Tucker's "Sweetheart"
The kids got sick twice in October and November so far.
Ry currently has the Hand Foot and Mouth virus. Which sucks. Her whole little mouth and throat are full of blisters. Which as of today right before lunch, it appears the germs have now been shared and Tucker has caught the virus.
This past Saturday, we went to the West vs. North alumni football game. It was surprisingly fun and it was great to see old friends! Saturday afternoon/evening we thought Ry was just coming down with a cold. Twenty minutes into the game, Rylie conked out and slept thru loud cheering in the stands.
In October, the stomach bug hit our house and hit Tucker HARD. Ten solid days of vomit and diarrhea..sucks. After a horrible throw up session in the backseat of my suv, Tucker learned the cup trick and that poor cup never left his side until the bug was gone.
Best $4 game ever. Memory Game! He sets this game up and quietly plays it for hours alone.
Hand On afternoon. This girl is beyond in love with baby dolls.
Our neighbor gave us this little gal over the weekend. She still doesn't have a name besides "Bird" but she is beautiful..and super low maintenance so far!!
We went to Best Buy last weekend and it was so cold outside. I buckled Rylie up, jumped into the car to wait on the boys and turned around to her giggling. She discovered pockets. :)
In October, it was such beautiful weather. We enjoyed many many picnics on the porch!
This little man is a PRO at scooping up so Kilwin's ice cream at Hands On!!
Same Best Buy night. The Arden store sent us to the Tunnel Road store and Tucker decided on the way there that it was past his bedtime and he was going to sleep. He asked for daddy's "melon warmer" and pulled it all the way on. He was out in seconds!
Recently I took Tucker to Ingles alone. Just the two of us. This is very rare! I let him pick out one treat for behaving so well. He decided to buy some hot chocolate with colored marshmallows. And soon found out how yummy hot chocolate is!
Rylie's second Halloween costume. Punk rocker baby.
Round one of the sick bug. Rylie:0 Bug:1.
Rylie's first Halloween costume. She was super unamused the first time I put it on her.
Out of order pictures. More baby time at Hands On.

A candy treasure hunt... Halted many times for Rylie as she was too tempted by the candy in her bag to keep looking.
My little hero!!
We went to the Asheville Nature Center a few weeks ago with my mom. The kids had a blast! (Ok, mom and Bapa did too!)
My mom was getting ready to put her into the bath tub a few weeks ago after Sunday dinner. I undressed her and sent her in to Bapa, she wanted to sit on the potty. Since then, she has pooped in the potty one time but never anything else. She insists on sitting on the potty and trying several times every day though, so maybe potty training isn't too far off...
snuggling her baby on the front swing :)
Adorable little girl.
Rice table!!
Halloween night. He was SO READY to go trick-or-treating!
Collecting candy at the candy treasure hunt!

I heard the kids go into the bathroom and shut the door. A few minutes and a lot of giggling later, I peeked in at them. Tucker had gotten both their tooth brushes ready and they were both brushing their teeth. Between giggling and brushing, he was giving Rylie complete instructions on how to properly brush her teeth. He must have been listening all those times I told him! Love how he is smiling down at her and she's looking up at him
She crawled up on his lap and they snuggled like this for long time. Best big brother ever? I think so!!
It's been such a busy last couple of months! Hopefully by Thanksgiving the kids will be feeling better and all the sick bugs will be out of our house! We're ready for the holidays :-)
