Mountain Goats, Community Apple, and more.

Warning: These are low quality photos from my phone...
 Vera is CONSTANTLY climbing on EVERYTHING! She is our little Mountain Goat.
 She is on and into everything...chairs, stools, tables, sinks...
 And she is pretty proud of it too.
 This Handsome boy was hunting the bad guys all day in his cute get-up :)
 Luke and I got to go out on a date thanks to his school for having free kids care once in awhile! We went to Gabby's for the best hamburgers in town, then Home Depot!
 I took the kids to see animals at Pets Mart...then Finley had a melt down in the bathroom because he is terrified of public toilets and their loud flushes...
 This little monkey stole my apple. And then her big brother stole it from her..hence the title "community apple."
 It's Fall Ya'll! So the weather changed overnight and has been in the 60's-70's all week! Finn has been loving riding his bike. This boy is so grown up. He is always asking questions to explain things...to which I rarely know the answer and feel so dumb. Wikipedia has become my friend as well as youtube. He absolutely loves school. And he likes to know the plan for the week..he always asks "where are we going tomorrow? what about after two dark times?" He prefers Target Icees over an Ice cream cone now...I had to bribe him with a trip to Target instead of Chick Fil A! He's coming to my dark side ;)
 We have been enjoying it with bike rides, walks and park/zoo trips.  This little boy is Rogan.  His mom is in Luke's class and the only other Mormon in the school! I watch him a 1-2 days a week and try to help them out since they are in the same boat as us!
 Vera & I have been getting a lot of bonding time in since Finn is in school T/TH.
Here she is helping me clean up the weeds in the yard...looking like a little hobo.  Just this week she has changed so much.  She now says "Why?" when I tell her to do something! and when I call her name she yells back "What?"...is she serious! she isn't even 2! She still babbles and always ends in a question-like tone...she was doing this on the car ride to church and I said Really?? and she responded "yay!"  Other words: drink, yuck, belly button, eyes, nose, ears, teeth, toes, head.  She is always on a mission and walks proudly around the house getting in to things.  She is definitely a handful.

Finley's outfit is so cute. And please always make Vera wear a beanie. Sorry, I still think she looks like me :) Fin is so smart!
