September happenings

It sure seemed like September was a busy month for us. Not that we actually did a lot, but just trying to get back into the routine of school and other activities.

I started doing preschool every morning with Brady, while Nathan is at school. There really were no good options to send him to preschool where we live so I decided I could get him prepared for kindergarten on my own. We will see how that goes. So far he really likes it and actually asks for more work long after I am ready to be done. He has really picked up on his numbers and we are working on the his letters. I also subscribe to Koala Crate, which is a preschool box that he receives once a month with themed learning activities and crafts. We got the first box this month and he really loved it. As part of my home school program I decided that he would really enjoy spending time at grandmas so once a week he leaves with Dave in the morning and gets to spend all day with Grandma. Which is great since it gives us both a break and lets him socialize with some one beside me all the time.

If you ever come to my house and my kitchen is a mess it is because Colin just loves taking everything out of the dishwasher. While entertaining makes it nearly impossible for me to safely load the dishwasher so I tend to wait until everyone is in bed for the night.

 Soccer Season Started a couple weeks ago. This is Brady's first year playing and Nathan's 2nd. So far they both love it.

 We were hanging out at soccer practice the other day and I turned to look at Colin and there he was just standing all by himself. He is so ready to be playing with his brothers.

Brady's age group is 3-4yr olds and it is seriously entertaining watching them run around the field chasing the ball and pretty much following none of the rules.
