September 2013

The days are flying by...

We had a good summer and then the busyness of school came and of fall routines.  I am actually glad for getting back into a routine but the first two weeks were the toughest. 

Of course on the first day of school we are always running a bit behind what with trying to haul all the school supplies and Kleenex boxes there for the rest of the year. 

 The weather was nice so they got to wear just their summer clothes and we had to save the back to school warmer fall clothes for next week.  This is Evan starting grade 2....

Here is Megan heading out and starting grade 6!  Wowzie! 

Having to change schools was quite the challenge and change for all of us.  Evan fit in really easily and had minor adjustments to his teacher.  Megan --- well it was a bit trickier.  Things are much better now and hopefully we can only go up from here. 

Aaron started preschool this year and loves it....he doesn't quite understand why Megan and Evan get to go everyday be he only goes Monday and Wednesdays? 

A few other things that we did this month....we attended the city sheep farewell....they are brought in every year to help trim the grass and people can pet them etc...

 So we fed the apples, carrots and leaves from the trees.  Evan and Aaron were a bit unsure about feeding the sheep since you had to hold the apples in your hands and not get bitten in the process but I think they both succeeded a few times. 

Here is my little sheep....he fits right in with the herd don't you think?

Spencer and I celebrated our 13 wedding anniversary.  We kept it low key this year.....hopefully spencer is planning to take me away for our 15th anniversary!  Hint, Hint!
