School fundraiser: Since we didn't know any neighbors and Daddy works at the school we set up a chocolate almond table by the busy mailbox outside our house in the hopes that we could sell 60 boxes. And we did in two afternoons after school they were all gone.
But who could say no to these charming boys. Even the garbage truck driver and crew bought some, bus drivers pulled over and we actually met lots of our neighbors. Good thinking eh?
Sister in law Trixie and I went for a 5km walk one beautiful fall afternoon. It was perfect because these two fell sound asleep.
Train ride anyone?
Computer games...
Auntie Tracy came for a sleepover. The kids loved all the attention she gave them.
park date.
Isaac started catching the bus to and from preschool after two weeks of mommy and Emma driving him. It was getting to be a bit much driving 20 minutes each way twice a day from Tuesday till Friday.
As sad as he looks here he actually loves the bus, just a little unsure the first day.
Andrew Started taking piano lessons once a week for 12 weeks. We bought a used keyboard off of swap and buy. He's even teaching his brothers and catching on very quickly.
Emma lines up all her teddys at bedtime, tucks them in, kisses them and falls asleep hugging them. Grandma bear, mommy and daddy and puppy.
One Sunday evening we were invited out by some friends to go to the river valley for a picnic and to hang out. The kids took their fishing rods and were also entertained by a rock slinger and mud.
It was so beautiful and fun hanging out.
Slinging rocks into the river.
Love this picture and this spot. It's along the trails close to our house. Tall tall birch trees. Love it.
Woodpecker in our back yard.
We had a craft morning one Saturday. A bit stressful for mom but the end result is usually fun.
We made a fall banner with leaves that say things were thankful for. The kids came up with lots of things: pizza, beds, God, Emma, friends, school bus you name it.
A Fall Walk to the soccer field.
My new hat made by a girl at church. Kinda fun.
Burning some energy and getting some fresh air.
