The Kitchen Family

OCT phone pics
& boy update 

Our October 1st tradition, halloween decor up (including our paper bats) and we bought our pumpkins!

 My favorite grocery shopping buddy.

He is such an easy sidekick, he will go to as many stores with me as I make him. Such a sweetie.

 Love when Brend smiles and says "It's just me and you mama!".

 We got fancy for our date to Storytime at the library.

We go most Tuesday mornings.

 Flowers from my visiting teacher and an amazing soccer ball cake made by Melissa Cox, my home teachers wife.

I was one lucky birthday girl.

 My birthday bike from Brocky.

My DREAM bike!

I love it! It's so fun to ride around with the boys.

 Cohen - Kindergarten

My sweet handsome boy looks more like he's 10.

So proud of him and how well he's doing in school.

Makes me so happy he loves it.

 Co is loving Music most and I would say Art class second, next to recess of course. He brought home this fish painting that his teacher made into stickers. :)

 These brothers get super excited after school when they have time to play and be together. This week they made this box into their personal rocket ship, worked on cutting and coloring for about an hour, then ate sugar cookies in it. 

 OCTOBER is great so far.

Lots of good things happening. Our sweet baby boy #3 is growing well and very healthy. So lucky to have almost three healthy boys. Brock has been in Kentucky for 2 weeks, 2 more to go. He's doing well. Lonely, ready to be done, but good.

Boys quotes and things from the past month:

- Co and Brend conversations about metal and plastic and how they need to be careful so they don't break... That's made of metal, it won't break. Brend said "yeah I'm made of metal so I won't break too". Co said no you're not made of metal, you're made of....mom what's Brend made of?"

- Co said Brend these are nipples, pointing to his nipples, then Brend finds his and says these are mine! Co then says Mom how do I do a chest dance like daddy does? (Moves his pecs and make them dance)

- Brend is still word police. Hate is not a good word! Don't day stupid! He doesn't miss a beat, even when my hair clients use the word STUPID or HATE. Silly boy. Love him.

- Brend crying in Kung fu panda when Po's mom leaves him as a baby for his safety. He snuggled me for a good 15 mins feeling sad. Sweet boy... it's amazing to me how early they are sensitive and realize things that I just think shouldn't phase them.
