I'm not even going to try to make excuses for not updating our blog more frequently. I just need to do it. We're not really into baby books or even completing photo albums so we are counting on this blog to be a big part of tracking Evan and Alice's childhoods. So no more excuses. I just need to do it.
We've been enjoying fall so far. I love this weather so it's easy for me to do. Lots of outside time, Packers on Sunday, Gophers and Huskers on Saturday, although since canceling cable our viewing has decreased, and baking fall goodies. I've made applesauce, apple muffins, apple cake. You get the idea.
Evan continues to be hilarious. One night while we were playing with Alice on the floor, she was fussing because I was making her do tummy time and she was squawking quite a bit. I said something like, "you're telling me how it is aren't you Alice?" and Evan quickly chimed in with, "yeah, and it's not good." Empathy for his sister. Too sweet.
Here are some shots of what we've been up to.
 |
| A picnic and trip to the big park at Lake Harriet. I think that hole was there when we arrived at the park, but Evan wanted to make it bigger. He had the right equipment:) |
 |
| Alice was less excited about the park that day. |
 |
| Alice geared up for Gopher football. |
 |
| Evan licking off the spatula while helping mommy make "kids cookies" - basically sugary bars with no eggs so licking the spatula isn't harmful. |
 |
| Alice has been tearing up her play mat. She kicks it down or pulls it down at least once a day. |
 |
| Alice on a not-so-happy day. Let's just say the pack was the only place she was quiet, although she doesn't look particularly happy in it. |
 |
| Evan working in his construction site. He needed water to make the dirt squishy. |
