Happy OCTOBER!!!

And with the arrival of the month that begins birthdays (at least around here!) (tomorrow would have been my mom's 91st birthday, Shannon is on Oct 6, Kaleigh is on October 26, Kevin is on October 31, yep he IS scary..lol then David is on November 3, Danielle is on November 5 then Robbie on Dec 4th...THEN Christmas!) The month of October brings weather that needs light coats! It's been in the lower 40's in the mornings...brrrrrr.... ( I know I know..it's gonna get worse...lol)



caught Xander in a picture yesterday...(the boy does NOT like to have his picture taken...and I can respect that..told him that i needed an UPDATE...so i caught him off guard...

We got some strawberries on sale and decided to try out a new pie recipe...

DRUMROLL PLEASE.......and here is OUR pie!



This morning was school time too...today's theme was

THINGS THAT FLY!
there were gliders to build..(with mommy's help of course!)



MOM ARE YOU SURE YOU ARE READING THOSE DIRECTIONS RIGHT!!????

and if you make the proper NOISE that a plane makes (come on purse your lips and brrrrrooooom with me!) you KNOW you want to...



the planes FLY!!!



then we made paper helicopters which the pattern can be found HERE


...and the class was filled with spinning, whirling and smiles!!!



but even if you don't have paper or wooden gliders to float thru the air...you can always...



SPREAD YOUR WINGS AND FLY WITH MOM!

hope your day is filled with a light breeze that makes you SOAR!!!

HUGZ TIL NEXT TIME!
