The mummy winners-Noelle, Olivia, Gavin and Sumaria

Afterward Av left school to go home with Noelle.  They were going to Olivia's bday party that night and Noelle's mom was taking Av for me.  It was Av's first real big girl going home with another kid time ever.  It made me soooo happy but so sad at the same time.  Hate she is growing so fast and needing me less and less.  She was soooooo excited.  She didn't get home until 9 and I was worried she would really be dragging but that was not even close to reality.   She was bouncing off the walls.  Couldn't stop bouncing.  She was so happy.  I love seeing her that way.  Just hard when you are not the one making her that happy.

Look at how this cool girls wears her backpack

Remember when everyone went to the one shoulder carry??  Well this is the new version of that I guess.

Camille can write her name

She actually has been able to for about a month and a half.  Just hadn't gotten it on here yet.

Some of the fall pics

life

It's been too long again since my last post.  No excuse other than busy busy busy.  Last week was pretty uneventful.  Same ol' sam ol' but it was a good week. J was gone Wed and Thursday and we survived like we always do.  My parents and sis came for the weekend.  It was great and such a nice weekend.  They didn't get in till late friday so we didn't see them.  On Saturday we woke and had a nice am just hanging and relaxing.  We had C's soccer game and fam pics on Sat.  I committed that I would have pics of the kids taking once a year and J and I would be in them every other year.  J and i were in them the year I was prego with E so this was our year again.  Since my fam was going to be here I made them be in a few.  They were thrilled.  hehehehh I have only seen 3 but so far they are amazing!!!!  Can't wait to see the rest.  Sat night my sis cooked us a yummy meal.  We cooked, played, had pumpkin beer, watched football and hung Sat night.  It was soooooooooo nice.  Sunday we got up and went to boot camp before they left.  It was sooo sad to see them leave.  Short trip so nice of them to come.  The weather has been so pretty we have been outside a lot.  Love it.  We have not at all taken advantage of the fall festivals this year like we should be.  We had 2 on Sunday we should have went to but we didn't.  Not really sure why but we have been happy at home so I guess that is just as good.  This week has been nothing exciting either which is good!!  J is home and life is normal.  Love it!!!!

E discovered his pockets

I've enabled my loungy monster

E is a loungy kid.  He loves his bed and he wakes up very slowly and usually doesn't want to leave his bed.  Most mornings and nap times I have to wake him.  He is not a kid that cries to let us know he is awake and wants up.  He lays there quietly until we go up there.  When I do wake him, he does not want to get up right away.  He lays there lounging for as long as he pleases.  He loved the addition of the turtle to his bed and when he gets up we have to take it with us.  Anyway the turtle has buttons on it and he can play with them and turn it on himself.  Like a night light he has access to and can turn on himself.  His room is super dark so the stars really light the room up nicely.  When I go in there in the morning I know right away if he is awake or not.  If he is awake there are stars everywhere from his turtle.  Since it is getting colder out and we don't want to keep the heat high we have all started relying on blankets more.  He needed a bigger one that he could really get under to keep him warm when needed so we went out and picked him out a blanket yesterday.  He loves it but I think it tipped the scale.  It might have been the last straw and now he is really really really hard to get him to leave his bed.  He is just like his daddy!!  Here he is yesterday after his nap refusing to get up.
