Things have been super busy lately! My new job is going great and I love it. I feel blessed to have found my dream job before I'm 30! It keeps me busy and I'm exhausted at the end of the day and ready for bed by 8:30 most nights! We're saving money because I'm not out browsing stores during the day and I'm too tired to shop at night! For some reason I woke up at 3:30 this morning thinking about all of the things I need to get done so I decided to write and add pictures to the blog too!
The kids seem to like the transition to a babysitter too. Megan usually wants to stay there all night and Jacob points and grunts at Michelle's (babysitter) van when it's time to leave...he wants to go in her van, not my car! The babysitter has a little girl, Sophia who is exactly 1 year younger than Megan so the two of them equally enjoy playing and bickering together!
Megan has been super busy this fall. She enjoys preschool 3x a week, speech 2x week, gymnastics 1x week, soccer 2-3x week, and Purest Praise 1x week (Children's choir and bells at church). Needless to say she goes to bed by 7 most nights that she doesn't have activities! It certainly takes a village to raise our family this year and yesterday Megan was bounced from babysitter to daddy to Uncle Jon to Grammy to Daddy! She seemed happy about it all because Uncle Jon and his girlfriend Laura spoil her during their time with her!
Jacob is all boy times 10. He used to talk, he used to have about 8 words, poof they're gone! He now communicates through grunts and sadly we can usually decifer about 20 different meanings for these grunts! Jacob has skinned knees and we are very happy about cool temperatures so he is in pants and his knees are finally healing. He always has some kind of bruise on his head from his various bumps around the house. He can now throw a ball across the room and kick a ball like crazy too. He climbs like a monkey most of the time. He takes risks and doesn't seem to care, he is definitely going to be our bone breaker.
Here is the Candyland Program for Parents as Teachers. Megan's birthday party was such a huge success that we thought it would work well for a program and boy did it! We had almost 30 families (80+ people) and it was a great time. Megan especially liked painting with the pudding and Jacob just ran around everywhere!
Sleeping beauty!
It's a monster!!!! Jacob is huge like always, he was in the 95th% for height this last time at the Dr's office and this is trouble because he can reach things that kiddos his age are not ready to reach!
Megan playing soccer! Megan is loving soccer and our team continues to improve, the first game the score was probably 50-0 and then the next game we scored our first goal, the next game they won, another slaughter, and a game on Saturday! Megan is one of the younger players and she likes to trail after the ball and sometimes gets a toe on it if nobody is around. She enjoys going but says her favorite part is snacks at the end! Eventually she'll find her competitive spirit!
Here she is with a teammate waiting for their turn to play!
As soon as we arrived at our house to trick-or-treat the cousins arrived too! Jacob, Megan, Luke (Mr. Strong), Adam (Blue Toad), and Jessi (Elmo)! Megan had fun running around with everyone and Jacob was a trooper but we went a little too long and he started to get sleepy and fussy!
Here are the kids with their friends Schyler and Stella. The height difference between Stella and Jacob is getting funnier as they grow! It's hard to believe they are only 4 days apart!
Butterfly catcher!
Butterfly!
Cute picture with the two of them! Jacob got the hang of putting his net out there for candy!
Fun hair!
Where am I?
