The Leaves are Falling

The leaves have covered our backyard.  I love watching them fall like rain.

The colors are beautiful and once again it is wonderful to see the world through the kid's eyes.  They get so excited about the leaves changing colors.  The love to collect them while we are in the backyard.

It has been a busy month for us filled with fun activities.

We started the month off at the pumpkin patch.  The kids had fun picking out pumpkins.  I love the white pumpkins.  They are my favorite.

Another fun activity was the State Fair.  

Bailey's class went on field trip to the fair.  She had so much fun.  It was so cute to see her eyes light up as we walked around and saw lots of the attractions.  She enjoyed a few rides and some cotton candy.

One of the highlights at the fair was milking a cow.  

Then the fun part.  The costumes!  Maw Maw makes the kid's costumes every year.  They are always so cute and extra special because she makes them out of love.

Meet Keenan the Fireman.  Keenan to the rescue! 

The bug guy carved the pumpkin this morning.  Meet our one tooth pumpkin.

Gee visited us this weekend.  Meet Gee, Uniqua and Fireman Keenan.

We all headed to the Fall Festival at our church.  Lots of fun games and candy but no good pictures.  

We love the Backyardigans in our family.  The kids dance to their songs and love their adventures.  So this year Bailey decided to be Uniqua from the Backyardigans.  I realize some fo you reading this may not know who the Backyardigans are.  It is a cartoon show that the characters imagine adventures that they go on.  The show always ends with the Backyardigans having a snack.  

We ended Halloween night with a camp fire and smores with friends.

I hope you are having a great autumn season.  

Learning Things Beyond ABC's and 123

The kids are learning lots at school this year.  They both learn a new Bible verse each week.  The first week of school Keenan learned that God created the heavens and earth.  Gesus (Keenan's version of Genesis) 1:1.  Bailey chimed in and said "Keenan it is "In the beginning, God created the heaven and earth.  Genesis 1:1."  

Then one day, Bailey told me to look.  She was holding up her fingers like this.  She says "Mommy, did you know this means I love you?"  I did not know that and I hope that is what it means.  She loves giving me the "sign" to say she loves me.  Oh, I hope that is what it means and not something else.   

She is learning about friendships and how special her friends are.  Even the boys can be good friends.  

She is also learning new games.  So imagine this little girl saying the following.....(giggling the whole time)

Mommy, after we eat our lunch we can talk at the table.  And like, there is a game that they (they means the boys)play and it is so funny.  Like, they say "Who cut the cheese?  Libby, did you cut the cheese?"  And like, Libby says no.  And then they (meaning the boys again) say "Bailey, did you cut the cheese?" And I say no.  Mommy isn't that funny!  Who cut the cheese game is soooo funny.

Lovely!  The sweet little girl is learning "Who cut the cheese?"

Ok, let me go on record that she has no idea what cut the cheese means.  I did not feel compelled to tell her either.  

There is your laugh for the weekend.

A Rainy Day

We just got back from spending 2 weeks at the beach.  We had beautiful weather except for one day.  Now you have to understand there is NOTHING to do at Bald Head if it rains.  We pretty much stay inside since the only transportation on the island is golf carts.  

So what do we do?  

Potty Train!

I'm just going to leave it up to big sis.

Have a great week.
