It is Fall

We may only be a few days into the new season but that hasn't stopped my boys from participating in one of their favorite fall activities. 

 

 

 

In just a few more days the leaves that have fallen have quadrupled! The boys absolutely love leaf jumping and the best thing about leaves is that the leaves are free and they disappear and don't need to be stored somewhere during the winter!

 

Happy Fall Everyone!

 



Chatty Cathy

My lunch date 5 days a week!

With his older brother in kindergarten, Lincoln and I enjoy quiet lunches together most days.  Anyone that knows Linc understands that he is one of the slowest eaters in the world.  He is content to take his time and will eat everything on his plate.  I try my best to sit and chat with him and not go off and get the four thousand things I could get done before he finishes his applesauce. He's pretty cute and chatty so he's got that going for him.  We are only 3 weeks into our lunch dates for 2, let's see how long I can last before I leave him sitting at the table alone.

Education on The Force

May the force be with you...

Wanting to be Luke Skywalker and a storm trooper for Halloween meant my boys had been exposed to enough Star Wars knowledge that it was time...

Thanks to Aunt Jeanne and Uncle Ryan the boys own all 6 episodes and we decided that the time was right to start introducing them to movies of the characters that they love.  We have done A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back and they have loved them.  It's fun to watch them take it in for the first time.  Colby already knew that Darth Vader was Luke's father but it still was great to watch his reaction as it all goes down in the movie.  This only solidified the boys' choice in their Halloween costumes so as it gets closer look for pics of Luke and a storm trooper.  May the force be with you...

Back To School

My absence is due to this..

Finally these boys are back in school.  Lincoln is in his pre-school program (that I love so much) and Colby has started Kindergarten.  Lincoln picked up where he left of last year and didn't miss a beat.  Colby had to transition to quite a few changes, new school, bus rides, hot lunch, new teacher and an all day schedule but has risen to the occasion. 

I drove him the first day to school and offered to drive him the second day but he insisted on taking the bus because it was one of his favorite parts of the first day taking the bus home.  He has loved his hot lunch too, I asked if he ate his salad one day and he said "yes, did you know salads have vegetables in it? It was so good!" And I was so concerned that he wouldn't use the bathroom at school but when I asked if he used it the first day he said yes he did both. I was shocked and asked really to which I got " yes, I peed and pooped! That's how Colby rolls!" He comes home happy and tired and I couldn't be more excited about how it has gone so far.  Stay tuned for the stories he comes home with...
