Chase and Max

MONDAYS

When Daddy left for work, Baby Max, Chase and I got down to work cooking.

We made kale chips and sweet potato fries.

We made beets for pasta sauce and potato leek soup (cause we enjoyed some at Kristen & Chicken's house last night).

And, we worked on squash and other fillings for papusas. Overall, it was a very good Monday!

The Sundial

The light was beautiful by the sundial for a little photo session. Too bad the boys didn't cooperate more - Chase has his terrible fake camera smile and Max was more interested in eating leaves.

We woke this morning (at 4:45 due to daylights savings) to a beautiful fall day. We decided to lay low and walk around our 'hood cause we love it so much. First, we circled the South Cove area; then, we walked through Oakledge and stopped at the playground-with-a-view.

Auntie Sara

It was so, so fun to see Auntie Sara. She had a whole day home with Max and he quickly learned how much he loved her.

Chasey already loved Sara from previous visits!

Pumpkin Carving

Sammy and her parents came over to help carve Jack o Lanterns. We were doing well until we realized that Baby Max's face was awfully close to Dave's knife.

For those of you who need further convincing, that is Baby Max in the foreground.....crawling!

And, on a ride for his life!

(Hey Uncle Jon - if you are reading this, come visit us!)

Hikin'

We strapped on the kids for another weekend hike, this time to the Intervale in our old 'hood.

And....another token picture of poor Baby Max.

Right before I started taping the video above, Chase said, "Mommy, Daddy - I made up a song" (a phrase we hear a lot). Next thing we know, he is singing about poop bags.
Another recent cute (sort of) quote:
Chase: "Mommy, I'm not poking Baby Max's eye."
Me: "You're not?! That's good!"
Chase: "Maybe just a little bit."

Flatbread Pizza Party

Our friends have a flatbread oven in their backyard and have an annual flatbread making party. This year was the first one that we attended. It was so much fun! But, the highlight was the leaves, not the pizza.
