I can't believe its September!!

Where is time going??  Seriously.... September!

This is the time of year that FLIES by.  Halloween, Birthdays, Thanksgiving, Christmas & then its New Years & then we're welcoming 2014. It just is so busy it flies!

Speaking of.... I did the kids' fall clothes shopping this week.  Besides a few more socks, new tennis shoes & a few more sporty pants for the boys, I'm done.  Most of their shirts from last year still "fit" well enough to wear to daycare & around at home, so I didn't need too much.  For the new stuff I did get them, I got Hayden either 5T or big boys size 4-5/XSmall & size 11 shoes!  Olivia is either a 4T or 5T depending on the brand & how long you want it to fit.  And an itty, bitty, size 8 shoe.  Logan is a 4T (with a 24 month waist) & a size 9 shoe.

And I got a jump start on some Christmas shopping.  It just that time of year that when you see something, you better just buy it or it might be gone when you get around to going back.

We rang in September, celebrating Addie & Ava's September birthdays at Jeff's parents house.  I can't believe the girls turn 4 & 2 already!!  

Happy Birthday girls!!

Had to make the kids stand back so we could sing & blow candles out.  It was a bit of chaos with all those kids & fire!

School continues to go fine.  I think there are still a few morning tears here & there.  But everyone is playing fine & independently when picked up.  Here are a few pictures of their "work" they bring home.  Not sure when looking at this will stop amazing me!

Writing your name on the top of your paper seems just so grown up.

I'm guessing he was supposed to write his name on the lines?  Oh well, tracing the lines is just as good as he clearly didn't need them to write his name.

Hayden drew a picture of our family.  Not real sure who is who?

They are becoming little independent beings.  Picked out their own clothes & shoes.
