Sorry for taking so long to get back to the blog. We have been SO busy!
My mom was here last week. It was so great for her to be here. She spoiled the children immensely---took them to McDonald's to get breakfast before school, let them eat ice cream, bought them a ton of clothes, and read them story after story. I know it's what grandma's are supposed to do but it is amazing to see how much my children have transformed the woman who raised me. Not at all the same person.
Our Saturday's have been spent watching football---Clemson football. Since they have started out 6-0, we have been glued to their performance on Saturday's. Our neighbors, Russ & Kim, come over with their children/friends, April & Cole come over, and we cheer on the Tigers with lots of good food and fun. The kids play and we watch the game. That food, friendship, and WINNING, has made it a great fall!
Sunday we went to my in-laws for lunch after church. I got to visit with my sweet nephews Silas and Eli. We got to go for a walk to see the leaves changing and then drove up the top of Skyuka Mountain in NC to see the leaves. Another week or so and the leaves are going to be perfect!
The children are doing great. Ian is doing extremely well in school. Mostly A's and a few B's. This week, we have been doing a report on black widow spiders and building a model of a spider. Ian loves science and history so it has been a lot of fun doing projects and reading with him.
Will has managed to stay on green every single day since school started. We all know how big of a deal that is! We have been singing the 5 little pumpkins song over and over every day. He is also spending a lot of time drawing. I like that a lot more than flipping upside down off the couch!
Maggie is in the midst of potty training and she is breezing through. It is hard to believe she is old enough to be in this stage. She is learning her animal sounds and loves to read.
Thanks for being patient while I took time to catch my breath!
