House Update

We have been so busy lately and wanted to get these pictures up before our actual move on FRIDAY!!
We can't believe a year has gone by since we decided to move and to think it all started because Jason thought it would be a good time to refinance the beach house?!?! Not sure how we ended up here...

 Kitchen before appliances and cabinet knobs.
The cabinets are actually more of a butterscotch whitewash then they look in this picture.
This is the family room.
To the right of the kitchen is the morning room.

We had such a wonderful Thanksgiving and are thankful for so much!
I will post pictures of our visit to the Poconos soon!

Fun filled weekend!

We had such a jam packed, fun weekend! We went to visit our friends, Steph, Chris and Ryleigh, in their new house in New Jersey Friday night. Their house is beautiful and the kids had SO much fun playing. We all had an awesome time!
Here is a video of Q and Ry playing Ring around the Rosie!
So stinking cute!!!!

Saturday we hopped around to 3 different stores picking out a washer, dryer and new tv for the house.
As you can see Quinn was very patient and loved being raced around Best Buy in a cart! His newest thing is saying "Beep Beep" as we pass other customers!
 We were supposed to go to our friends' sons 2nd birthday party Saturday afternoon, but by the time we got home Quinn decided he much rather take a nice long nap...mommy did too;)


The weather was SO beautiful on Sunday,
Jason thought it would be a great day to go to the apple orchard.
And it was!
Since Quinten's favorite new word is "apple" he had plenty of practice saying it all day long.
Quinten LOVED feeding the baby goats and chickens, playing on the rides, picking pumpkins, being pulled in a wagon, and of course tasting his first apple cider doughnut!

We stopped the wagon to take a picture and Quinten did the sign for more...
guess he wanted to keep going.
 Watching the baby goats eat the food he just tossed them.
 "Daddy, I think this is a good one!"
"Hey wait a minute, you guys told me pumpkins are orange?!?"

As we were getting ready to leave, Quinten spotted some nice older ladies smiling at him.
I guess he figured if they were going to be looking at him he better do something funny!
Funny Face!
He got a real kick out of them waving bye bye back to him from their car window.

Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween Charlie Brown!
Quinten is quite particular about only wearing hats outside and since his Halloween parade was going to be inside we went for a costume idea that he wouldn't get frustrated with...Charlie Brown.
He carried around a Snoopy all day that sang the theme song when you squeezed it.
 Here he is in the wagon for the parade. 
Notice his friend Charlie sleeping on his lap.
Of course Daddy carved the coolest pumpkin for Quinten.
Elmo
Everyday when we get home from school Quinten carries the keys from the car to the front door. He puts the keys on the door as to unlock it.
Now that Elmo is there, he has to first hit the pumpkin on the top a few times to say hello.


We went trick or treating to one neighbor's house but when the man answered the door dressed as the Grim Reaper, we Quinten decided to go back to Rocky and Nina's. He definitely preferred watching the neighborhood kids come to our house in their costumes. He also had no problem filling his pumpkin bucket with candy from Nina's giant bowl.
 Q was getting ready for school and struck a pose to show Daddy how cool he looked!

Quinten has started to repeat so much both verbally and non verbally. He rakes, cooks, sweeps, talks on the phone, scribbles, gets of the couch by himself, tries to jump, and dances every time he hears the slightest amount of music. He says bye bye, ball, sings the "eieio" part of Old McDonald, makes the sound for a cow, monkey, dog, and lamb. The other day he said big ball and banana.
It is amazing what a big boy is.

We are down to the final month before we move. YEAH!!!
Here is a picture of the master bath.
 And the kitchen cabinets going in...
