What The Kids Are Up To

004

My big kid is keeping busy in school. He has homework everyday, and reading to do most nights too. He is really enjoying first grade so far, but trust me this big kid is looking forward to the long weekend.

The little guy is ready for Football to come back already! He also starts pre-school next week. He is a little excited, but a little nervous too. I know he will do great though.

The Little Miss is crawling, sitting, and getting into everything in sight. She is one busy gal.

To The Park

Every once in a while Dylan won’t want to go home after we drop off  Thade. Last week we had one of those days, so I decided to take the little kiddos to the park to play.

The morning light was beautiful.

0012

The park was so quiet too.

I can’t wait for Fall, I love the park in the Autumn.

The ducks were at another lake, so we didn’t get to see them this time.

Dylan was really excited to be at the park.

Agnes was having some troubles with allergies, but she enjoyed watching Dylan climb and run around.

Before we knew it, it was time to head back home.

Hopefully we’ll see some cooler temps and more trips to the park.

The Last Summer Flowers

The last of the Summertime flowers have bloomed in the yard.

I see Mums popping up in all of the stores, that is surely a sign that Fall will be here soon.

Agnes happily played in the yard.

I’ll miss the Summer Lillies, but I’ll happily trade them for Autumn days.

Pink + Blue

I had a friend ask me if I would make Cupcakes and Mints for a baby shower for two families. I said sure, and I had a lot of fun putting the treats together.

There are pink and blue mints.

There are pink and blue cupcakes too.

The kiddos were happy to taste test the cupcakes and mints too.
