Santa Claus is Coming to Town!

This christmas tree has really been through the ringer. We know have one third of the ornaments, and the lights are now hanging low. Poor tree is frequently visited by Rooster(Ilaina) and Chimp (Isaiah).

They Love Eachother

Well I'll have to keep these pictures as proof for when they are older and can't stand the site of eachother that they actually did love eachother.

Possible Christmas Card!

So Daryl's sister, Denice, came over after church today and thought it would be a great idea to take our picture in front of the Christmas tree. Such a great idea! I never think to take pictures so when other people do and I'm actually in it holding my children it is always appreciated.

Not Technically Winter!

Well I guess this shouldn't surprise anyone but in Minnesota it snows before we're ready to call it a summer, so here we are on the swingset after the snow is on the ground with the kids in their snowsuits.

Halloween Party at the Kimbles

Well we had our party that we look forward to all year long. Halloween! Costumes, pinatas, jack o lanterns, games, and family, you just can't ask for anything more. In fact this year we won the jack o lantern contest.

Daryl was Lucifer, Isaiah was Zorro, Ilaina was a witch, and I was a pink lady.

It really was a great time and after the party there was a party at Auntie Donna's house with Erica, Peyton, and Andrew. They watched a halloween movie, had a pillow fight and played with play dough.

Autumn with a Burnt Hand!

On Saturday I was busy finishing Ilaina's Halloween costume and I heard crying, my heart sank, it was a hurt cry. Laina had burnt her hand on the fireplace. Now she has a wrap on her hand so she doesn't break the blisters. Definitely not going to get a mother of the year award now. Her uncle Ryan calls it her giant Q Tip for her daddy's ears.

She is doing great now! She was crawling all around just 8 hours after it happened. Children are so resilient.

We have had so much fun outside this fall. The grass hasn't been growing so we have way more time for fun!

Halloweeny!

Well I have finally got around to decorating for Halloween. Isaiah was thrilled with all the ghost clings and jack o lanterns around the house, oh and I forgot to mention the spiders that are now in every room as well. Halloween always is exciting not just because we get to dress up and eat candy but it marks the beginning of the holidays in the Fish home. Decorations for Halloween, Fall, Christmas, then Easter. The house always seems a little bare without a seasoned decoration. Hot Apple Cider, Apple pies, Apple crisp, Apple tort, Apple Apple Apple. Wow I never realized I like Apple so much! Fall is great and I'm glad its here.
