Happenings

Here's some random pictures of the things happening at the Scott house. 

Milan and I made Halloween cookies for a little get-together and while Dave and I were off brushing our teeth, Milan scored some treats for herself and Eden.....I guess Eden loves frosting too!

We let Eden try out the big girl car seat while Milan was at preschool. When I put her back in her rear-facing carrier, she took one look at Milan's car seat and started screaming. After an emergency trip to Wal-Mart we promoted Eden even though she still has 1 1/2 pounds to go to be legal.

Milan got a new booster seat and the seat belt is a total pain....I miss the days when she could buckle herself.  (Oh, I also miss garage parking during wind/snow storms.)  Here's Milan sporting her craft from story time!

Eden loves to "help" Dave with his homework and all things computer related.

Milan loves pushing and Eden loves riding so this is a fun game at our house.

Date night.

 Heading out to find a good spot for the Homecoming Parade.

 Milan and all of her loot from the parade.

 A little marshmallow Eden-bug!

This week we're gearing up for a ton of Halloween festivities in Laramie....should be pretty fun!  Milan is already practicing her trick-or-treating skills all around our house, Eden absolutely hates all of her costume options, and this will be Dave's first time trick or treating with our little family (good bye lame work schedule!)

Candy Hunt!

A friend invited us over for a very fun activity!  They raked all their leaves into piles and then hid candy in the piles for the kiddos.  Milan loved it...... a lot!

They even had a pile for the little ones.  After Eden got her sucker, she was content to just hang out for a while.   

Fall Family Pics

I have been wanting new family pics for a while....last weekend my friend was super nice and offered to take our pictures with my camera.  Of course the pretty fall leaves were pretty much gone, the lighting was terrible, and Eden was not super enthusiastic about this project, BUT we managed to get a couple of good ones.  I've already warned Dave about more pictures in the near future :)

My FAVORITE!

 Eden's face is hilarious....yep, less than enthusiastic.

 We busted out the marshmallows and got some smiles!



Fall Fun

I have dragged Dave to corn mazes for years....he was able to take a 3 year break while we lived in Rock Springs (it would have been a little ridiculous to drive 3 hours for corn maze fun) BUT when I discovered a pumpkin patch and corn maze in Fort Collins, Dave knew he was in trouble.  Well, he may not have known right away, since I woke him up at 12:30 with the news, but the next morning Milan and I were excited for our little family adventure.  Lucky for us, Dave and Eden are good sports!

Milan's first choice was the tractor pull.

The petting zoo was also a big hit!

Milan was our leader through the corn maze and she loved it!  She skipped, ran, and laughed through the whole maze.  She did an awesome job through the kid's maze then got us lost in the bigger maze so we eventually just pretended the entrance was the exit so she felt pretty dang successful!

Eden just enjoyed the ride. 

Some cute kids!

The hay play area.  Milan ran along all the hay bales for a while then decided jumping was more fun.

 Eden's favorite part was playing catch with the pumpkins.  Daddy is always game for game of rolling pumpkins so they hung out here for a while!

Such a great family day!  (We even snuck in a little bit of shopping since we were in Fort Collins.)

Favorite Toy

Eden's favorite toy isn't even a toy......she LOVES to play on totes.  More specifically, she cannot get enough of these under-the-bed totes. 

She likes to climb on them, sit on them, and push them around the house.

Sometimes Milan gets in on the action.  They did this all by themselves and we didn't even notice until we heard Milan's muffled voice.  Afterwards we had a little chat about air supply.

Apparently, Dave can get them going pretty fast since Milan felt the need for a windshield.....

Oh yeah, Eden learned to pull up on October 3rd in this very spot.  She is now getting brave and trying to stand on her own for a couple of seconds at a time.  I'm not sure I'm crazy about her new higher vantage point.....she seems to like it though :)

Pictures

Yesterday evening, I decided that it was time for more pictures of the girls so I cuted up the girlies, drug my husband away from his homework, loaded up the kid's toy box for a seat, headed to an alley downtown,  and bribed the kids with Smarties while I took pictures for 10 minutes until the last traces of daylight were gone.......  I LOVE having new pictures of my girls! 

Sprinkler Day

Today was beautiful so we busted out the sprinkler and these two little girls had a blast!  We certainly approve of mid 80s at the end of September!
