Scent-sational

We have had an awesome transition into preschool this year. Little man has two teachers and they are so sweet, creative and fun that he has been excited to go! I think we have been the first one to arrive each day because he is ready to at the crack of dawn and begs me to put my shoes on so we can go! We wanted to let Mrs. T & Mrs. B know how much we appreciate them so we brought them mini reed difusers in a nice autumny, cinnamon scent. They seemed genuinely touched and little man was so proud to give them something.

Handprints

We often joke that little man is like the mouse from "If You Give A Mouse A Cookie" ...because he will ask for a glass milk! Perfect example: he asks for a snack. We open the pantry and he sees paint. This makes him want to finger paint. Next thing you know we are making handprint pictures. Then he wants to clean up. This leads to pouring the entire bottle of soap on the bathroom counter. Once his hands are clean he's hungry and ready for a snack.

Summer o' Golf

This has been a golfing summer for little man!!  He has been playing a ton, both on the course and in our backyard. He has his own bag, clubs and even a golf glove. He is fascinated by hitting the ball into the water so it has become something special he's allowed to do after they play 9 holes. He also tagged along for a golf tournament with his dad, grandpas and (future) uncle. He already hits the ball better than his mama!

9 months

This post is a bit overdue, about 2.5 weeks to be exact, oops! I suppose it's partly because I am in denial that my newborn baby girl is (now over) 9 months old!! ...and she has three teeth! She loves going to the pool. She kicks and giggles when I get out the sun screen. She loves singing and clapping her hands. She really loves bath time. After bath she likes to play and giggles at herself all of the way up until bedtime.  She loves to roll around on the floor with her brother. He is her favorite person. I can already see they have a special relationship.

Wordless Wednesday

Baby Bird

Such sweet best friends these two are :) Big brother is feeding little sister yogurt drops in the checkout line. 

New Bookcase

I picked up a small, inexpensive bookcase to house children's books. The hubs and assembled it (ugh) after the littles went to bed and they were so excited when they woke up you would've thought it was Christmas morning!! Little man dressed himself and told me he "had work to do." Next thing I know he has a pencil behind his ear and is reading the instructions! He kept telling me no pictures he was busy! 

The kids have been spending a lot of time in the new book nook! We have had books everywhere!
