Just a few things I LOVE

I have taken some pictures the last few weeks and meant to post about them, but now I can't remember the clever things I wanted to write. Needless to say these are photos of a few things I love!!

1. Kevin playing with the kiddos. It's their favorite thing to do.

2. Lilly enjoying the big huge lollipop that grandpa and grandma brought back from their Disney World trip.

3. I finally put together a little mini album from our CALI trip this summer.

4. It is cooling down just a little. We have had a few evenings at the park and we are thrilled to play outside.5. This outfit that Lilly wears to school.

6. My little chef.

7. The fruit market. Only my dad and I get this excited about fruit.

8. My new hair.

Long time no blog

I wish that I had something cool to say or something that is very interesting but I don't. Life is going well and going by fast. Did anyone else notice that Halloween stuff has been out for weeks and that they already have Christmas at Costco. I'm glad that the stores are trying to help me get a jump start on the holidays but no, I think I will be stubborn and procrastinate like I do every year.

Preschool is going so well. It is just a joy to teach my class. Now that we have gotten into a routine, the kids are catching on so quick. I love the observations that they make and all the connections they are making with the sounds. I really should be taking more pictures of the fun things we do. Here is one of the kids favorite activity using play dough to make their name.

In the afternoons Max is my little companion. Yesterday he was a good sport and went to the mall with me. The little guy fell asleep in the dressing room. I guess he took the shop till you drop thing literally. Now before you go on thinking that I'm so mean for making Max shop for hours. The shopping trip was only 1 1/2 hours and two stores. It is was worth it b/c I took back some shirts that I ordered and got some that I love. The day was a success. Today he helped me fold clothes. He now knows that he can fold all the dish towels and washcloths so that is his job. As a reward we played Hungry Hungry Hippo. This week I was reminded again how truly blessed I am to be home and to love what I do. I love playing with Max, I love being home for Lilly when she comes home from school. I even love cooking dinner and doing laundry. I'm just so grateful for the moments that I have with my family.

Labor Day

Our Labor day was well spent with family and friends. John and Jonathan put together the most amazing asado!!! If I were Rachael Ray I would say YUM-O!!!! Really the food was delish!!! Thanks John, you are welcome at our house any time. (John you look a little funny in this picture but the meat looks great)

So what do 10 kids do while they are waiting for dinner. They jump on the trampoline. It was still a bit warm outside. Who am I kidding it was hot and will be hot until October. But kids are resilient they won't a little heat stop them.
