The Fulmer Family: WHOA!!!

Ok, so imagine my surprise (and disappointment) when I go to post pictures of the boys sitting on Santa's lap and see that my last post was way back in SEPTEMBER!!! UGGGHHHHHH!!!!! Needless to say, you'll have another few days of numerous posts that won't be as detailed as I would have hoped since I'm trying to rush to get all these out before Christmas next week...ahhhh! Anyways, it's gonna be a long one, but here are the best pics from the month of October. Feel free to take numerous breaks while viewing this post. :)

Randoms

One of our regular trips to the Greenville Zoo. We got some fabulous family shots now that Blake was a little older. This was one of our best trips. One of the reasons it was so great is how this white-nosed coati was playing with the boys.

Best Big Brother!!!

Extremely funny story...Now that Max is potty trained I'm trying to encourage him to go potty independently. This particular time he did a great job going all by himself. The problem was putting his pants back on.

If you look closely you can see that he put both legs through the same hole of his shorts and then put his underwear on...backwards. You have to give him kudos for trying!!!

Playing the drums at a local school fall fesitval

ADORBS!!!! He continues to be quite the chatterbox. Unfortunately, you have to be pretty loud to keep up in this house. POOR MOMMY!!!!!!

Another funny story...We were grocery shopping and obviously in the produce section. I forgot something at the other end of the veggies so I told Max to stay with the cart and I went back to get it (of course I was not so far away that I couldn't see the cart). After retrieving my vegetable, I turned to go back to the buggy (as they call it in the south) and I didn't see Max. As you know, he is not the type to run off so I was a little worried. Not being able to spot him as I neared the cart, I kept walking past it, with admittedly a little fear. The above is what I found just behind the buggy. Chillin' with the potatoes, hand in his pocket, waitin' on Mommy. LOVE!!!!!!!!

10/6 - First attempt at cereal

A little bit of a shocker...lol

This face tells it all

Hangin' out downtown at Falling for Greenville

Kaelan and I at his field trip to the pumpkin patch

Charleston - Beach

We took the boys to Patriots Point off the Charleston Harbor for the 1st time. They got to see the USS Yorktown (WWII air craft carrier), the USS Clamagore (submarine that served during the Cold War), USS Laffey (WWII destroyer), and numerous air craft that were aboard the Yorktown. We all had a GREAT time!

That's Mike, Kaelan, and Max on the look-out of the tower on top of the USS Yorktown. Air craft carriers are truly a sight to see. They are ENORMOUS and the Yorktown is a dwarf compared to modern carriers.

Blake enjoyed the ride while we toured the Laffey destroyer

Max at the helm of the destroyer

The weather was a little chilly and clearly extremely windy!!!!

We covered him up completely just to keep the wind and blowing sand off of him while he napped and we played in the sand.

Showing off the sand castle he and I made. The chilly, windy weather didn't stop these 2 CRAZY boys from getting in the water.

Grandma & Grandpa Visit

Posing with the puzzle they put together. Heaven forbid Grandma & Grandpa come empty-handed (hehehe!!!). ;)

Playing kickball with Daddy

Grandpa graciously decided that the boys had to have a sandbox. So, just like his grandfather did for him, he spent the weekend building a fabulous sandbox. Thanks to Mike for helping as well.

Of course the men had the tools out so Max wondered if he was strong enough to pick up this sledge hammer...

and he was!!!! Small and mighty I guess. ;)

Grandpa brought some binoculars (spyglass) for the boys to play with. A huge hit with both of them!

Playing/building with the spare pieces of wood.

Ridin' the waves!

Clearing out the grass

I just included this picture because of Max's face. This is the face he gives when he means BUSINESS!!!!
Look out bad guys!!!!

In goes the sand...waiting patiently

Happily spreading the sand around

I think they need some more sand toys...hahaha

Mike let Kaelan make the face for the jack-o-lantern. They decided it was a little too involved. :)

Cleaning out the "guts"

The finished product. Mike is an excellent carver!

Our little ninja on our way to Boo at the Zoo

A friend let us borrow this one-eyed monster costume. The only boy who was not Tigger for his first Halloween. Not sure what we did with that costume but I think he makes a better monster anyways. ;)
