Those Chapmans – Page 122 – Out Of Their Minds Design

October, Part V

On October 10th it was time to meet up with the Schoenborns again to see how Martin, Melissa, Isaac and Levi were doing, and enjoy the hospitality of Robinette’s Apple Orchard. See this image larger.

Nina watches from the sidelines this year, but next year, lookout! See this image larger.

Every year these two boys have a contest to see who can out-cute the other. It is always fiercely battled, and a tie. See this image larger.

That kid loves to run, if you give him a chance! See this image larger.

And yet other times, he seemingly won’t move at all. Case in point, a long line of blonde haired boys await Ian to go down the dang slide. See this image larger.

Finally! See this image larger.

*YES, I’m still sitting here. MUST YOU RUB IT IN?* See this image larger.

Nina was immediately at-ease with Melissa Schoenborn — she has that effect on people, particularly the little ones! We’re inside here for cider and doughnuts! See this image larger.

October 6th, this is the treat that Ian requested from the pink ice cream truck, stored in the freezer for a day when he behaved a little better and finished his dinner. Here he discovers that cold food can sometimes be a little too cold. See this image larger.

But still delicious… See this image larger.

Nina is temporarily thrilled that her brother is going to share his M&M treat with her… this is before we broke the bad news to her… See this image larger.

BONUS VIDEO! October 7th, behold the face of a girl trying puffs for the first time. If you don’t know what a puff is, imagine something like a… piece of popcorn, without the shell, that is specially formulated to completely melt in your mouth into goo in moments. The idea is, something to try and chew, but failing that not dangerous. Click here to watch the video!

October 8th, Ian had his PJ bottoms pulled all the way up to his armpits. It was cute, but probably not really (bad) photo worthy. See this image larger.

October 9th, Ian tries out his cool book wherein they teach him to trace inside the lines. He did awesome. This is at least his second time playing with this book, and he did very well the first time, months ago. See this image larger.

October, Part III

BONUS VIDEO! October 5th, since Ian was born we have referred to the pink ice cream truck in our neighborhood as simply “the pink truck.” We never told him that it was actually an ice cream truck. This day was supposed to be the big reveal. He had seen ice cream trucks on tv shows like Dora the Explorer, but I wasn’t sure if he’d ever made the connection to the pink truck. He claims that he already knew, and when you watch this you’ll see that it sounds like he already knew OR that he just figured it out at that moment. My theory is that he figured it out precisely here, on film… why, you ask? Simple — if he HAD known before this video, he would have asked for ice cream whenever the truck went by. Every. Single. Time. Now maybe you can guess why we didn’t tell him right off the bat? 😉 Regardless, the smile on his face, seen toward the end of the video, is worth every step I had to run and every cent paid for the frozen confection.
