A Visit from Tootsie

Caden got to bring his class pet tortoise, Tootsie, home for a weekend.  Both kids were so excited! 

Here's a picture outside of Caden's classroom right after we picked up Tootsie. 

 
Letting Tootsie take an afternoon stroll. 

 
We ordered a new sectional for the porch.  The kids love playing out on the patio. 
 
We are moving forward with building a pool.  I picked materials a few weeks ago.

Caden loves looking at the plans.
 
Annabelle decided to get creative with a crayon and the carpet a few Saturdays ago.  This picture doesn't do it justice; it was all over her room, from the door to the corner by her closet.  She was in her room for bedtime, and Brian went in and discovered it.  After nearly 3 hours of scrubbing with vinegar, dish soap, and a toothbrush, her carpet is back to it's original color. 
 
All of our living room furniture from our old house is in our upstairs living room.  So we are slowly furnishing the downstairs living room.  Our sectional came two weeks ago, and the kids are enjoying the new coffee table.  It makes a night train table.  
 
We have been enjoying the nice Fall weather.  Annabelle asked me to take her picture by the fire hydrant during a nature walk one afternoon. 
 
One afternoon, we walked her "baby" to the park in her stroller, and then she pushed him in the swing.
