November FUN

We are 3 months into the addition project leaving us with no family room or bathroom on the first floor.  Our house is a mess, there is always a random collection of men working, TONS of noise and dirt, and with really no end in sight.  Somehow we are making it with very little discomfort other than the mess and dirt and we managed another fairly normal month.


Caroline uses the kitchen just like her sisters....that bucket has always been a favorite place to stand. 


We love living so close to the Children's museum and Caroline loves being able to play and keep up with her sisters there.


We celebrated Quinn's 4th birthday! 


Last IU football tailgate of the year...


Emmerson got to go to her first IU basketball game with Daddy.


I am not sure who was happier! 




She loves to "colors" yes, everything is plural. 


Dinner with our favorite priest.  The girls adore Father Michael and so do we! 


Our flamenco dancer





A little glimpse of how we are living...this is the wall at the top of our steps.


She is a regular at Lowes


Daddy loves to surprise the girls with flowers.


Even a sick baby needs boots and a bag


Audrey's class had a friendship lunch




Emmerson made Claire and her pet mouse matching jerseys out of a couple bags Uncle Matt sent them. 


This baby is so silly! 


This is what playdates look like...LOTS of girls!


Claire lost her first tooth!


Fun in the leaves is the best part of fall.

Thanksgiving

We headed to Evansville for Thanksgiving to see our cousins. 


4 little turkeys 




Our turkey masterpiece


We had lots of helpers in the kitchen 


The girls love their time with their big cousin Baylee


11 out of 13 grandkids all staying at one house = WILD! 










Audrey fell asleep sitting up after a full day of playing. 


Cousins sleepover success


The next day we went to a movie with the whole crew.

Basketball

Emmerson and Claire played basketball for the first time.  I am guessing it won't surprise anyone that basketball will likely not be their sport...but they tried it!  By tried I mean went to the practices (all 4) and refused to play a second in the games (all 4).

October FUN

October is always a busy month with fall and Halloween activities, IU football games, school, and just normal life but I was lucky enough to sneak to LA to spend time with the boys and watch their fall sports. 




Then it was back to the ladies...


Claire was so excited when I offered to take her out to lunch after driving on a field trip. 


These two play all day long! 




Flat Emma came to spend a few days with us.  We got to show her all around our town. 




Almost every night when we go to bed we find them like this.  We use to move them back to their own beds but we now leave them be.






Facetime with the boys is a favorite! 


We love the haunted house at the children's museum



We boo'd all our neighbors.  The girls love making spooky treats. 


She's really helpful in the kitchen...


As we were delivering the treats I realized Audrey had no pants on. 


She loves pizza and ice cream! 




Audrey leads a yoga class most evenings



Caroline can unpack a bag in less than a minute! 




Silly girls!
