The leaves are a changing....

Lil Tavie really enjoyed the sound the leaves made.
She got such a kick out of much fun it was to pick them up
and throw them at everyone else....thats Natavia.
I love fall...my favorite! Warm inside the home and cold outside.
Good food cooking, the smell of baked goods and yummy pumpkin spice.
The beginning of winter coats and warm pajamas. Snuggling with family and drinking some hot chocolate or tea.
I am so very grateful I have my family to share it with.

His face says it all.
Clearly ultimate satisfaction from being outside,
picking leaves, running around, throwing leaves, and then having the a slight drizzle of rain come down on his lil face made Ro one happy lil boy.
Priceless!

Genavieve was intrigued by it all. Though she has seen it before, she, as well as the others, reacted to the fall leaves and the weather as if they were seeing it for the very first time.
A very very hairy caterpillar that the kids wanted to take home....
but that was a def NO. So we took pictures of it for our memory. They loved how long the hair was. Their laughter echoed in the trees.


Maya and Genavieve with Alyssa and Haily, our neighborhood friends.
They love hanging around each other.

The trunks of these trees are so huge,
Magus thought he would give them a bear hug. :)

Always lovin them...

Tavie loves to look at flash cards. She will point out everything.
Right here she is explaining everything to Maya..it was so adorable.
Happily sharing the Halloween candy.
The boys heard the commotion and they had to get in on the fun!
I was cleaning and found the girls sitting in the kitchen quietly sharing some Halloween candy. Maya was really into it. Then they started laughing so hard...it seemed that everything was funny to them. They has a serious case of candy overload!
The Best Neferius in the whole wide world!!!
In his stance...
Tavie said she was getting ready to go to the beach...she was serious too. :)

Yemaya Calesia is 10 months...time flys when your having fun!

She is just so beautiful, and so happy. Loves to learn and is discovering how to walk fast and turn around. She loves to wave, shake her head "no-no-no" and loves watching birds. She also loves spiders, and watching the wind blow the leaves on the trees. So amazing she is.
She has 3 teeth and she is getting 2 more. She loves apples!!!
And she loves her sister Tavie (and the others too) :)
She loves her blanket. Nani gave her a new blanket. Each circle is the color of her brothers and sisters blankets. Magus has brown. Ro has blue. Genavieve has pink. Tavie has off white, and Mommy and Daddy have green. She is just too cute for words. She is a keeper :)

A fun night...that has to end.

Every year we trick-or-treat with our friend, Estella. Her Auntie Kirsten puts on the coolest Halloween display at her house! She was a Monarch Butterfly, but in the midst of the fun, her wings fell off. Estella and Magus, and the rest of the tribe have so much fun together!

The Heavy Pumpkin...Magus and Tavie

Here is a really big pumpkin that Tavie wanted so bad...but it was too heavy to pick up. (we have a "if you can't carry it, you can't take it home" rule)
So she tried to con Magus into picking it up for her, and she got him involved.

They both were working on something to get this pumpkin off the ground...
Magus decided to tell her it was really heavy,
and maybe both of them could do it...

So they tried and tried...
But this is what she ended up with. I have to say watching them and hearing the conversation between the two of them was so beautiful. They were really trying to figure something out...even suggesting putting it in the stroller with mommy. They were so cute and I love the brother sister teamwork!

The Great Pumpkin Patch

The tribe were completely fascinated by these sunflowers. They were so tall and so big and bright. Genavieve found one on the ground and was begging to take it home...until she got to see some chickens and pumpkins. :)
The famous sunflower.
Ro and his perfect pumpkin...
Maya's first pumpkin experience....she loved it....until she fell on the ground.
Magus to the rescue to help his lil sister. Now she is happy again.
Magus' perfect pumpkin....

On our pumpkin adventure...the rule is, you can only take it home if you can carry it. We searched high and low, but they were all too heavy. So we had to find a secret spot where they had some lil pumpkins perfect for the tribe.
