Fall Fun

I volunteered to do Art Cart for Elizabeth's class.  This was my first lesson.  We did color mixing...with frosting! 

How to achieve that beautiful purplish brown color!

Mom rocks at building the Lincoln Log cabins.

Beautiful tree in our yard.  It was the first to turn and first to lose all it's leaves. 

Working on reading with Daddy

Adult get-away weekend.  Are those smiles too big?

The kids got to go farming - win win for everyone! 

Mississippi Palisades Park 

Grass is still green but it's cold! 

"Look what I made Mom! Guess what it is!" Oh of course it is a butterfly turned into a birdie!

Grant's Field Trip

We had a fun trip to a local pumpkin farm.

Grant & Elle

It was a brisk hay rack ride!

New Class (the one with all those "new kids!")

Recent Funnies...

We were driving home from swimming and Grant said something to Elizabeth that she didn't care for and her response was "If I was your girlfriend would you treat me that way? The girls are not going to like that!"

One day after school Grant told me that the teacher was dividing up the class by birthday and he said his birthday was Oct 2.  I said "buddy, your birthday is in June." His response was "I didn't know that, I guess my teacher doesn't know either!"

When working with Elizabeth to count by tens we were saying "fifty, sixty, seventy, eighty, ninety, " and Grant interrupts and says "tenty!" He was so proud of himself.  We then introduced the words "one hundred".

Grant continues to be confused of how his birthday can come first, yet he is younger than Elizabeth.  This is a weekly conversation.

Elizabeth asked "When does Santa sleep?"

Grant: "What rhymes with hot dog? Fart dog!"  (this is a favorite that never gets old!)  He also learned a new song "I'm sassy and fat and I can change my color just like that!"
