Neglect

I know that I've been neglecting my blog.  Between school, homework, real work, soccer and my furniture event, I feel like I go non stop but still don't get everything done!  Last week Brennan got to go on his first school field trip.  I also went as a chaperon.  They went to Hollabaugh Brothers to learn about apples.  It was a fun little trip and they each came home with 5 apples that they picked.  I'm also volunteering in the classroom one day a week for an hour and half each time.  I help with their center activities and writing.  It's fun.  It's amazing that already Brennan is reading several words.  He's learning to sound things out and can write some words correctly and others come close.  He's also mentioned learning the difference between fiction and non fiction, what a caption is, about primary colors and making secondary colors among other things.  This week they are having a special event at the school.  It's some kind of ho down with a musician who has been serving as an artist in residency.  Brennan's been singing a few cute songs that I think are part of the program.

Jace is getting used to going seperate ways in the morning.  He's into saying "Aw Man!"  Tonight he told me that the needed a kid lighter...he wanted to start a fire.  Sorry, little dude they don't make those in your size!  I think Jace has completely lost his baby look now, he's such a little man!



This was at the park a few weeks ago.  Enjoying Mommy's Friday off.




The boys and I caught these fireworks on our way back from Fulton County Labor Day weekend.  They loved them.  They were telling Daddy about them in their sleep.


The boys are excited to rake leaves...good thing, we might have a couple!

Maybe a bigger pile for jumping into?

Always looking adorable for school

Our bus stoop


This is what goes on in my living room...and bedroom.


Some of Brennan's work from kindergarten




Fall fog...fresh hair cuts.




One of the pieces that I just finished.  Check out my event here.  Join us this Saturday!!

Feels like Fall

Last weekend (Labor Day weekend) we were swimming in the pool (and creek).  This weekend we had to break out pants and jacket.  It certainly felt like fall today.  Brennan started soccer on Saturday and he scored his first goal:)  He was into the game, it was fun to watch!  Today, we took a walk in the woods and had a low key day at home.  The boys sure love being outside.  They both love walking in the woods and their new swings.  Jace still asks for tractor (mower) rides CONSTANTLY and they often get from place to place in their Gator.   They are quite the pair.

Go Bubba!



Last weekend, fishing with Daddy




This was at another creek a few weekends ago but I don't think that I posted these




















Happy Birthday Grandma!  (And Uncle Ryan)  Both celebrated their birthdays this week:)


Nate built the boys a few really cool swings.
This is the tire swing.  It has a net type of seat.


And the regular wood swings

He also made these cute chairs


Pretty nice set up!






I love this one!

He would swing all day....

It's made for 2!





Beautiful day for a walk in the woods



Sunday selfie

You must take a snack, just in case!






Somewhere over the rainbow...it was prettier in person
