LOVE the Pumpkin Patch





















I absolutely love going to the pumpkin patch. Of course, I love taking pictures because the colors are so great. But also, the activities are fun and the kids love it too. The rope swing was fun, but Billy and I quickly learned that we don't have the arm and stomach muscle strength that the boys do. They went on that rope swing 20 times at least, while we only lasted 2 times. What a fun afternoon with the family.

Very Creative



D absolutely loves doing projects. Recently he decided he wanted to design a t-shirt. I think it turned out great.

Beach Trip











I always love trips to the beach. We just had a couple great nights and days at the beach. We played in the water and sand on the beach, swam in the hotel pool, shopped and ate!

September

We have had a great first month of school and September overall. The boys are really enjoying school. O is so proud every time we pick him up. He proudly holds up his papers and shows us everything he has done that day. D is getting used to not understanding the spanish part of class for now, but comes home singing the songs and proudly tells us the spanish words he has learned. I'm really hoping some of this spanish wears off on me! O still says all the time, "Should I...", which is really cute at night when he comes in and asks if he should sleep with me. Recently the boys and I played 9 holes of golf and then ran into our friends at the club and joined them for dinner. As we drove home, D said "I had the best night, thank you mommy." Doesn't that always make everything worthwhile. K also had a big month. She is now clasping her hands together, following movement, playing with toys, and giggling. She also had her first big belly laugh while watching her crazy older brother O doing something funny. Overall, a great month. I have just started back to work and I am going to miss all the little things I have been able to enjoy during my time off.
