End of October and 1 month with Lenny

On Halloween day, my parents flew out and Spencer's parents flew into town. They stayed for a week and it was so nice to have them. They helped out so much and cooked dinners, read books and played lots of games with the girls and took them out and about. It was so nice to have all the help! The girls got to open a few presents that Grandma Ellingson had brought and they loved seeing each day what they got to open. She had games and little things for them to do which kept them busy. It was really thoughtful of her! On Halloween night we walked up Franklin Ave and stopped at all the shops and stores to trick-or-treat. The girls got so much candy and had a lot of fun!

I am loving Charley's art work these days. This says I love you. Gramma, Bart. She is sounding out words so well now and drawing with lots of body parts. I love it!! 

I started my month of mom preschool and it was so fun! I had the letters I, J, K, L and each week I would focus on just one letter. Here are the girls doing a math activity for I is for ice cream. These girls are so sweet and cute together. It's been a lot of fun and super low-key yet educational. 

Spencer flew to Idaho for a weekend and went duck hunting with some friends. It was my first time with all three girls alone and it wasn't too bad! We definitely missed Spencer but I am so glad he was able to go hunting and spend some time with his friends. I am sure he enjoyed the break as well. 

Our very best friends who moved to Colorado came to Brooklyn to visit! They are thinking of moving back (yay!!!) and we had dinner one night with them and Jennifer took the girls to the Children's Museum. It was so good to see their family and catch up. I have missed them so much! 

This picture cracks me up! We took the girls to a friends house one day and she watched them for a few hours. When Spencer went to pick them up this is how he found them. They were watching a show with these funny glasses on eating from a big bowl of goldfish. Bergen has just one shoe on and they couldn't be more happier! :) 

Love my little stomach sleeper. She sleeps so much better on her tummy!
