Pumpkin Painting

We had a fun night painting pumpkins!  Why don't we carve pumpkins?  Carving pumpkins with kids = mom and dad carving intricate drawings...so no, we are a non-carving family.  :-)  Painting was a lot of fun!

Do you like the look?

Seth decided to fix my hair tonight while I was braiding the girls' hair.  He was so proud of his creation!

Being together

At the end of the school day a little boy looks forward to his siblings coming home.  Though he can't read he has chosen to eat his snack and sit close to his sister while she reads for fun.  It is total sweetness to me.

Four Eyes

Having glasses is much cuter and cooler than it was when I got them in 6th grade.  Seriously, ’4 eyes’ have never looked cuter!  She is quickly getting used to wearing them and I appreciate how careful she is with them...hopefully it continues!

Another Lake-Filled Weekend!

We enjoyed a fun weekend at my brothers lake cabin.  My whole side of the family was there which fills their cabin up quick!  The kids have a blast playing together and no matter the temperature they were ready to jump in the water.  I love that cousins = friends!

1st Day of School

Today was the first day of school for 3 out of 4 kids.  We have a 5th grader, 3rd grader and a 2nd grader.  All BEYOND excited for school to start.  They were excited to see friends and all three love math and science.  It's the first year Josiah and Alayna could ride the bus together.  It's also the only year, until they are seniors that they will be in the same school together.  It was fun seeing their excitement...until they left...then my little man was crushed to see his best friends all leave on the bus without him.  Thankfully we've had a fun day and soon we will walk to the bus stop and greet them with hugs and listen to all their stories about their first day of school!

Family Filled Weekend

Friday night we had a double date with Dan's sister and brother in law and we enjoyed riding a surrey bike through Lindenwood Park and great conversation as we hung out.

Saturday we hung out all afternoon and then took in a Red Hawks game and each kid made it in the big screen and they greeted Hawk Eye before we went into the game.  It was a fun and memorable night!

Tomorrow we will enjoy going to church together and then we will say good bye until next summer most likely.  It's bitter sweet...
