November

They love to color!!

Playing in the tunnels with Noah

Oh yeah...too cool!

Playing dress-up...both girls definitely love the pink princess attire!

Brianna's back as Abigail's bathtime masterpiece

Is this how the tiara goes?!

Turned around and saw this...little stinker climbed up and crawled halfway across the table!

Abigail feeding her doggie in the car :)

Hanging out with Papa after naps.  Thanks goodness Nanny and Papa live so close, we had to emergently have our furnace replaced and it would have been a very cold stay at home if we had had to stay without heat!!  So, we spent the weekend at my parents' instead!

Noah and Abigail supervising the pizza cutting!

Sharing a swing at the park!


If your chair is on the floor, why not just eat there?!

Playing outside in the garage...they can run around and play and we don't freeze!

After-dinner dancing!! 

Leaf raking and jumping!

Watching football with Daddy...the daddy recliner lives on!

Halloween

Abigail the Baker

Her pumpkin that she decorated at the preschool party

Heading to a Halloween open house...the first of 3 times they got to dress up!


Our cupcake and the baker :)


On Halloween day, we took Abigail to Disney Frozen on Ice with Clara and her parents...what a fun time it was to be just with Abigail.  And she LOVED it!! 
Our Elsa's dancing pre-show

At the show!

She was waving to the skaters.

All ready for trick or treating!





Leaving Lisa's house to do a little trick or treating...this kid was ready for some candy!

Brianna and Daddy

Hitching a ride with Nanny...the best way to go!

Abigail at her post waiting for the doorbell to ring...she even pulled up her little chair to sit and wait.  I think she liked handing out candy just as much or more than getting it! 


The last 4 Halloweens!!

October


Zoo trip with our besties!!
Clara, Abigail, and Rowan

On the carousel...a must everytime we are at the zoo!





The crew (minus Rowan, who was not having any pictures at this point!)...Cailyn, Brianna, Abigail, and Clara

The babies...Cailyn and Brianna


Snack time at Nanny's!

Abigail was singing and directing...Brianna was chillin' with the bronze version of Abigail...

And now with Noah

I babysit Noah on Wednesdays...so while the weather was still kind of decent (notice all the blankets though!), we would head out for a walk while Abigail was in preschool.


Noah and Brianna goofing off in the tent!

Abigail loves to color and draw more than anyone I know...at least twice a day she is sitting at one of the tables coloring!

Brianna sharing her snack with Gram while we visited!

And now it's Gramp's turn!!

Coloring at the table...sharing a chair :) 



Park time...because who doesn't wear monkey ears to the park?!

Fun in the corn kernels at the pumpkin patch in New Plymouth...it was so warm that day for mid-October (notice the short sleeves and the jeans were too hot by the time we left!)

In the pumpkin cart!

Abigail getting her face painted 

Abigail helping make fresh apple cider

Brianna LOVED the white pumpkins!!


Abigail's first time writing her name by herself (at the top of the card, letters a little out of order!) on Gramp's birthday card

Playing the birthday bear with Gram for Gramp's birthday...that bear's been playing for Poole family birthdays for over 30 years!

Gramp and Brianna

Gramp and his great-grandkids...Happy Birthday!!

Gramp and Papa encouraging Brianna to swipe her finger through the chocolate frosting!!

Our very own Stevie Wonder...hahaha!!


Picking apples at Aunt Noreen and Uncle Ken's orchard!


And plums :)

Our loot and the girls in the apple wagon!


Coloring after naptime!

The babies having fun with the stickers

Bathing beauties!

Our canning surplus...we are ready for winter...at least with tomatoes and applesauce :)

Post flu-shot ice cream reward!

Nothing better than a sleeping baby!!
