Pumpkin Patchin

We visited a pumpkin patch a couple weekends ago.  The weather was gorgeous for climbing, playing and a wagon ride.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The fall festivities have begun and are only going to get better from here on out.

Star Student {Chesney}

Chesney was the star student in her classroom a few weeks ago.  She was so excited to take in her things to show her classmates and to be the line leader for the week.

 

 

 On Thursday of the week your child is the Star Student, you can have lunch with them.  I jumped on the chance to have lunch with my little lady.

After lunch I went home and Chesney went to recess with her friends.  I just love how cute they look in their little uniforms.

Pregnancy & Infant Loss Remembrance Day

Today is Pregnancy & Infant Loss Remembrance Day.  Today and everyday I think about our 6 angel babies.  I know they are wait to meet us again one day, and we pray that they look over us until we meet again.

To all those babies who never had the chance to be held or left too soon, may you know that the love for you burns on.

Psalms 139:16 "..all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be."

Fall fun

We are enjoy the fall weather and spending a mix of time inside and outside.

 Playdoh is always a win when we are inside. We made marshmallow playdoh a few times.  It's fun to play with and you can eat it.

 

 

He's a rock star.

 Double fisting the smoothies.

 My helper getting the fall plants out.

 Brecken made a train of cars and tractors.

 

 Mackston loves his blanket and is almost always laying on it when I get him up in the morning.

 The fall festival at church was tons of fun.

 

 

 

 An apple kind of morning for Chesney.  Apple cinnamon oatmeal, an apple, an apple donut and apple juice.

 A new house is going up down the street, so we had to check out the diggers.

 The kids got their flu shots and were rewarded with ice cream.

 I let Mackston finish mine.  He was the happiest boy ever.

 

 Sometimes you just need to get in the tupperware drawer to get the job done.

We went to a pumpkin festival at the local grocery store last weekend, and the kids got to pet a miniature horse.

Chesney {3rd Lost Tooth}

Chesney lost her 3rd tooth today, her left lower lateral incisor.  She didn't even know it was loose until she woke up and wiggled it.  And she was determined to get that tooth out.  And that's exactly what she did.

 

Mackston {16 Months Old}

It's hard to keep up with these posts as the months are flying by.

Here's what you have been up to over the past month...

Playing in the rocks and climbing diggers.

 More park fun.
