the past few weeks have been filled with lots of fun, and they've also been quite busy. between preschool applications (don't get me started) and getting ready for our trip to washington dc (just in time for the government shutdown), i've let too much time pass since i've updated the blog so it may take a couple of posts to catch up.
in the middle of september, john headed off on a five day bachelor party to vancouver, so nana snoozie flew in for the weekend to provide some adult company for me and an extra pair of hands with the kids. livi and jacks also made it to their first tailgate of the 2013 stanford football season. after dodging the rain, they seemed to enjoy watching the football players storm the field and the band run around like lunatics. unfortunately, our days of them sleeping in the carrier while at the game are over - most of the time was spent climbing stadium stairs, getting water from the drinking fountain and washing their hands in the bathroom sink.

| waiting for their eggs and guacamole |
 |
| face-timing with their favorite - Cliff |
 |
| a trip to nordstrom leads to smiles all around |
 |
| a nice presidio hike with his nana (he often refused to hold my hand so he could hold hers) |
 |
| livi was pulling up the rear dragging baby along with her |
 |
| livi and i headed to pick up some groceries |
 |
| while jacks and snoozie spent some quality time together |
 |
| the weekend ended with a trip to walgreens and a special treat from the bakery |
 |
| jacks and livi's second stanford football season |
 |
| nikki won them over with a yummy cookie |
 |
| cheering on the team as they head onto the field |
 |
| we were all happy that the rain had finally subsided |
 |
| eating his first waffle fry (dad's favorite) |
 |
| we probably spent 30 minutes at the drinking fountain |
 |
| wouldn't you want this family to join your preschool?!? |
 |
| admiring the san francisco wildlife on our morning run |
 |
| kim has been kind enough to lend two hands on our weekend long runs |
 |
| after several miles, we drop them off to hang with dad |
 |
| the three of them play in the dirt or the sand |
 |
| the bath usually follows these outings as well |
 |
| i hadn't taken them to the library in ages, but decided to give it a shot |
 |
| livi spent all of 2 minutes playing with toys before dumping books off the shelves (leading to an early departure) |
 |
| jacks, on the other hand, could have spent several productive hours there |
 |
| we picked up some dog food and bully sticks for bones on the way home |
 |
| in order to take the kids and bones out together when i'm alone, i have to head to deserted places like the presidio |
 |
| which means the kids will become covered in dirt |
 |
| i used my lego skills to help him build a custom car for his bedtime crew |
 |
| bones was begging to bring his nasty meat bone to the couch (john said 'no way'...such a mean dad) |
 |
| they love hanging like monkeys |
 |
| their little footprints are now framed in our bedroom as beautiful works of art |
 |
| we're always quite surprised with how much they'll actually play together |
 |
| double the trouble, double the fun |
 |
| they love on the goat like they love on bones |
 |
| discovery museum with leanne and crew - life doesn't get much better than this |
 |
| water park |
 |
| his love bug |
 |
| music class - jacks is a bit skeptical about this enzo guy |
 |
| post-music visit to the beach |
 |
| hmmm, what'd you get in your lunch box? |
 |
| los tres amigos |
 |
| kisses, kisses and more kisses |
 |
| taking a trip to the east bay to visit polly pup |
 |
| riding the choo-choo train...can you guess which baby is which? |
 |
| tunnel, tunnel! |
 |
| sitting comfy on dad's back |
 |
| polly pup was not impressed by livi's belly button |
 |
| livi and jacks wanted to join the pot-luck with my coworkers |
 |
| he convinced me to let him hold the cone all by himself |
 |
| of course, livi then had a turn |
 |
| they got a huge kick out of feeding each other |
 |
| ice cream and ponies - never gets old |
 |
| holding on to the reigns |
 |
| we headed to a carnival held at natnat's elementary school |
 |
| they got to decorate their own cookies |
 |
| eating them was obviously their favorite part |
 |
| getting to hold their own pears has been a recent highlight for them |
 |
| we came all the way to the carnival, let's get on a ride! |
 |
| they surprisingly enjoyed it...john and i, on the other hand, were nauseous for the rest of the day |
