Fall Time

We've hit the half way point in this pregnancy and I am feeling more like myself, so  now comes trying to make up for my lack of energy this summer and make the most of our fall. We sat down as a family and made a fall bucket list and am working our way through the list. On that list, play in the leaves. The weather has been perfect so we headed out in search of fall and found it!   

I may or may not have had more fun watching them play than they did throwing the leaves at each and exploring. These days really are the best and I couldn't be happier.

Rainy Day

We had a stretch of rainy days and were all feeling a bit restless. Luckily, I had stocked up my art supplies the week before so we were ready to go! (not sure why the coloring is weird, sorry)

 Reegan loves arts and crafts and can sit still and color for hours. Gavin not as much. His attention span is much shorter, but he loves these activities for a little while.

 We colored pilgram and indian masks and decorated trees I drew on paper with pumpkin and leaf stickers. I made applesauce with the last of apples we got from the orchard.

Love these kiddos and the days that I get to spend with them!

Kindergarten

I cannot believe I forgot to share Reegan's first day of preschool. We switched to a different church preschool this year, because the other one was just a little too far to drive for 2 1/2 hours, three times a week from our new house. We missed meet the teacher and see the classroom day because Reegan was throwing up, but she was ready when the first day arrived. 

She was so excited. 

They do things very differently at this school, including starting and ending the day with music time. Here the director is showing Reegan who her teacher is. 

 While the girl is away, this little guy and I have some one-on-one time. Some days we run errands, other days we stay at home and play, just the two of us. We both love it. He gets to pick any toy he wants to play with and doesn't have to worry about Reegan taking over.

Once we pull into parking lot in the mornings, the director gets them from the car and takes them inside. Once we pull into the line, Reegan gets to get out of her carseat and sit in the front seat. She thinks she is pretty special!
