Funny Stories of the Week No pictures this morning but I thought I'd share two stories from this past week that made me laugh.

I should start by saying Cambrie LOVES cats. She goes crazy for them. We were in Walmart yesterday. I was pushing Cambrie in the cart and we past a woman wearing a big jacket with a fur hood. Cambrie saw her, pointed at her and started yelling, "Cat, Cat!" She thought the fur on the jacket was a cat.

This past week, I made a small booklet for Mackenzie. I wrote down her spelling words and told her make a book and use her spelling words in her story. Well of course there was a discussion (there always is) about how she was going to make the book, how she wanted to draw all the pictures first, etc. I had wanted her to do an idea spider then take each idea and make it a sentence, then write the sentence on the page, then draw the picture that went with that sentence. Well that wasn't the way she wanted to do it.....anyways... this is the book/ story she wrote...

Book Title: The Mean Mom

A mean mom called Jennifer trapped us

She lead up to a metal cage and kept us there.

She made us ride without any boots.

No balloons for us.

No fixed roofs.

Hard food so we loose tooths.

Doors open so we can't sleep because of the moon.

Guess I got my story with the spelling words.


Happy Sunday!

Fall is such a busy busy time for us. I love fall but with it comes a new school year, tons of activities (art, musical theater, violin, gymnastics, 4H, soccer), and less day light. I can't keep up. I took a break  though to take a few pictures to post.


Here is the Roo and Cambrie (who is showing her best crinkle nose smile). Mackenzie is reading like crazy and enjoys our weekly trips to the library. Cambrie is becoming quite the little independent girl. I have started leaving her in the church nursery. She loves all the different toys but is a little brute. She can def. hold her own. She will be starting a music and/ or soccer tot class and or gym class in January.

Fall is finally here in Texas. We love the cooler weather!

Here are a few pictures of our garden. We planted everything (except the tomatoes) from seeds in June. We have just recently started to get veggies.

Now if they would just turn red!

corn...

carrots and a few onions...

lettuce (not quite sure how to harvest it)...

I am looking forward to doing a spring garden now. Hopefully in January we will plant some fruit trees and a few Christmas trees.

God Bless!
