Happy Halloween

I was hoping to have some pumpkin patch pictures to show too, but I forgot my camera and am waiting for the pictures to be emailed to me that were taken on another parent's camera.

Here are my cute pirate, iron man, and fairy sitting proudly with their candy and the jack-o-lantern they designed.

Artists

Here is some recent artwork by my resident artists.

The first piece was done with pastel and acrylic paint by princess Keilah.

This next drawing is a wonderful Halloween-scape done by the brilliant Ezekiel.
Finally, we have a beach scene complete with sand castle by Silas. I apologize that the colors aren't exactly like the original.

Too Cute

She's just so adorable, I had to show you so you'd believe me. Her spunky personality is pretty awesome too.

All I want for Christmas

Silas lost his fourth tooth, but it's his first front tooth. He looked so mad at me when I hurt him pulling it out, but it quickly turned to joy when he saw me holding tooth in my fingers. He's hoping to lose the other one before Christmas.

Schilling Softball

Chris has been playing on his work softball team. This was his first try at pitching, usually he plays 1st or 3rd base. Their team hasn't won many games, but they have fun.

Big Girl

Keilah has left the crib behind and is now enjoying her toddler bed! She's such a big 21 month old! All she had to do was be able to communicate with words instead of screams/whines. She's actually talking pretty good now.

Sports, sports, sports

It is the season for sports, and my kids like to stay active. Here's a picture from a recent soccer game. Silas's team is ahead 4-1 and they have 4 more games left.

Keilah and Ezekiel are in gymnastics classes. Keilah does surprisingly well for her age.

Ezekiel has done well enough in his class that he has been given the okay to advance to the next class. He really enjoys it. Especially since his best friend, Braden (shown in "U" in background), is in the class with him.
