Fall Frenzy

Fall is definitely here and already seems to be flying by! The weather has turned chilly and we've been having quite a bit of rain. Hopefully we'll be able to enjoy the colorful trees and some sunshine this week. We have been busy with school, football games, projects, and playing outside while the weather still allows it! School is going really well for everyone. For this we are very thankful! The kids are blessed with great teachers again. We're just amazed at how much Troy is doing already in kindergarten. Things in which he seemed to have little interest before now excite him. He comes home with words written on pages and pictures colored beautifully and points out "popcorn" words when we are reading! :) Such fun!

Kamryn got an assignment from Mrs. VandenBosch (the music teacher) to make a musical instrument. (They had some instructions to follow.) So she talked to Mr. Klaver and got some plastic pipe stuff and put this contraption together. We had to laugh because it was SO Kamryn. She used black electrical tape and covered it practically everywhere. She found red playdough to plug up the ends. Here she is demonstrating how to blow into it. It does work-kind of!

Katie had to give a speech this week. She researched In-N-Out restaurant,our favorite CA hamburger place, and gave a speech about it. She had a paper hat and some cool stickers to hand out to everyone in the class! (Thanks, Dawn!)


Here's a typical night of father-son homework time at the kitchen table. :)

Katie and her friend Trina decorated these t-shirts Friday before the football game. We decided to pass on attending this one since it was pouring rain and quite cold out! They had fun, though!
