fall house tour

Now that we are a good three weeks into fall, I thought I would show you what fall looks like in our home.

Now, I am definitely ready for the weather to cool down and stay cool so that I can wear some sweaters and boots and drink some caramel apple cider!!!  What are some of your favorite things about fall?

Parent Days

Grace and Carter had Parent Day at school and John and I were able to go to both!  We are always excited to see them in their classrooms with their teacher and friends.

Carter's Parent Day was first and fell on Hillbilly Day. 

They did the pledges and Carter got to lead the pledge to the Bible.  They also said their Bible verses, sang songs (sort of), and helped retell some of the Bible stories that they had been learning.

Then, each kid picked an apple with a letter and a leaf with a number.  After they named the letter or number and said the sound of the letter, they put it up on the apple tree.  Carter managed to get his "B" apple and "2" leaf at the very top of the tree.  He's not at all competitive...ha!

Before we left, we got to help Carter make a beautiful butterfly!

Grace's Parent Day was next.  It was a wacky tacky kind of day!

Grace and her class also did the pledges and  sang some songs.  Then, they played all kinds of fun review games to impress us with their Bible knowledge and reading and spelling skills.

Before we left, the kids WOWed us with some awesome reading!!!

We are so thankful for these days!  We love their school and their teachers and all the amazing things that they are learning!!!

And, guess what?  No one even cried when it was over.  Winning!

This is a completely acceptable meal, right?

I received an early birthday gift from my favorite little boy.  When he saw that I had put them in a vase, he said "Do you like me?"  "Yes!"  I replied.  With a shy little smile, he asked "You want to get married again?  To me?"

We celebrated Tripp's birthday at Pump It Up!!!

My sweet class gave me this super cute gift basket for my birthday!!!

And, my kiddos gave me lots of goodies and notes!
