Pumpkin Patch

What a gorgeous time of year! I just love it! Today was so beautiful & we had time to go to the pumpkin patch, but first I took their picture with our burning bush...they are really starting to turn & they are my favorite in the fall!!!

The kids had a blast at the pumpkin patch & it doesn't cost us a penny...well the pumpkins do...but the playing & hay mazes are all free!!!

Fall is here!!

Yay!! Fall is here!! We are loving it!! We haven't been up to much...tennis is now over & gymnastics is back in the fold!! Nothing much going on here....except this week is fall break! Hopefully we make a visit to the pumpkin patch, which I will post here!! As always my FAVORITE thing....holiday pajama's!!! Here they are....my little monsters!!

Look who got glasses....

Well....Lilee failed her eye exam for the third grade...so we went to the eye doctor & she has a VERY bad astigmatism...not sure how she has passed all the other eye exams...but here we are!! She picked out two pairs & after waiting for TWO WEEKS!!! we finally have them and she loves them...now decisions on which pair to wear...it's like another accessory (which Lilee LOVES)!!

Tennis

Well school is going just swimmingly.....third grade is a HUGE adjustment for Lilee, we are getting by, but hopefully it starts to flow in the coming weeks. Samuel is rocking kindergarten & he is being the big helper this year & showing the kids how to behave & what to do & not do....Tennis has started and we are moving right along...Lilee just picked up from last year & is loving it & Samuel is thrilled they have included kindergarten this year! They both love it....not the heat...just the game!!!

Twas the night before school

This year I found a poem on a website about the night before school and it was so cute I decided to read it to my kids, it has a part about magic confetti and you put it under your pillow and it helps you sleep the night before school since you are so excited about it starting...;so here are the kids with their confetti....

First day of school....

First day a success!!! After school treat!!!

Surprise!!!

I came home today and look what I saw......

He hasn't had ANY loose teeth at all & Chuck said today during lunch his front tooth just fell out!!! I'm SHOCKED!!! I just felt his teeth the other day and we were talking about how he hasn't even lost one tooth and he is 6!!! Well here you go buddy...your first lost tooth!!

Jump Rope Camp

Lilee attended jump rope camp this week & loved it!! She wasn't sure if any of her friends were doing it and she did it anyway!! I'm so proud that she took that leap that she might just be the only one there...that is huge for my shy little girl!!! She learned different ways of jumping and it turned out 2 of her friends ending up being in the camp as well...here she is showing off just a few of her new skills!!
