Fall Festivities

Whew! We have been BUSY lately...........I know in several years life will be this way most weeks.... with practices, school functions and games, church activities, etc., but doing extracurricular things twice a week right now is a challenge.
Fall has brought with it cooler weather, changing colors and lots of fun things to celebrate. Last weekend, we went to your first Fall Festival, Caitlyn. It was to celelebrate the beginning of the school year and to raise money for your school. From the minute we got there, you wanted to find your friends and weren't too concerned about dear old mom, dad and little sis ( a vision into the future, I believe). I know it is so healthy and good that you are well adjusted and social, but I will say I came home with a bit of a heavy heart that night. You are really growing up.
Caroline loved the inflatable slide!!

You girls got your face painted, did a sack race, ate lots of sweets and got to pretend to have a wound and get it wrapped by the boy scouts. This was one of the biggest hits of the night.

Here you are with one of your new buddies, Caden.

We also got to go to your first Fall party in your classroom. It was so fun to watch you interact with your friends. You all had pumpkin donuts, played Halloween Bingo, made Fall door hangers and finger puppets, and listened to two Fall stories read by one of the Room Mothers.


With your new friends, Ryan and Bailey

Caroline, you got to go on your first field trip this year to Walden Farm. I got to go with Caitlyn last year, so Daddy went with you this year. You two had the best time. Here is your class with Miss Anna in your cute pumpkin shirts you made just for this day.
You got to play in corn, see lots of neat farm animals, go on a hayride, eat a picnic lunch and pick out a pumpkin.




After the field trip, you got to hang out with Daddy the rest of the day. He took you to go see some houses he has been looking at to flip and to check on the two he is currently working on. Both of you LOVE "going to work" with Daddy whenever you get the chance.


You were pooped after your full day. That's how I feel most afternoons, too, girl!

p.s.
Daniel flips houses? Oh-I dream of doing that. I hope it's a great success and fun along the way!

Which shirts, Kim? The pink and yellow ones?
Also, yes, Daniel flips houses. He loves it. It is a lot of hard work, though. If you watch the shows, they make it look easy sometimes..we are definitely learning as we go!
