what we have been up too

Between school, work and colds we have been busey enjoying fall...



The leaves have started to fall from the tree's and Connor is enjoying his new rope swing...
 
 
  One muddy day the boys were sooo muddy we decided we should"paint" with the mud to help clean ourselves up...

 On Friday's we added a new little friend to come and play with us.. this is me attempting to play 4 square with a 3 year old and a 2 year old :)

This is how my 3 year old plays 4 square...



Hop scotch worked much better...
 

Just playing catch was much more her speed...


there have been a couple of rainy days where we have been stuck inside and the playroom has turned into this... Messy messy messy!



Connor had a sleep over with his best friend Karin.. the 3 of them get along very well... they spend the day playing and giggling...



I have been spending a lot of time remembering my little boys.. school has brought on a lot of change and it amazes me all the time at how big Connor is getting... how much responsibility he is taking on... how much FUN it is to be with him in this stage of his life...

But it is moments where he is covered in paint that I can smile and remember it wasn't that long ago that my big guy looked like this...



 Hope everyone is enjoying fall as much as we are... do you think it is too early to start Christmas music... hummmm?

Good Rainy morning everyone

What a lovely raining morning we are enjoying here...

everyone in my house (excluding the husband) slept in till almost 7:00 UNHEARD OF!
Connor's sweet bus driver stopped at our front porch (where we were hiding out from the rain).. small things make my heart happy always...

we have been very busy around here..
last week was the Lampeter fair
animals, venders and most importantly TRACTORS! all conveniently in our back yard...


too bad the only pictures I took were of the boys making rope the old fashioned way..
the boys participated in the greased pig chase and we had fun evenings with friends and family each night of the fair.
Koda was a hit also.. I got mobbed a bunch of times by people interested in petting our playful puppy... Other Husky owners were very happy to share stories  and photo's.. it was fun and informational it was great everyone was loving on her and giving her attention she liked it,... we had no where to ride/ run so it was a great way to get the the attention she needed.

speaking of Koda look at what she got into today... red pen all over her feet !?! Uggh silly puppy!


and around the house I have been doing all kinds of moving and changing things around.. I am moving Riley's room from the front to the back of the house and I am moving closets around... and purging a bunch of things that I don't use/need anymore.

I am working on organizing Connor's Kindergarten stuff, things he brings home, things he needs to do, papers the teacher sends for me...

I am still not sure how I feel about school for Connor... He is loving it but I am not, I feel so disconnected from him, maybe I need to learn how to ask better questions to get better answers from him... It would just be nice to know what is going on in the classroom all day long... sigh...
