Busy Family Day

We had a really fun day together. The girls had their first big Girl Scout event down in Phoenix yesterday. It was a Teddy Bear Picnic. They listened to stories, made crafts and had a picnic. Dave and I took Tyler to IKEA and he got to walk around and play in the kids furniture area.

Pretty Girls !

Closing Ceremony

After the Picnic we headed back to Globe for Faith Anne's first soccer game. They are really good and it was so much fun to watch them all play and get into the game.

This picture is blurry but I thought is was cute how the two defenders kicked at the same time as the ball passes them both by.

Tonight we are camping out in our backyard. Well, actually, Dave and the kids will be sleeping in the tent and Mommy will be sleeping in my comfy bed. I'll be there for the rest though :) I love Dave's long weekends!

Pinals Autumn Craft Day

Today for homeschool we took a trip to the Pinal Mountains and had a picnic and a hike. We discussed how the trees were different at the top of the mountain and why. Why the leaves change color and why the pinecones, acorns and leaves fall off the trees and how this helps nature prepare for Winter. The kids were so excited when they would find a good autumn leaf or an acorn. When we got home with our Autumn collections we made autumn patterns out of the items we collected and then made Autumn wreaths. We had a lot of fun! Have I said lately that I love homeschooling?

The things kids say!!!!

So we were riding in the car the other day and Faith Anne says "So Mommy, when I was in your yolk when you were a kid..." I stopped her and said "what?" She repeats "When I was in your yolk when you were a kid. " I said honey people don't have yolks and you weren't in my tummy when I was a kid." So she pauses for a moment and then says " So how did I get in your tummy then?" After I was able to think again and my heart started beating again I said " Well, honey, when God feels you should have a baby He makes you pregnant. But He only does that to grown ups." She said "Oh"

Why at 5 do I have to face these questions??? lol

Man I'm tired this week!!!!

I am soooo tired this week. Really no reason for it except being pregnant. I had such good energy the past few weeks and now none.

With that though I have gotten one coat of primer on the crib. Just one more and I can paint it! Yay! It's already starting to look pretty. I also found a really neat crib bedding that I like. It isn't the lavender like I had said before but it is really cute. Still I am having reservations because I was really wanting something more girly and shabby chic. We'll see I guess.

Well It is 6:30 and I think the kids are actually asleep. I should head off now too, so I can catch up on some sleep. Hopefully my brain will be quiet long enough so I can fall asleep. God Bless.
