Fun Fall Weekend

This weekend was a fun one!  We did so many things and got to see so many people!

On Saturday, we went to the Lochhaas' out in the country.  The kids got to ride on a horse for the very first time!  They did so good, and can't wait to go back.  We also got to visit with family that we do not get to see very often.  Hopefully we can make this a reunion and do it every year!  On Sunday we went to the Faith Fellowship annual picnic. The kids played hard again, I'm sure it's going to be hard to get up for school on Monday!

Logan missing the girls

Here is a picture of Logan's artwork from school today. He said he was sad and missed his sisters. They had to stay home and go to the doctor. Nora has two ear infections. So far all Clara has is a cough. Let's hope it stays that way!

Logan playing in the puddles

Today we went up to Carlinville for the family reunion on the Moyer-Schwaab side. We had a lot of fun, as usual. We really only get to see that part of the family once a year at the reunion so it is always great to catch up.

Logan took his rain boots and played a bit in the puddles!

Logan was laying out outfits for his 1st day of school

1st day of preschool

Well, we had no tears!!! (ok except for mommy & maybe daddy)  The kids are attending St Mark's Mini School in Florissant for preschool.  They were so excited, I hope that they have a fun day and I can't wait to start hearing about every single day and everything they are going to start learning.  Below are some pics from this morning, if you want to see all 53 (yes this mommy went a little crazy with photos) you can see the album on google here. 

Today's weird stuff

I always expect the unexpected, but it doesn't stop me from sharing it with everyone else!

The untraditional seat

Someday she won't be able to do this. Until then, it isn't the end of the world to let her do it. :-)

Clara singing

Clara just might start herown band. Or perhaps she will be a one man band? Either way, here is her version of Itsy Bitsy Spider.

Preparing for school!

It's Labor Day weekend! Which means I have an extra day of fun... I mean organization. The house is a mess, I have about 6 loads of laundry downstairs and we are out of food. The kids start school on Wednesday, so I have to use my extra day to get us a little more organizes and prepared. 

I also rearranged my cabinets, for like the fifth time this year, because the kids are just getting into the food and then not eating what I fixed for them. Plus they like to help me empty the dishwasher and now they can reach where their cups and plates go. 

On today's agenda I will be going to Sam's to stock up on food that according to my new food schedule/calendar should last us for the month. We shall see about that. Then we are heading to Grandma and Grandpa Sanders for a BBQ.

Tomorrow... Laundry!
