First Day of Fall

We love the Fall season here. The weather cools, the trees are painted a beautiful collage of color. Football season is in full swing. It is just an exciting time!

We are going to do lots of fun things this Fall. Identify and collect leaves. Watch for migrating birds. Make lots of things with pumpkin as a main ingredient. Enjoy the wonderful weather and journal in our nature journals.

I am going to browse through a wonderful resource from Five in a Row, the Fall Nature Study. I think the kids and I will read through parts of it together. Today they are going to do an Autumn word search, and I hope to get out some paint and let them paint something in Fall colors.

Hmmm...I may feel the need for a new header soon!

And the winner is....

Remember when we did that play last year as a family? The Best Christmas Pageant Ever...


Well, the other night they had an awards ceremony for all the plays in the 2007-2008 season. Monkey won Best Actor in a Cameo Role - Jr. Division, for his role as Hobie Clark. He was sooooo thrilled! I won Best Actress in a Cameo Role for my role as Mrs. Slocum.


We had the best time doing the play in the first place. This is just icing on the cake! I hope to participate more in our community theatre in the years to come. I think I will be too unavailable until after the baby is around a year old. I hope we can attend some performances this year, just for fun.

Because you cannot get enough...

RIGHT???

Monkey: Mom, did you see those pictures of those girls wearing zuchinnis????

Uh, I think he meant bikinis! Will it ever stop? I hope not! That is LOL funny!

My New Favorite Song

Um, if you didn't know, I am a little OCD. If you don't know what that is, look it up, pretty textbook on a few of the symptoms. But anyway...

I am currently in love with this song, and I need to listen to it realllllllly loud. Sometimes with headphones on. If I worked out, it would definitely be on my playlist. If I had an iPod, it would be on in my ears non-stop. It is a really good way to drown out the noise of the kids...did I just type that out loud....oh well.

If you are not into rocking out...this song is not for you. However, if you have that moshpit, hands in the air, head banging rockstar deep down in your bones, you will probably like this.



This one is the acoustic version. Really pretty, so if you don't rock out, go for this one.
