This week.. month?
— we’ve been busy with all the FALL things. We’ve enjoyed multiple pumpkin patches and lots of popcorn. Cal enjoyed the train and tractors best where Elle loves the jumping pads and corn pits. We took family photos outdoors (and finally had a year with moderate temperatures!).
— Elle is checking off lots of events with this school year - pictures, field trip, and this week is conferences. She is still participating in both dance and gymnastics (though we slimmed down our dance night by one class). Cal enjoys tagging along or getting extra 1:1 time at home with Mom or Dad.
— our days seem to fluctuate from being a really nice stage of our family (kids that can play together, outings with minimal diaper bag) and other days are a total GRIND. There is more attitude and meltdowns than ever. Some nights they eat wonderful and other times they snack and sneak treats. This weekend used to be one of mine & T’s favorite of the year- church is on TV with a worldwide conference. This year.. still anything but spiritual as the kids couldn’t keep themselves safe or entertained together for more than 3 minutes. We didn’t expect them to enjoy it with us.. but we were too optimistic that this year would be peaceful again!
— we are looking forward to some fun things later this year - a weekend getaway to Nebraska City to somewhat unplug from normal life. And then a big December trip to Disney with grandparents to go all-in on the Christmas spirit!
xo,
Krista
