Green Pocketbook

This past week we have been reading The Big Green Pocket Book for preschool which is a book about a girl and her Mom taking the bus to town. The first day reading it Nathan said "I want to ride a bus"... little did he know we already had that planned. Saturday afternoon we grabbed our green pocketbooks and flagged down a bus and thankfully Daddy came with us:) The kids were sooo excited, it was so fun to watch their joy as they were taking it all in. We went to town and window shopped, had dinner at a diner and then headed home. Despite a couple meltdowns (so glad Daddy was with us) we all came away with great memories!

"See Daddy, See"

I am so proud of my little boy, he has for the most part been enjoying preschool. I love to watch him get excited about doing things and I love that everyday Daddy comes home both Lydia and Nathan go running to show Daddy what they did in school.

Leaves

The leaves are almost all off the trees and soon they will be sucked up the truck vac....they will be missed by two little kids. How kind of God to make such enjoyable things for kids each season.

And yes Dad...all three of these rambunctious "kids" will be invading your house in less than a week:)

Our week

This is our "silly" pumpkin

This is our sink hole repair. The sink hole that I discovered by falling in it...I will never forget that experience and am glad it is finally repaired. It was only about five feet deep, they had to dig it out much larger then it actually was. the kids loved seeing the men at work.
Our first time making apple sauce...Yummy! Nathan really enjoyed helping..especially this part. I think he was a little amazed:)

And then I had to post this just because.

Trick

Or Treat

Last Saturday, October 29th, we had an autumn snow storm. Many branches down all around the area because the leaves were still on the trees. We were fortunate and only lost power for about 6 hours that night but some of our friends just today got their electric back. But...the kids loved it, especially Nathan...what could be better than an early winter wonderland. He had a grand time playing in the snow and is excited about the coming winter. Lets hope for Mommy's sake that it waits a little bit longer to show it self again.
