I was going to host Thanksgiving at our house, then life happened and we last minute went to Grammy & Papa's house. It was so much easier that way. What was I thinking with two little babies??? We had fun dressing them up in cute Thanksgiving outfits and taking their pictures. This was when they still sat still enough for me to get good pictures of them.
Pumpkin carving & trick or treating is so much fun. We like to do ALL of the traditional holiday events with our kiddos. This includes, pumpkin carving, trick or treating and festivals. In 2019 we had lots of fun things to attend. Having a large family is so much fun, there's always enough people that it feels like we are having a party! One of the festivals we went to was sooo crowded, it would never happen this year. Covid wouldn't allow it lol. ( No pictures because it was insane) We were shoulder to shoulder part of the time. I do not like big gatherings like that, so I was ready to leave as soon as we got there. The kids had a good time though, so we stayed a while and let them have fun.
We had lots of random activities in the Fall of 2019. We love the cooler weather, football season and the changing colors of the leaves here in Colorado. I enjoy dressing my littles up in cozy clothes and taking pictures. What is better than that?? We went on our annual fall hike and we also visited a local pumpkin patch where the kids had a blast. I love making memories with my kids. My hope is that they grow up remembering the fun we had and our traditions fondly.
With two babies in the house we had cuteness all over the place. While it is hard to keep up with two littles, they are worth it. And being a large family with kids of all ages I have some great helpers. We moved from traditional homeschooling last year to online public school. My bigger ones are smarter than me now and with the two little ones it became necessary for their education and my sanity. We absolutely love it. The kids have teachers who can help them on the phone or in a live lesson room when its something I cannot help them with. I am considered their learning coach; so I still help them how I can, check their work and log attendance. As well as keep in contact with their home room teachers. They all love it too. They have virtually met some friends. Last year they had field trip options, this year not.so.much. Henry started Kindergarten last year and they sent us all his books, art supplies and science things we would need for the whole year. It was perfect and he even learned to read!! I still have my kiddos home with me and we stay on schedule and do our thing. Its been great. Here are some pictures of the babies from the start of school last year. I know I am biased but they are pretty cute!
