Fall Fun!

Cheap Fun!

Here come the leaves Mama!!

Well, fall is definitely here.  We are swimming in leaves at our new house and the girls are enjoying it!  Abigail is so inquisitive as of late.  She asks me...."Mom, why are the leaves different colors? Why are they falling from the trees?" Why, why...etc.  My favorite is to listen to her make up the answers when I ask why back.

 My Kenny.  So glad she in not having to butt-scoot around in this mess.  Oh, what it a relief it is!

 I don't know if it is all girls, but my girls love to squeal and scream.  It brings a smile to my face for the first couple of minutes and then I need ear plugs.  They find so much delight in one another.  One of the games they have made up is call "Hello Dearie".  One sits at the table while the other one comes around the corner and they both giggle...."Heeeellllllooooo  Ddddddeeeeaaaarrrriiiiieeee". Love it!

 "Look Mom, I am making the leaves fall"

 Fall is not always fun because it means an end to summer, but the pictures are always great!

Wait, do I see a new dog in this picture?

 

 

 Meet Charlie

Charlie is 1 year old English Lab.  (emphasis on the 1 year old).  He is such a puppy!  We adopted him from another family that was a little overwhelmed by him and at times I can see why.  Mostly though, we are growing to love him.  He is smart, energetic, cuddly, and hairy.  Welcome Charlie.

Abbi's in Pre-School!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 Okay, so am I way behind on this post, but I had to get it in there.  Abbi is in pre-school and she is loving it.  She has been asking to go to school for almost a year now and finally it has arrived.  There are 7 moms doing a co-op and we take turns hosting "Joy School".  It is A LOT of work (when it is your week to teach), but the kids are loving it and so are the moms.

 There are 6 boys and 2 girls.  Gotta love that ratio.  Hopefully, Abigail will have such good odds when it comes to dating these guys in 20 years, that is right, I said 20 years.  =)

 This was such an awesome activity.  We did finger painting with pudding.  The kids could eat and draw at the same time.  I loved it because they were thoroughly engaged for 30 minutes.  (I think that is a record!)

 My sis........SO grown up.  Why do they have to do that?  Keep getting cuter and getting bigger?

 Kenny loves school too.  When I am the host, Kenny thinks she is one of the big kids and keeps right up with them.  When I am not teaching, she soaks up every minute of one on one time.

My next shift is the Halloween party!  Bring it on my little ghost and goblins!
