The fun we have

The kids L O V E to swing.  Cooper finally figured out how to pump this year and they spend every minute they can outside on the swings.  We also are keeping up with the letter each week at Grace's preschool and had fish shaped sandwiches, fish crackers, and fruit for lunch last week.  Also, they love to take pictures and video - that is what our garage looks like (when we have it clean enough to park in there!).  :)

Super Kids!

Joseph the Football Guy

We were able to catch Joseph in one of his 7th grade football games this year.  Cooper went straight to work drawing what he saw (silly face encouraged by Joe), and Grace took her camera to capture pictures of the fun on the field and in the stands!  Good job Joseph!

Word Girl

We are HUGE PBS fans around here and we learn so much from all the shows.  Right now we are in the middle of Predator Week on the Wild Kratts!  Talk about EXCITEMENT in the house!!!!  We also like a good Word Girl episode where Cooper learned the word dictionary from her (I think).  So I gave him my old Peanuts dictionary to page through.... he is so cute all chill-axin' on that big red couch!!  He wasn't all that impressed with the book, but oh so cute!

Snack Time!

An Ode (or two) to Aunt Monica and Eian.... :)

Fall Photos

We drive past this field on the way to church and I am loving the fall colors!  The kids humored me again this year and we headed to the farm for some leaf and lane pictures.  It was a little too bright, but I love that they "Put on a happy face" for me anyway.  :)  The pictures with me in them are BY the other child - artistic geniuses, those two!  Also, Grandpa let me trim his mums this week - they made a beautiful bouquet for our table!
