Fall Break: Part I

We hit up our local library for a morning during Fall Break. We were invited into the area where the books were sorted. It was quite fascinating.

Emma and Myles harvested Emma's sunflower seeds. My goal is to season and roast them today.

And we enjoyed having friends over in the backyard. It's been too quite since the Cramers left!

The Youngest

I think there are definite perks to being the youngest child and I can say this as the youngest in my own family. Myles and I are palling around this last year before he starts full-day Kindergarten next year. He is very inquisitive. He is especially curious about how things are made. I've resorted to YouTube to answer some of these questions: How are bullets made? How is water made? How do they make shoes? How do they make pillows? ***And so on and on and on!!  I've actually enjoyed listening to these videos and learning more myself.

"How bullets are made."

Spending waaaaaay longer than planned at Sam's Club to accommodate the children's book section.

The occasional afternoon nap in my bed.

All the creations with magformers and legos.

He caught a "butterfly" aka grasshopper. I wasn't going to pop his bubble though--I mean, look at that smile.

Getting creative for our Pre-K snacks for Halloween.

This little man has my heart and it's a good thing otherwise he may not make it to the end of each day. :)

Cub Scouts and Primary Program

Luke earned his "Wolf" in Cub Scouts. He had some great leaders that made it a lot of fun for him. He is sad that Cub Scouts is going away at the church level. We'll have to see what we can help supplement this program with.

The kids also had their Primary Program. They each memorized their parts and spoke clearly into the microphone. We had no idea what our wild card, Myles, would do, but he was quite charming if I do say so myself. :)

I failed to get a picture of all the children, but Bryan did sneak this photo of Mr. Myles.

We did enjoy some Sunday afternoon snuggles and games. I love when I don't have any church obligations after church and get to just chill at home!
