Random Pictures

Hearts is still played every Sunday.

Kenzie's been watching the Grinch a lot.

Coleman decided to start collecting candy.

Since soccer games aren't happening, Coleman's coach scheduled some Saturday practices where they just scrimmage the whole time. It's fun to watch Coleman play! He's more aggressive this year and even scored a couple goals!

One day I was going to take a bath. Then I noticed the water was brownish. Luckily it went away by the next day.

I've been able to park near the fence and Jackson's and Kenzie's practices so I can watch them while staying in my warm car.

Kenzie and Coleman made some bunnies for science.

Kenzie spent a weekend at the Crabtree's. Doug showed her (and the other kids) a video he took of Snickers while she was away.

We played code names! (and ate yummy cookies!)

Doug and the kids have been running in the morning. I also went once. Jordan has gone every day he could. Coleman goes a lot. Kenzie sometimes. And Jackson once. He went the same day I did.

It was raining so hard at Kenzie's practice.

Ashlee gave us one of her bowls that's the same as our muddy buddy bowls so Kenzie can make muddy buddies too.

Coleman's Saturday scrimmage. They have to wear masks at practice now. Before they didn't have to wear masks, but were supposed to stay in pods. Now they don't have to stay in pods, but they have to wear masks. Doug came to this scrimmage too.

Kenzie facetimed Nati.

I accidentally broke the potato bowl this summer. I found a new giant one 
(the white one) that's actually a cake holder lid. It was a little to big, but better than nothing. Then my mom found a yellow one at her Arizona house and brought it back. It's nice to have a good, yellow, potato bowl again.

Kenzie and Coleman dissected owl pellots.

They thought it was gross!:)

Snickers

Kenzie still loves having a bunny!
She jumps up here when it's feeding time.

The Crabtrees came over one Sunday to see her. We decided to let her run around the middle floor without the cage. But we found that she didn't really go far because she doesn't like going on the hard floor. Probably because she slips around so much. So now we just leave a blanket or the tarp and don't use the cage. She usually doesn't go off the blanket much.

Happy bunny

We've started feeding her greens. We started with parsley and she loved it.  But once we introduced cilantro to her, she doesn't want parsley as much because she really loves cilantro. She also likes romaine lettuce and cucumber. We've been trying to train her to come to us when we call her using the green foods.

We let her come in my and Doug's room. She loves it under our bed.

She also loves running the hallways upstairs. She learned how to get out of Kenzie's room even when we blocked the doorway. We didn't want to close the door since we were worried that everyone would barge into Kenzie's room and hit the bunny accidentally with the door. Everyone is used to having the bunny now so we can just close the door and they remember to be careful when opening the door. Plus she doesn't hang out by the door that much.

Doug made her a ramp. He was hoping she would run up it and jump off the other side. She never went up it though.

She learned to jump on the couches. Then she started peeing on our brown one so she's been banished from the basement for now. 

She sometimes likes to sit on the windowsill. 

She learned to go up and down the stairs. She doesn't do it too much. But sometimes she goes upstairs from the middle floor. A couple nights ago Kenzie went to check on her in the middle floor and couldn't find her. Snickers had gone up the stairs and into Jackson's room. Now we try to make sure the rooms are closed if she's out.

Halloween!

We had a great Halloween. We went to the Wilson's house. The Wilsons and Rabans put candy all over the yard. Every family who went donated about 30 pieces of candy per child. Then we went over with flashlights when it was dark and found the candy.

Harry Potter

Addison from Zombies.


Gandolf


Dr. Coyle

I stayed with Cam. We went along a narrow strip next to the driveway. No one else looked there most of the time so she found so much candy!

Coleman

Kenzie and her friends, Jenna and Phoenix

Kenzie, Coleman, Cam

The kids trading their candy. Soon we moved them off this deck because we weren't sure it would really hold their weight.

Most of the kids. The families that were there were: the Wilsons, Rabans, Ramsays, Follets, Renos, Binghams, Crowders, and us.

Coleman told everyone they could take a candy.

Blake, Levin, Tate, Coleman, Wyatt, Atlas

Jackson, Mason, Cole, Logan, Jordan

Cam and Kenzie

Doug let us stop at one house on the way home to trick or treat. Coleman and I wanted to stop at more, but Doug would only let us if the house had a lot of decorations.

Jordan traded for Reese's.

Cam had the most candy!




Coleman floating away with his suckers (that looked like balloons) :).
