October in December

It's been busy busy around the Pomeroy house.  I just sat down to go through the pics from Christmas and realized I had never even finished the ones from October.  

I was so glad I had taken these pics - because shortly after this we stopped the Chip n Dale portion of the bedtime/nap time routine.  Made me kinda sad to see- and it was only 2 months ago! Patton's bedtime routine evolved significantly all at his request.  It started when he was tiny- probably 1 1/2 that he started asking us to sing to him before bed.  Then after a weekend at my brother's when J didn't know the words to hickory dickory dock it turned into you tube videos of songs.  Because P came home from J's house saying he needed the elephant song.  Which led to 2 2 min videos of songs for bed.  That somehow snowballed into 2 5-7 min cartoons of Chip N Dale.  He would just crack up laughing and loved it.  So cute.  But the 15 min of videos in addition to the stories was just a little much for us twice a day and we finally got him off the videos. 

 Chris's dad celebrated his 80th birthday in October- we always go there for the weekend to celebrate!
 Paw Paw with the girls
 Sweet hugs
 This guy is a maniac on the trampoline- he's been bouncing on it since before he could walk.  He holds his own with the big kids out there. Its one of his favorite things to go do.
 We watched Eli one day- apparently I didn't take many pics other than this cute high five one.  They are becoming good buddies.  If history remains true we should only have about 2 more years of ridiculous fighting before they are BFFs.
 We had our 3rd Annual Pumpkin carving with the neighbors.  The kids enjoyed the snack table.
 All the parents hard at work

 Berk found out another kindergarten girl lives in the neighborhood- they enjoy having play-dates.
 Tattoo time.  The swarm of kids around Rachel and Lashawn had to be documented. I slowly backed myself away from that situation.
 I wonder what P and Lucy are talking about? They are SO cute together.
 Berk and her buddies decided to try to plant some pumpkin seeds.  We'll see.


 For Halloween Elliott was Hermione from Harry Potter


 Patton and Berk were Jake and Izzy from Jake and the Never land Pirates
 this is Berk's favorite pose
 All the neighborhood kids at the potluck before trick or treating
 P hit his first house and was a little timid at first


 Elliott ran like this almost the whole night
 I couldn't find the Halloween buckets- so P made do with Berkley's bucket
 He wasn't even scared
 Love them- E was probably 3 houses away
