Fall is FINALLY here after what seemed like the longest summer ever. I am so happy to be in sweatshirts, boots, walk in crunchy leaves and turn on that fireplace!
Parker finished out his first soccer season, and on his last game he scored his first (and only) goal. It was in the wrong goal, but he ran back screaming “I won ! I won!” And i was yelling like he’d won the championship. He really liked soccer and will probably play again in the spring.
Philip and I each took a kid on a date and our experiences were quite different. Ainsley got dressed up and went to a fancy restaurant where the waiter called her “Miss Overall”. She ordered her food by herself, used her manners, ordered “adult food” and chose water.
Parker had to be told not to lick the table, and he kept slipping bits of chicken and rice into his water cup.
We both had good quality time with each child, but maybe next time we can switch lol
We painted pumpkins with Uncle Bubby & fam- and Ainsley and AB lasted a lot longer than the other 2 at painting. But they all created pretty lil pumpkins.
Parker had a field trip to the orchard with his preschool class. He has a group of 3 other boys that are thick as thieves and he is really enjoying being around older boys. Not sure his teachers are loving it as much as he is :)
Anna Beth was also there on a field trip and we found her in the pumpkin patch!
We celebrated a couple birthdays of some sweet friends.
Liberty had family movie night in the gym and we packed our blanket up and went up to watch Charlie Brown and the great pumpkin and a Garfield Halloween. We chowed down on popcorn and Ainsley got really upset about Garfield and Odie being stuck in a haunted house, leading to lots of tears there and the ride home.
We had a family bonfire and the kids had a blast climbing on mud piles, digging in the dirt, riding 4 wheels and roasting marshmallows (Parker called them mushrooms).
Both of my kids are in a huge LEGO phase. Ainsley will sit and build hours on end going through each instruction by herself. Parker loves to build and create and tells everyone “my pop says I’m a great builder”.
