Everybody wanted to watch Ben use his electronics time today.
Kaitlyn
Kaitlyn decided to give her new curling method another try.
Tonight we decorated our tree.
The last 6 hours always feel eternal.
A quick goodbye to Gram before we get on the road.
Stockings came early in Collierville.
Second Thanksgiving – with local family!
Kaitlyn was excited to get a new bike last year at home. She tried really hard to learn to ride without training wheels but never got the hang of it. Yesterday she picked up this bike at Granny and Pop’s house. She hopped on and started riding like she had been doing it for years. No wobbling, no hesitation, and she was off!
First Thanksgiving – with family that has to leave on Wednesday.
Kaitlyn couldn’t wait to play with Aunt Emmy’s old dollhouse.
Bedtime books by Pop.
Roadtrip to TN.
Birthday donuts.
Kaitlyn informed us it was “Cup Stacking Week.”
Another afternoon of running. The race is coming soon!
Kaitlyn can always convince Wade to play a game.
Today was a chilly Girls On The Run – a scarf around the mouth was Kaitlyn’s solution.
Sunday lineup.
A rare Saturday morning when all four watch cartoons (even for a moment).
I’m not sure what renewed Kaitlyn’s interest in Burch locks, but she asked for them all night long.
I love these two book worms.
Kaitlyn has taken to sleeping with a sleep mask on and I think it is the cutest thing.
Kaitlyn was in charge of dinner. She had to rub her spice into the meat but really disliked using her hands on the raw meat. She finally agreed to close her eyes and go for it.
Game night!
Sunday lineup.
Soccer!
Kaitlyn got out all of the vet toys and played for hours.
Magnatiles for the win!
Kaitlyn’s teacher invited a few parents into the classroom to help teach the students to weave (on looms made of straws).
Happy Halloween!
(Ben – an alien spaceship, Kaitlyn -spider, Alex – Waldo, Teague – soldier)
One of Alex’s friends left his mask at our house after the party last weekend. Kaitlyn decided to have a little fun with it.
Sorry!
Only my two youngest were interested in carving pumpkins this year!
This is what I love to see at soccer. (Although it’s fun to see a good play or goal every now and then too.)
Kaitlyn is obviously a favored child. Only she would convince Alex to share a bite of his ice cream.
We have had the craziest weather lately. It has been VERY warm and everyone has enjoyed being outside this week.
I came to tell Kaitlyn goodnight and couldn’t find her. She was in her little “nest” trying to use the rest of her iPad time – after bedtime. Silly girl.
Making pizzas for dinner.
Sunday Lineup. Because it’s fall they wanted to pose on a hale bale.
Granny sent a Halloween box. Amazingly, all the kids were home to open it and call her to thank her.
These guys can’t wait for Friday nights and a new episode of Lego Masters.
Fun Run today!
Girls On The Run again today. That means more bracelets!
On crazy school nights, we watch TV all together.
Kaitlyn came home today with a Stargazer award for Responsibility. She was very proud and couldn’t wait to tell me that two of her teachers had nominated her.
