We started off the month with a big flood hitting charleston and rain upon rain upon rain for days. This is how high our backyard pond got...so as you can see we were very blessed!
We did have some water damage on the ceiling in the great room but that was actually a blessing as well because it allowed us to get it fixed before we had everything painted.
We had to do some indoor activities since we were trapped inside for so long. B really likes painting, drawing, etc. right now.
Todd and I celebrated our 5th anniversary! We had plans originally to go out of town for the weekend but with Rainageddon going on we decided to stay closer to home.
We went out for dinner at Langdon's and it was delish!!
We have officially entered the train phase...trains, cars, trucks, etc are a big thing around here these days!
I threw this in because I felt like it was a good picture to sum up what we have been dealing with around here...the blue stripes are from where we removed the wallpaper and the red is pretty self explanatory.
He loves this "fire truck" song/video on Youtube...
Playing outside
Running around the park with his friend Stafford
Fav place=B&N train table, except I think we may have to quit going because someone pitches an embarrassing little fit when its time to leave!
My friend Tiggz was in town with her family for a few days so they came over and had a sleepover one night. Brooks had so much fun playing with Colt!
And Colt was very sweet with helping us teach Brooks to share. We are working really hard on that since we have started school and seem to be going through a bit of a "mine" phase. Colt was very patient and understanding...you can tell he has had big brother practice!
These were the kiddos at breakfast one morning. That's Gray in the middle--she is the cutest! As you can see we have our ever present train and aren't too happy about the photo shoot--pretty much sums this month up nicely ;)
One day we were heading outside and B tumbled head over heels down our brick steps!! It was awful...and he had these major marks on his face for at least 2 weeks, including class picture day at school of course. Poor kid.
More fun days at the park!
We went to the pumpkin patch and he loved it. He is actually kind of obsessed with "pump pumps" and loves all his pumpkin and Halloween books. We (once again) had a hard time with the photo shoot but Gram ended up snapping some good ones on the go!
He pretty much wanted to sit and drive this old tractor that they had the whole time.
After the patch we went to Jacks Cosmic Dogs for more driving!
This is one of his favorite books right now, Pete the Cat and the five little pumpkins...I was trying to get a video of how he will sing the whole thing. Excuse the Weezer in the background?!
Here is B helping me choose a paint color for the red room...
Not sure if you can tell but he is watching the trash trucks and the big machine that comes to pick up all the leaves.
Still love the C.C.
We took a road trip up to Granny and Poppy's house because ours was being painted and we had to get away from the fumes. I was really nervous about driving so far with him by myself (6 hours) but he did great! We left after school one day so he took a good long nap and then we stopped for a snack and he played with his trains for awhile. He got a little fussy the last hour but thats when I busted out the iPad and we were all good the rest of the way. He did great on the way home too!
He had so much fun running around in the yard and playing with Chase.
Chase was also very patient and helped us work on more "sharing".
Brooks had his first DipDog experience!
He loved Granny and "pop pop". When he woke up in the morning there he would always say, "Where Pop Pop go?"
This photo does not do justice to the gorgeous leaves and mountains I got to see on the drive! It was a great trip and I'm glad we were able to get up there before the holidays.
