Watch out for this pink powerhouse coming your way! Danny used his savings to buy a used electric scooter, and even though he had to settle for pink to get the most bang for his buck, he’s loving his new set of wheels! The other day, I told him to go slow because the driveway was wet with slippery leaves, and he said, “I can’t! This thing goes either fast or zero miles per hour!” Ha ha, this kid is full speed ahead!
I love these papers Susie brought home from school. The first one is an essay in response to the question: “Why are you the most awesome 4th grader?” and the second is an “all about me” sheet she did at the beginning of the year. I love getting to peek inside her thoughts (especially when she calls ME her hero)!
Jimmy is a never-ending source of amusement for us. Here he is sporting his “Go-Pro” that he insisted on wearing to film some of his bicycling antics (being a bike pro is a serious business, don’t you know):
And here he is, at home sick from school, but still determined to eat the entire giant-sized carrot from our refrigerator. He did it, too! He just cracks us up!
Last week, we attended the boys’ Fall Social at their school. It was fun to see how excited they were to see their friends outside of the classroom. And we loaded up at the Book Fair, as always! But my favorite part was watching all five of my kiddos play with the “imagination playground” equipment in the courtyard. They had a blast building forts, knocking them down, and just scrambling over all the pieces. Wish we could have a set in our own backyard!
Jimmy’s turn to get a glowing note home from his teacher. We’re so proud! We took the kids (and the car) to a self-serve wash last weekend. They thought it was awesome! We can’t wait until we can have a fully kid-serve car wash at our house! 😉
I found this note the other day, and laughed out loud when I read it. Apparently Becky was taking notes on everything that Susie and Jimmy were doing for a few minutes (both she and Susie think it would be fun to be a journalist, and they like “investigating” various incidents around the house). It’s a bit of a peek into our crazy home – I love it!
Our family was delighted to be invited to our friends’ Fall Party last weekend. The weather was warm and bright, and we had so much fun playing games, carving pumpkins, and hanging out by the bonfire. Such a fun evening!
The kids had too much fun with a friend’s costume wig!
Hard to believe we’re swimming in mid-October!! It was so wonderful to sit outside and watch my family enjoy the water and also take in the gorgeous leaves. This is my kind of fall!
My girls are generally positive, enthusiastic kids (with the exception I noted before, of Becky insisting she doesn’t like school, even though all signs point to her truly enjoying it and thriving there!). At any rate, it’s not that unusual for them to get excited about things. However, we were at a store at the mall the other day and the girls were OVER THE TOP excited. The moment we stepped into the door of the tween-clothing store Justice, the girls were BONKERS with joy. There were actual squeals of excitement over each and every item featuring unicorns and/or sequins. Becky danced around, breathed in deeply, and exclaimed, “This store expresses my FEELINGS!!!!” Clearly, Justice has done its market research, and my girls are very much in their target population! So grandparents take note, I think most anything from this store (including the sparkly unicorn hooded blanket featured in the picture below) would be a slam-dunk for a Christmas gift this year, lol! 😉 .
