Fall Decorating

Ahh fall, my most favorite season of the year. I think I say that at the beginning of every season, but really fall IS my favorite. Every chance I get to clean a room I add a little touch of fall to it. To motivate myself I will not allow myself to do any decorating in a room until I have first cleaned that room. I usually like to do a spring cleaning type thing to my house this time of year, but that isn't happening this year! I do however, need to seriously declutter. Oh how I wish there was time for that. It almost sounds like I like to clean, lol.  

I just found this little guy at Michael's. Isn't he cute? He has a little battery operated tealight candle in his head to make him glow. I don't like scary things for Halloween/Fall decorating, but I think he's kind of cute.

Growing Up

I'm so proud of Jacob, he is adjusting well to home school this year after a tough start. With brother in NC and going to High School there this year, it was a little hard for him getting use to the idea. He has started helping Nesh with yard work, something brother use to do. Fortunately, for now he's happy to do it! Less than two years ago he was the baby in the house for 10 years, and now he's the oldest one in the house. Crazy how that has made him grow up a little bit, but a good thing all at the same time.

Tot Trays

The girls started MMO this week for two days a week.  I try to plan learning activities for them on days they don't go to MMO. One thing that I'm liking and seems to hold their attention is tot trays. Here they're working on color sorting, and pouring (fine motor) skills. I love these pictures where it looks like they're deep in thought.

A Beautiful Gift from India

Daddy recently come home from a quick trip to India to visit our family there. I ask him to bring back some clothes for the girls, and he come home with a whole new wardrobe for them. Among all the adorable outfits were these beautiful dresses from their kaka (uncle) and kaki (aunt). Thank you kaka and kaki!!!

A Sweet Moment with Bubby

This past weekend we went to NC to have Jacob's 12th birthday gathering there with our family. We were all happy to see Bubby, but the girls were super excited. This is a picture of Bubby, still sleeping, and as soon as she woke up and seen him, she jumped up on the bed with him! The girl's threw a terrible fit when we dropped him off at his dad's before we left to come back home. We miss you already Bubby!!!

Happy Birthday Jacob!

Happy Birthday to my baby. My baby who is 12 years old! I can't believe how fast you're growing up. Just one year left until you hit those evil, I mean lovely, teenage years. Just kidding, you know Momma loves you! I think we had an awesome little birthday get together with family in North Carolina this year. Jacob even commented that it was the best birthday ever!
