| We've had a busy month with 4 days down at the coast a few weeks ago, soccer games on the weekends, and school & other activities during the week. I wish life would just slow down and I had time to document more of what we've been doing. With being the mom AND teacher, I try to take moments to have fun with the kids in between all that we've been doing. It's during those times that I usually don't even have my camera, or remember all that was done, laughed about, or whatever.....just treasured memories. And I think my memory fades by the day. And my energy too.
The other evening, I had some fun out on the trampoline with the boys. I LOVE those moments, and wish they'd last forever.....even if they do wear me out!
Annual Pumpkin Picture
Such sweeties.....honestly, these two are my quietest & least demanding. And it's precious to watch them interact.
Pumpkin painting....a great afternoon project!
Ashlyn will be 6 months old this weekend, which I can hardly believe. Just tonight, she had her first bite of something other than mommy's milk.....some rice cereal. She scarfed it down........with the other 4 kids watching her and laughing at her the whole time. (seriously, now that would have been a picture, but I didn't even get it on video. ) In between bites she'd just smile! How is my baby girl growing up this fast? Half a year already??
Baby surrounded by pumpkins....she was quite fascinated with them.

Today, I was in the car with just my youngest two. It was SO quiet. Although Chandler does talk a bit more when the older 3 aren't there. We drove over a low water crossing and there was actually water in the creek (usually there is not).
I hear him from the back seat say "Hmmm."
Then he says to me "Mom, what does hmmm mean?"
I had to think....and so I responded with "Well, it means you are thinking about something.....and so you say hmmm."
He says "Thinking about what?"
"Anything that you see, I guess" I told him.
He says "So, when I'm thinking about water in that creek, I can say hmm?"
"Sure, buddy." I replied.
For the next few minutes in the car I kept hearing "Hmmm" every so often.
Guess he was thinking a lot! 
I need to record more of these funny conversations with my ever-learning & growing 4 year old! |
