At the park

This morning we met up with Mary and Lizzy at Holland Park in Fishers.  The kids had a fun time on the big playground and Mary showed Declan a new way to swing:) 

Lizzy, Declan and Mary:)

Firetrucks!

 If you don't know, Declan LOVES firetrucks!  So on Sunday morning we met up with Uncle Jon and he took Declan on a firetruck ride!  Declan got to go up on top of the trucks and inside the equipment truck (where we got to see Uncle Jon's helmet) before we went for our ride.  Uncle Jon even put the lights and sirens on:)  Declan didn't have to much to say during all this, he was just soaking it all in, but on the way home he was so excited to talk about it!  Uncle Jon also gave Declan a chocolate donut:) 

pumpkins, a guitar and a fox hat

 Saturday night we went next door to Aunt Tam's for some pizza and pumpkin decorating!  Declan didn't like the inside of the pumpkin and wouldn't touch it.."I don't like", he said!  So he and Delaney colored theirs with markers.  Some of Jake's "girlfriends" from school stopped over and carved some too (Declan loved having all of the girls attention!).  Oh, and Declan didn't eat any pizza, he had a Clif Bar instead (yep, he's my son!).

This awesome fox hat is Pop pop's (given to him by his friend Coz in Canada) and when Declan found it he put it on and loved it!  Totally cracks me up:)  He also loved Jake's Guitar Hero guitar!  Guess we don't need  to buy a Halloween costume when he can be foxy guitar player!! 

Homecoming

 This past Friday the little guys and I headed up to Wawasee and went to the WHS football game, it happened to be homecoming, which made me feel really old because my senior year homecoming was 13 years ago!  It was a chilly night, but Declan had fun eating M & M's, going into the locker room with Aunt Tam, coloring with Delaney and hanging with Jake.  He and Pop pop watched some of the game too:)  Conall and I stayed warm in the Moby!  Wawasee ended up beating Warsaw, way to go Warriors!

CDO

For that past couple of weeks Conall has been enjoying a new view in bebepod chair:)  We think he likes it, don't you?

Oh Declan...

this is too much!  I was getting ready the other morning and all was good, Conall was sitting in his boppy chair smiling and Declan was playing in his room, so I thought...as I walked down the hallway to check on him, this is what I found!

Our determined little guy brought a chair in from his room to Conall's room so that he could get in his crib!  I explained to him that as crafty as this was it was not safe, so he shouldn't do it again:)

Happy Birthaday Dada!

 Friday was BC's birthday (the big 3-2) and to celebrate we went to the Notre Dame football game!  He had bought the boys ND shirts, which I let them wear even though they don't have Purdue shirts:)  We got up to South Bend early so we could walk around and watch the team walk through campus.  Of course we had to get our family picture in front of Touch Down Jesus too!  BC was a champ with Declan on his shoulders most of the time and Conall hung out with me in the Moby:)  We had great seats and the boys were so well behaved the whole time.  Declan even cheered for them..."Gooo Irish, Beat Cardinal"!  Declan loved when the band came out, the tubas were his favorite.  The final score was a bummer, but we had an awesome time.  Happy birthday dada, we love you!
