zip line



So high up!

Cole got scared.  And sat down.  I climbed up there to try and help him.  Once he saw Sydney do it,he said he could do it, too.  And he did!

Riding the ferry with Cole - I will miss these mornings once he is in Kinder next year!



A face only a mother could love... 
We had a heat wave in October so the community rec center opened its doors and allowed free pool use and they had crafts and snacks for the kids.  Cole enjoyed the cookies :) 


So did Sydney!



Cole found his and Sydney's cups at Sea World

Weeeeee!


Making Halloween cookies

We went through a captain underpants phase... he came downstairs and wanted THIS to be his Halloween costume. 

I got to volunteer in Sydney's class for her Halloween party.

Soccer Stars!

The kids tried soccer for the first time in the fall.  I was talked into coaching Sydney's team - I don't think they'll ask me back again this year as we didn't win any games!! But they all had a fun season!

Ducote Sleepover

We had the older Ducote kids over for a sleepover in September.  We had a fun afternoon of playing at the park, dinner and then a special movie treat: Captain Underpants!
Love how these kiddos get to grow up together.

Captain underpants!

They all decided to be captain underpants!!

Silly kids!  Love them all.

The boys


The next morning we walked down to Tidelands to play on the playground.  Since everyone was up at 5 a.m., we had the whole place to ourselves :)
