Fall Break

Amber went on a field trip at school and came home with two pumpkins. So, Mike took Ryan out and got him two. They both have a big one and a small one. Even though Mike is working nights the kids got up early so they could carve their pumpkins before he went to sleep (7am) =) He is such a good Dad! They all had fun and the pumpkins look great. Ryan did an owl pumpkin.



Ryan had a rough Fall Break . . . 2 shots on Wed, 3 teeth pulled on Thur, and an orthodontist apt. on Fri. He is already back to his normal self! He was soooo brave (especially about getting the teeth pulled) and we are sooooo proud of him. Here he is showing off how high he can climb in our tree!


The kids are big on making their own food now . . . breakfast, lunch and helping me cook dinner. Amber made herself a waffle jam sandwich =)

The kids are reading 12 minutes a day for their 1,000 minutes of reading challenge at school. Ryan and Amber are both trying to keep on track, even over Fall Break =)

Amber went to a sleepover birthday party over Fall break. I was missing her the next day at work, wondering how things went, and I got these two e-mail photo's =) How cool is that! What a great idea too. Amber had a great time of course!


So, we didn't do anything super special or fun over Fall Break . . . but it was still good =)
