i'm about 20 days late in posting this.  jacks and livi turn 6 in TEN DAYS!  their countdown has begun...

lyla brought along a new monkey friend 

one more month left!

it turns out herbie is not a fan of halloween

what a beautiful smile, lyla!

anything goes on the muni bus

nice manicure!

lyla wears halloween really well

a visit to the pumpkin patch

so SCARY!!!

halloween pre-party at her buddy's house

7am...off to school, the park, and doggie daycare

beauty and the beast at daycare!

Stan Lee the kitty hosted a trick-or-treating table

i took the day off of work to
volunteer at their halloween carnival

what a handsome headless dinosaur

my non-cowardly lion

we headed out that evening in a friend's neighborhood

and the kids favorite part was, of course, sorting the candy

this is what livi's heaven looks like

this is what lyla's heaven looks like

our friend's tiny dog Kiwi

castle building

anyone ready for a turkey dinner?

doesn't every dog want a pet dinosaur?

herbie wasn't so sure about lyla' screeching friend

i love my boys

saturday night-out

after pizza, they got their sillies out before...

ICE CREAM!!

john and lyla have started hitting up the local 5ks

jacks seems to like the kid 1k races

livi is still working on pushing through when tired =)

a rare treat (we've moved on to showers over baths)

post-bath crazies

jacks counts livi's favorite colors
as we walk home from school

she loves to practice her counting

lyla started yelling 5 min into our drive...
apparently herbie was not thrilled she was in his seat

lyla still needs some work on her chuck-it skills

enjoying our beautiful city

pre-game dinner

natural models

such cuties!

time to tackle another 5k

we enjoyed our time spectating

post-race recovery snacks

time to head home to enjoy the rest of our sunday

hmmm, her legs seem well-rested despite the race

the rain has returned!!

sheila keeps them busy with...

trips to starbucks, and...

trips to target!
hopefully they're not picking up lice 

nice and cozy

sweet dreams, babies!
