Random 2014 Purge

Whoa, this is it...I made it through 2014!!!!!  This is just a hodge podge of photos that didn't go into any other posts...hopefully I didn't repeat any! 
 
Our fall decor we put out at the end of September...my poor mums didn't make it very long though! My thumb is definitely NOT green!  
Stinkin cute Cody and one of the pics I took for his 2nd bday!
Oh you know, just chillin at the bus stop on a Barbie car in my jammies and rain boots!
Oh my, when did she grow up??!!!
I found this on the iPad, ha!!!
Yikes, scary!!  Hailey was bit by our neighbor's dog!!!  A 4yr old was holding it and struggling with keeping her back from Leila and Hailey went over to help the little girl so we could walk by and it jumped and attacked Hailey (apparently it's protective of the little girl, sigh)  The parents didn't know she had the dog outside and I felt horrible that I let Hailey go help the girl.  Those are TEETH marks on Hailey's face and we have NO CLUE how it didn't puncture her skin.  She also had a nip on her elbow!  Super scary for all of us, but a valuable lesson was learned about remembering that pets are animals!!!
Six Flags over St. Louis is an hour and a half away from us.  My parents bought us 2015 Season Passes and we were able to use those 2015 passes for the rest of 2014 until they closed Nov. 1st.  We are excited about going back in the spring!



First bonfire of the season!!!!!
That's a shell-less egg that Kai is holding!!!  We followed this experiment and made a naked egg!
Kai lost her 2nd tooth because Luke and her bonked heads/faces and it knocked out! :)  She's working on her 3rd one, the top middle, so hopefully that one falls out uneventfully! 
Leevi and Kai working on her 'office bed'

Leevi was the builder and somehow I became the painter!
With lots of helpers!!!
The morning before we moved it to her room...she was so excited that she brought out a chair and drew her first picture!!!
It really is awesome!!!!!  My favorite feature are two cubbies that Leevi added on each side of her bed for her to put her stuffed animals.  They look so cute peeking out! 
Hailey didn't want a bunk bed/office bed, but I found a cute canopy idea on Pinterest that she liked...
It's 3 curtains mounted to the ceiling with a curtain rod.
We had our first snow in November and haven't had anymore since!!!

This was the first time that Luke has played in the snow and he LOVED it!!!!!



The little hill in our front yard is perfect for sledding!
I guess you can consider that our first snowman!!!


Snow baseball!!!
And we made snow cream for the first time: 4c of snow, 1c of milk, 1/4c of sugar, 1tsp of vanilla!

And then went back out for round two with Bri!

We finally added the center tracks to his train set...this is definitely a well-loved toy!!!
Leila getting her daily booty-scratch from Rachel!!!! 
Hailey is a converse kid...we gone from pink to black and now to mediterranean blue!
The girls and I made fabric covered cork boards for their rooms.
Don't mind the disaster on Kai's desk...an artist in the making!!!
And some video fun....
back in Germany...
