Fall leaves

Its took two days to do but we got it done. I came up with a decorative idea for inside the house that we could do on our own. So we and got some construction paper yarn and I got out my creative drawings skills haha. Leaves are in our window.

Decided to do the other two windows in the living room. Fall leaves all done.

WE'RE LOST

Today I decided that instead of our usual do something around the house or "window shopping" that's not fun for the kids, we'd go get lost in a corn maze. I forgot to take pictures at the findings (scavenger hunt in the maze) but it was hard pushing the stroller around to remember to.

As much as I was scared Brianna would start whining about walking around every where. She didn't and when I wanted to call it quits and find the exit she didn't want to. We did find all the items though which is what she wanted. And afterward I let both kids have some run around time. Brianna took to the slides and Preston took to the sand box. Brianna didn't get to go on the cow rides (pulled by a tractor big buckets made up to look like cows) but I promised we'd go again was daddy was there to help me.

Safety expo

We did a family outing to go to the safety expo at the fair grounds and met up with a new friend :) didnt take to many pictures but it was interesting. Bri got to go in the fire trucks and ambulance and police cars. They did a free lunch and the helicopter showed up just in time for us to make it the last thing we saw.

First haircut

squirmed and screamed but his hair is officially out of his eyes and off his neck.  Maybe next time he'll get a better job done.

Clayton was happier after he did his hair.

Dance!!

Today was first day of dance (well actually we missed the first day but still). And preston could see through the window on his own this year.

Preschool

Today was Brianna`s first day of preschool. She was really excited for it and didnt even cop a fuss when dropping her off. And shes all ready to go back tomorrow. I do have a bit of a drive to the school but her getting out there and actually enjoying it is worth it. She told me the teacher has one helper every day and she hopes to be the helper tomorrow. She does show and tell every Wednesday although it doesnt start for a couple weeks. They focus on one letter a week that goes with a theme. I'm so proud of her. So proud of myself too. Came home and only cried a little bit. Not because I'm used to having her around and missed her but because she's in preschool. She growing up. This year is going to fly by and soon kindergarten registration will be here :( at least I have 4 years before Preston enters I guess.

Ducks

Yesterday we went to the park and to lunch with papa and grandma schmidling. It was a nice outing. The ducks and geese stayed in the pond for the most part. Papa only had to shoo the geese back once.. pretty interesting watching them hiss at you.
