Street Cleaner Day!

Wednesdays are street cleaning days.
Not quite as good as garbage days, but we'll take it!

Pom pom organization.

Mom's friend and favorite blog (Pink and Green Mama) gave her this great idea.
I took to it like a champ.
Owen....well, he had different ideas.

Picking pumpkins in the snow!

I feel a bit over dressed.

This one has my name on it!

Come over here Owen... there's more mud this way.

Ahh, I'm out of control!

Little Kids Big Rigs

Last Sunday we went to this event at Hawkeye Downs. There were all kinds of trucks and diggers and busses, and tractors, and fire trucks and our favorite...GARBAGE trucks!!!
Ryal didn't like the sound of the horns, so he stayed close to Dad.
I on the other hand, mastered them all!

Hey! I liked the race car. Not everything scared me!

Then the coolest thing happened!
A helicopter landed!

Yeah, I'm good right here.

Off the Beaten Path.

This is my Great Great Uncle Jake's Nature Preserve.
Mom, Nana, Aunt Joan, and Cousin Gracie all participated in the 5th annual Off the Beaten Path race today. Ryal and I rode along in our stroller. It was great we would go up up up and then down down down. Nana placed first in her age group and Aunt Joan placed second!
Mom says next year there is NO way that Ryal and I are riding.
I say...what's a few hills?

Are we there yet Gracie?

All of the Krumm family members that participated.

Working and Playing

Ooooh, the big bucket is almost full!

Crunchy! Chruchy!

Owen, this is weird...

Toilet trainers and muscle men!

While we continue our quest for toilet domination, we have grown muscles...see?

Mom wishes we were actually able to wear the cute underoos. We are not quite that advanced yet. In fact Owen might move straight from diapers to depends at this rate. I however read my potty books and take notes. I tell Mom after I've gone, but haven't mastered the part of telling her before I go. But when I do go in the potty I get to have one m&m.
Owen gets stickers for trying. He would like to have one m&m, but Mom's tough!
Owen and I have noticed that there are fewer and fewer m&m's in the jar.
Mom says Dad goes pee pee in the potty a lot.

Tony, the fence guy.

After our fun day in Parker and Emerson's fenced back yard, Mom called Tony. I helped him measure. Mom says we'll be fenced in, in three weeks. She seems relieved. Ryal and I have no idea why.

A bunch of fire fightin' 2 and 3 year olds!

A couple weeks ago, Mom and Nana took us to the Marion Fire Dept. to meet our friends and take a tour. We invited our friends, Parker and Emerson-they're 3, Addison and Braxton-they're exactly one month older than us and we're 2! And our friends, Austen, Brooklen, and Caitlen-they're 3 too. Afterwards we all went to Parker and Emerson's house to play in their fenced yard. Mom said it's the most relaxed she's been all summer.

Who cares what that does.....where's the lights?

yeah, yeah, yeah, a hose, we get it....now about those lights...

Look Caitlen, it's shiny!

Apple pickin' time in the mornin'...

This looks like a nice juicy one!

Taste tester approved...it's a keeper!
