Happy Halloween

Ninja Wes

A ninja and a tiger

My sweet little Tigger!

My Kindergarten Ninja

The views of the lake have been beautiful, I love the look of the mist coming off the lake surface.

Wes is enjoying Kindergarten. He gets to learn silly songs and do some really fun art projects.

It finally warmed up enough to enjoy some much needed outside time. The boys enjoyed playing 'secret agent ninja'. It was funny to see Jack running around saying 'ninja'. He is learning so many words, his favorite is still 'no' and 'i don't know' but it is nice that he can communicate when he isn't feeling well or needs something.
Wes continues to amaze me in the things he knows. The Alaskan pipeline is being run through town and the construction workers are finishing up laying the pipe. I was telling Wes about it as we drove by and he says 'yep, I know. We need it because sometimes we don't have enough or the right oil here so we have to get it from far away.'

Ninja Wes
I'm not sure if he can ever stop talking and be quiet enough to ever become one!

Jack

Can you guess my favorite fruit?

Blackberries!
Or as Jack says backbeawees!

I show him a plant and he picks it clean in no time flat : )

If you give a boy some ice cream...

How to make your brother sick

1. Convince him this will be a great idea and get him into position.

2. Start the winding process.

3. Wind him up even farther then he should. Give an extra twist for good measure.

4. Get ready to let go and watch the fun.

5. Watch him helplessly spin out of control and think it is the funniest thing you've ever seen.

*Disclaimer - no child was hurt or became physically ill during this process.

First Day of School

Wes had his very first day of Kindergarten yesterday! He was so brave and did a great job!
He played red light, green light and had story time and practiced his letters and numbers.

I found a dirty Sasquatch waiting for the bus.

The bus missed our stop and continued on to drop off the other kids.
Poor Wes told them to stop when he saw us waiting for him and began crying. They came back and dropped him off safe and sound but it gave him quite a scare!

He jumped off the bus straight into daddy's arms!
