common commotion

With school underway we've settled into a routine!
It was a bumpy start coming off Summer and then having homework.  We went through an adjust period.  This tent was earned with a lot of hard work resulting in a great spelling test!
Friday night and Saturday night she slept here on the playroom floor!
 Yay for army sleeping bags!  Our Happy Camper

 Another trip to Dino park!  This place is fantastic! Our weather has been unseasonably warm and we are taking every advantage! 


strange creature

strange swing- hahaha
Germans really know how to do parks!  It's pretty much a giant
basket that you crawl in and swing!

busy boy!

 The pumpkins were out! Its pumpkin time!!!!!  Dino park was decorated with livestock pumpkin creatures! (with amazing detail to certain body parts!)

the cactus garden at dino park

the rose garden still had its late summer blooms!


hard at work!

a mastodon! 

she was intrigued 
 Homework is an everyday commotion LOL!  Annabelle is finishing her spelling scrabble page and using spellingcity.com this has been a life saver!



Sam is practicing his fine motor skills! 

carebears?! yes

such concentration! 

Linley drew this for homework and then it was proudly displayed in the kinder hallway! 
 WOW!  Do your kids do this? A morning fashion show??? 
They're looking ready to learn!  Another day older and another day smarter!


 Park play! As I said we are taking every opportunity to get out and soak up some sun! Caroline is an expert at all the park equipment- even the big kid slides! 


she's tellin me I can NOT have her ball- mean face!

weeee down the slide it goes!
 More after school fun!  


Bat boy!  My mom sent Sammy this sweatshirt last yr sometime and it was a little big- fits perfectly now!!! and boy does he enjoy it!!!  He walked around flapping his wings all day!!!!!  LOL

Caroline has always been fairly independent- and now she doesn't want our help fro anything! She packed her bag and walked down all by herself.  I think she looks like a tiny Yiayia!



Another success story- Linley got 100% on her sight word test. 
 These are celebratory cupcakes!  Yummo!
