Homeschool

we're loving homeschool

Arkansas Trip

we were losing her like a feral animal on the way back. she peed herself and then we almost missed our flight and it was crazy

so this is her wearing cooper's basketball shorts because she peed her pants. we lost track of time and we were just chillin in the airport and suddenly hear them calling our names because they're about to take off so we ran through the airport with everyone staring because she was pee soaked and the the plan wasto change her after the seat belt went off so ppl werent waiting on us but the flight attendanct insisted so i said ok we can change her pants fast and then mckinley was trying to help and stared pulling down her paints and the flight attendant says " umm maam she's exposing herself" lol so we went to the bathroom do it and couldnt evern shut the door with both of us in to change her pants and she kept closing the door as if this time it will finally change how tiny this bathroom is lol and then when we got home mckinley just was overly tired and wanting freedom and went wild in the airport and i had to wrestle her into the stroller while she screamed and kicked and the suitcases fell over and i was swearing under my breath and this lady just stood there like so close just leaning against the wall shamelessly staring at this whole thing with a blank expression ..... lol so that was weird and embarrassing and kindof maddening

With Friends

they let us come do a practice run first and see it all and talk about what will happen and then a couple weeks later they both did AMAZING 🤩 😻

fall is beautiful but aep sucks

Arcade

cooper misses dallin so painfully during aep that he will just stay in the office quietly playing so that he can at least be near his dad even if they're not interacting. He sleeps in there and everything. kind of heartbreaking and kindof funny and cute

we love these restaurants

pretty park in highland

halloween!

she first walked up to the house and offered them candy, then she gave one and took one, then she said happy halloween instead of the trick or treat line, but after a few houses she totally had it down adn could have gone all night but cooper wanted to be done and he was more into the bouce houses ppl put out on the lawn in our neighborhood. and he would say trick or treat and then they'd offer him candy and he'd say no thank you lol

he said he wanted to be spiderman for a month leading up to halloween but hte day of he switched to winnie the pooh and a pumpkin

we had fun eating dinner outside and then painting pumpkins the day before

She was wearing her halloween costume for about a month straight before halloween
