I know Halloween was on a Sun. this year, but we decided to take them around the block anyway.  We counted this as an FHE and spending time together as a family!  It was also fun to show them off to the older people that live around us.  They loved seeing the kids!
     Stevie loved all the different costumes.  He didnt even get scared when he saw scary ones.  He would just look at them like they were crazy!  Here are their costumes:  Stevie, Franklin the Turtle.  Ada: Peapod.  Such cuties!

The New Painted Living Room and fun around the house!!

So we finally got around to painting the living room or our new home!  The old walls were all wooden panels.  Yes, I am so glad they are gone!!  We had to do a lot of work to hide it though.  I did not want the lines from the paneling to show, so we had to spackle them.  That is where I learned that I am not too good at spackeling.  I used way to much, but I got them covered!!  Then we had to sand it down, then paint.  What a fun time.  Tim even took half a day and a whole day off work to help, otherwise, I would have been doing it myself.  Here are the results of the day!

Yes, for those of you who know Tim, he is playing his playstation!  I know it's distracting, but look beyone him and you can see the wall.

The wall here behind the couch is not finished.  We are planning on painting two borders around it in the other color (the brigher one behind Tim).

Yes, you can see Stevie here helping Tim play!  There are closeups further down, but he has found a gun for himself to use!!

Here is an extreem close up!  The teal is a little bold, but we like it.  I love it!! 

All I need now it to create curtains.  I know what kind of style I want too.  They will be brown with teal (matching the bright one maybe) buttons on the top.  I know that sounds wierd but it will be cute! 

Stevie has discovered my curling irons make good guns!!

He likes to concentrate!

This picture is hilarious!!  He took my old glasses and tried to wear them!  I think he looks alot like my older brother Frank when he wore glasses when he was younger.  They still had their lenses in and he could not walk to well.  It was funny watching him try to figure out what was going on.

Stevie's working man clothes!!!

My first attempt on a hair bow for adalyn!  It worked ok.  but not he best.  Still needs more hair.

I love this outfit!  I guess she was just exhausted! 

Outside having fun on a great day!

Thought it was festive that she was eating a bat

I totally love his eyes in the picture!  He would pour water from a tea kettle and pour me and him drinks.  Then we would throw the water out! 

I think he is making fun of me when I used to do workouts with the yoga ball. 

Life is so much fun with kids.  I learn something new everyday!  It is wonderful to have our own house too.  Even though it is smaller, it is something that we have wanted for so so long. 

Stevie playing in the rain!

Finally got some rain in Indy.  It has been a very dry summer, and was nice to get some kind of rain.  I found this little froggy rain suit at a yard sale and thought it was the perfect day for Stevie to try it out.  It also came with an umbrella, but it was broke, and I need to get arund to fixing it!

He had woken up from his nap not too long ago and wanted a snack.  So needless to say, getting him to

hand over the Pringles was not going to happen! But wouldnt he be a good model for them?

Maybe I should send it in?

Thought he looked like an old man here with his walking stick

Stevies' smile makes me so happy! 

I love getting his reflection in the water!  I took a lot of those.

I love our new camera.  It is so much fun to take pictures with.  I know there is much more

that I need to learn with it, but for now, just taking fun action shots are good for me!!!
