September

This may be a picture over-load here, but I have some catching up to do.  It's going to be a lot more pictures of Jackson than of Clayton because I already posted most of the ones of Clayton on his birthday post a few weeks ago.  

So here we go:  September...

Pirates took over our house for a while...

The library does few weeks of story time and then a few weeks of "project time" where you go and do a little craft on your own.  I'd prefer story time all the time, but that's ok.  Here Jackson is coloring a picture of himself that was to go on a wall around a big map of the world.

 ...he does have eyes and a nose, they are just really light.

Story time with Daddy.  I'm not sure why there is a chair in the middle of the room...

Playing with slime

Jackson decided he was a cow and wore his Sunday socks on his hands to eat dinner.

"Mom, take my picture!" is a common thing to hear around here.

We were going to go to Daddy's work to have lunch with him.  Jackson took care of packing the picnic: carrots, ranch, and a jar of baby food.  I might have added a few things to the menu.

 And here's Daddy at work:

Playing and making letters on the driveway with squirt bottles

 I had this chunk of pool noodle left over from a wreath I made so we used it to make pictures by drawing on it with washable markers and then rolling it on the paper.  I think more ink got on Jackson's hands than the paper, but hey, it was washable.

 Look at that concentration!

Boys in a box

 I love to watch them have fun together!  Jackson takes such good care of his little brother and Clayton loves to watch and copy Jackson.

 "Look mom, I made a dress!" ...using a whole roll of paper towels.

Our Relief Society after the RS Broadcast... there really are a lot more younger folks too, but they weren't there that night.  It's been great to get to know these ladies.

I promise my kids wear clothes sometimes...

Jack was gone to Indiana for a week to be a fill-in for the HR Manager at a Kellogg's plant, then was home for a few days and then was gone again for five days to Utah for BYU recruiting and then visiting family.  I guess he felt a little guilty so he sent me these pretty flowers :)  He loves me.

Enjoying a beautiful day at the park

Enough pictures for ya?  I'll do a separate post of the children's museum we went to, but that just gives you a glimpse into our lives.  We're pretty exciting people, lemme tell ya.
