Tweites


We finally got to make our trip to Tweites today! I was worried it would be a little chilly, but once the sun came out and we were moving around it was actually really nice. We had a great time, there is so much to see and do! We could have definitely spent another couple hours there but it was well past nap time and we were all losing a little bit of steam. Beau loved all the little houses to crawl through and the BIG slide. Plus we got to go through a corn maze...he always notices and comments on the corn when we are out driving somewhere so I think it was cool for him to actually get to be IN the corn. We got to take a wagon ride out to the pumpkin patch, which he also liked. The pumpkin patch was a little dangerous for shuffling little feet with all of the vines, but he had a good time trying to pick the pumpkins anyway. By the time we were done wandering around the patch Beau wasn't really in the mood to pose for any pictures with his pumpkins, but as Luke was pulling him back to the entrance in the wagon I was walking behind and out of the blue heard a sweet little voice say "I'm having fun mom!" I said "Good! I'm glad". To which he responds "I'm glad too." Definitely makes me thankful that we took a day to spend just doing fun stuff as a family.

Around here.....

Here's just a little snapshot of what life looks like right now. Around here we're starting to get into the basketball season.  Both Beau and Cora are participating in traveling basketball through SYBA.  The crazy weekends of tournaments haven't started yet, but they're both having practice regularly.  Luke will be the assistant coach to Cora's team this year.  Sylvie will get to play too, but her season won't start until January and is one game on Saturday mornings in town. Around here are three kids are going to religion class on Wednesday nights, I'm teaching Cora's 3rd grade class.  Between that and basketball practice it's rare to have a weeknight where we are all home. Around here we're getting excited for the holidays!  I'm starting in on some shopping, planning and thinking about getting the house decorated.  The kids are getting Christmas lists made, and my desk is full of December Daily prep work.  Around here I...

WITL Day 5 - Friday

Friday began, as predicted, with a steady soaking rain and I was glad I switched my run to yesterday.  At 5am Georgia decided I've hit the snooze button enough, puts her paws up on the bed and licks my hands until I get up.  She didn't get the same glad feeling about not getting to head out on a run, and lay pouting by the front door. I fill her food bowl while the coffee brews, and she decides that if we can't run she'll ask to be repeatedly let in and out instead.  The result was lots of muddy paw drying. Around 6 Luke leaves for work and Georgia settles down.  The house is finally quiet and still and I'm thankful for the few minutes of peace. It's daycare appreciation day, and this year I am showered with gifts from my families.  It definitely adds a boost to the otherwise dreary and slow start to the day.  As the kids are packing their bags for school I find that some homework has been neglected throughout the week.  I'm ...

Not The Only One

Another Halloween has come and gone.  This year we had a dinosaur, vampire, and Snow White (returning for the second year in a row).   Holidays like this are always such a stark reminder of just how not babies my babies are.  Once again I just wasn't in the Halloween spirit this year.  We didn't even go to a pumpkin patch or apple orchard.  The few free hours we had were cold and rainy and the kids weren't in to it.  I definitely wasn't into it. This year, as if I needed more of a reminder of how fast my kids' childhood is slipping away, the social media trend seemed to be "Halloween from years gone by".  Everyone, at least in my "friend" feed was posting year to year Halloween pictures of their kids.   As I was busy liking and loving everyone's past Halloweens I came across a post that stopped me in my tracks.  In her post she stated that she felt like the Scrooge of Halloween and that what was once fun now felt like ...
