the rest of September in a nutshell

 

Sophie likes to play rough and asks her dad to play rough with her often.  He has to tone it down for Tessa and Jacob, but they all love it!

 

I nabbed this slide from craig’s list for 20 bucks, to try and get the kids more interested in playing in the backyard.

 

We went up to the mountains on a Sunday afternoon to see the fall leaves, we didn’t find many leaves that had turned but I set up the tripod and the timer and took a few family pictures.

 

  

Sophie is learning to spell phonetically, and I love it!  I think its so so cute.  Look at the paper below, she spelled “sprcalfaulisxbaladosis” (think Mary Poppins).

 

One morning when I came out of the shower and the girls were freaking out saying that there was a little red scorpion on the tree in the backyard!  I told them to stay away from it so it didn’t pinch them and that I would be out there as soon as I could get dressed.  I grabbed my camera and ran out to see this… look closely, it’s just a dead ear wig in the bark.  Such drama queens!

Jacob and the lemon, I think these faces are just so hilarious!  Why he keeps putting it in his mouth I do not know!!  When I pulled these up I was laughing out loud, I love you Jacob.
