Hiatus

     Hey everyone. I've been super busy lately, and writing a blog post has just been seeming like one extra thing to add to the pile, so... I'm going to take a hiatus, for I don't know how long. I will try to continue to post pictures on Facebook occasionally, but yeah. Sorry, my sanity and my kids well-being take priority. ;)
     As a farewell post, here's a bunch of pictures from this month. (And when I say a bunch, I really mean it.)

Look Mama! I found the stairs, I know they go up, how do I work them.

(at the zoo) Hmm, this stroller idea is pretty great, I think I like this.

Also at the zoo, hard to avoid taking pictures of Jacob, he just makes the best faces.

What is this I'm eating? and why are you taking a picture? (Still trying to get Timothy started eating solid foods, but we're having issues because of chair situations)

Mom, I'm tired. Why am I here? (I brought Timothy with me when I went out to Port Townsend for the evening to celebrate my friend's book release. But while he was fabulous the whole time, he sure doesn't look impressed)

Hey, these stairs things again. If I straighten my legs it feels like I'm going up, maybe that's part of it. 

Jessica's birthday! 

She'd been begging for a bike for almost a year.

Yay! Mama found a recipe for cupcakes that actually doesn't have any added sugar, and it still tasted fabulous!

I didn't get a picture that showed how excited Jacob was, but he sure loved watching his cousin play the violin.

Mario

The Hulk

A dragon

All 3, ready for the party!

What could possibly be better than face paint?

And those cheeks! Oh those cheeks! They're just the best ever

I'm not sure how I feel about forehead painting

Pumpkin carving! I have a clearer picture, but it wasn't as expressive.

Jessica was very adamant about wanting a Spiderman pumpkin, but the patterns we had didn't fit. Nathaniel was WAY better than me, because he was willing to free-hand it. I would have said "Nope, sorry"

This is what we do while trying to get Jacob not to run across Jessica's portraits, have Mom take random pictures of him.

Grandma! I love my gifts!

Hey! I figured out these things! Look, I'm going up!

And even pulling myself to standing sometimes

And Jessica is 5, so here's her portrait
