Adventures of the Loveless Family

Jump!

Molly is a little jumping bean these days. She loves to jump. She can finally get both feet off the floor and she is so proud. She squats down and says "Zshump" (Jump in Molly-speak) before she does it, then she gets such a happy look on her face when she does it. I'll be working on getting a picture soon :)

Halloween

The Halloween costumes have been chosen! Megan is going to be a witch and Molly is going to be a black cat. Megan's making her "scary witch" fact in the picture above, I guess she's planning to scare the candy out of people this year! Molly was tickled to be dressed up as a kitty. She kept crawling around saying "Meow" so it was hard to get a good picture of her!

Grammy Stone

This picture of Molly reminds me of Grammy Stone, my dad's mom. My parents have said before that they see some of her in Molly, and this picture really did it for me. I never really saw it before until Molly was wandering around the yard making this face - I had to capture a picture of it to show to them. Grammy used to set her jaw just like this. I guess when she was unhappy or didn't agree with you. I don't really remember when, but I do remember seeing it.

I'll have to see if my parents have a picture I can scan, so that I can do a comparison of the two. I don't know what Molly was doing, but she wandered around for a few minutes with this look on her face, then she went back to playing happily.

The Swingset

We got Megan and Molly a swingset this summer since we don't have a park in walking distance. Scott put it together in the backyard under the supervision of Megan. From my understanding that meant he worked as quickly as he could to put it together while Megan asked every 15 seconds "Daddy, why isn't it done yet? You're taking too long!" This swingset is honestly the best $150 we've spent in years. The girls love it - they go out and swing nearly every day.

At first, Molly really only rode in her swing. Now, she loves to climb up the slide ladder, swing on the glider and even try out the big kid swing. We might have to replace the baby swing next spring with the other big kid swing!

Megan taught herself to pump her legs to make herself go in only a few days. She loved the glider when we first got the swingset, too. Now, she likes sliding on the slide every which way (think head-first, on her back) and hanging upside down on the bars on the end.

Here are some pictures of the girls on their swingset from last weekend. You can see that they really have a blast playing on that thing!

Apple Picking

We did my favorite fall activity and went apple picking at Paulus Orchards in Dillsburg today. The girls had a blast. Molly enjoyed walking around and eating apples fresh off the trees. Megan picked apples and wanted to carry them all over with her instead of putting them in the bag. We rode in a wagon pulled by a trailer from the parking area out to the trees.

The weather was fantastic, sunny & low 70's. We all enjoyed the nice weather and the chance to hang out as a family. It was a great start to the fall season :)
