Patio in Progress

Dan is working on our backyard patio expansion. It will be flagstone clear around to the side yard. Eventually I will have a covered swing and shed :)

Anyway, this day - Saturday, October 27 - Dan had an Ethan Helper ;)

They worked on hauling the sand for the flagstone base and putting in the edging stones.

Ethan was a hard worker.

Come on, Ethan... hurry up and fill that wheelbarrow! ;)

Krystin 2 Years Old

I tried getting Krystin's 2 year pictures taken using my camera at a friend's scenic yard. They turned out cute - just not the official "head & shoulders" shot. ;) (more like the "back, side, top of the head as Krystin explores" shots!)

Saturday Morning - 10/20/07

I (Britt) was the one to get up with the kids this Saturday. We ended up making cinnamon coffee cake for a late breakfast. One of my treats on the weekends is taking the time to make myself REAL coffee (not instant). Ethan loves to push the start button on the coffee pot and watch it brew.

While the coffee cake was baking and the coffee brewing, Kaylin and I vacuumed the living room.....

.... Krystin played with the springy pumpkin (from Gpa and Gma Collingwood a couple Halloweens ago)

... and did I mention Ethan watched the WHOLE pot of coffee brew?!

Krystin's getting to be a big girl now. If the pogo ball has lost enough air and she sits just right - she can bounce on it.
She also is starting to carry over her own plate at meal times (most times with help from Mom or Dad) :)
This Saturday I decided it was time to re-set up the GeoTrax again. It kept the kids busy for a good 3-4 days. :)
During afternoon rest, Dad and Ethan played some Castle
