Everyday Pictures

 

Makayla's peanut plant she planted in July.

 

Allie learning how to FINALLY use a fork!

 

Makayla doing homework, she has been doing really well with her math.

We've been so proud of her!

 Makayla had after school book club on Tuesdays, 

her first book When the Mountain Meets the Moon.

 

Sesame Street

Another garage sale find, toddler bed $20 and the Sesame Street bedding for only $25 on clearance at Target! Allie isn't in this bed yet, with the great deals we couldn't resist it! She loves to watch Play With Me Sesame. She has her Elmo, seen here, and then she also has a Ernie and a little Grover. She carries them all around the house calling them by name. She has to have them in her crib during her nap and bedtime. Her other favorites are Burt, Cookie, Oscar and Prairie Dawn.

Sister's Weekend

This year I was invited by my sister to attend an annual "Sister's Weekend" with her sister-in-laws. My sister flew in from Texas and then we traveled to Ledges State Park in Boone, Iowa. We all had a great time and it was nice to get to spend that time with my sister!

 

   

First Day of 4th Grade

Makayla officially started 4th grade back in September!

 

Bike Rider

We scored this bike seat for Allie on a garage sale for only $40. She loves going out for rides! Unfortunately, we bought it as it was turning colder so hopefully we can still get some good use out of it in the spring.

Goodbye 3rd Grade!

Happy Mother's Day

I had a very nice Mother's Day, I received some beautiful flowers, my favorite chocolates and a heartfelt letter from Makayla. They took me out for lunch the day before and breakfast that morning.

New Chores

Makayla has learned how to do a few things around the house lately,

she does her own laundry and she scoops the litter.
