The last month

Yikes, it has been a month since my last update. Since school started life just seems to go so quickly. We are into the routine of school and just doing life. No excited trips to report like during the summer. But I have captured a few photo worthy moments the last month.

Ethan is becoming a great reader. He will sit and read books on his own which is so fun to see. He hasn't gotten hooked on chapter books yet, and we usually ask him to sit down and read, but he is enjoying it, which we are enjoying too!

The garbage man is still quite the excitement on Mondays and Thursdays.

My time with these three in the afternoons and on Tuesdays and Thursdays is pretty fun. Morgan is a fabulous big sister and they have a lot of fun together.

This is one of Ethan's few Lego creations that he created on his own, without following instructions.

Two notes about this picture:One-it is a preview of their Halloween costumes. Two-they are having "book club." I had book club the night before and moved the table into the family room for our snacks. They had to recreate that the next morning.

Because life isn't always neat and put together I thought I'd give you a little peek at my laundry pile. This pile is usually found in our room at least 2 times a week. I wash it all and then put off folding it for a day or so.

Lunch time cuties!

A couple weeks ago my mom took the boys out golfing so we were left at home with just the girls. Now, I love my boys, but it was sure quiet and mellow with only these two at home. Here they are enjoying a picnic.

Oma came down this past weekend. It was a fun weekend to catch up and let her spoil us. The kid loved the extra time with her and were sad to see her leave.

Tonight we celebrated Papa's 65th birthday with some cake and play time. Happy Birthday Papa!
