What normal looks like around here

 no pants for Champ on this day, a girl in a hoop, and a girl dancing while pushing a bear in a stroller...hmmm
 little buddy is in 2 mornings a week preschool and we are SO proud of his behavior so far:)!
 the view from our back yard before all the trees turned orange (it was beautiful!!!)
 pajama day at school, took an afternoon walk, found a dirt pile...the rest is history (including the 2 toys we lost in there!)
 favorite thing to "teach".  bible:)! 
 doing the calendar (by the looks of this picture you would think, oh they must do this every day.  sadly no, we often forget the calendar and do a few days at a time:)!
 again, bible time.  this was the last week of noah.
 little brother helping bring the sippy cups
 and this is his other normal...hanging on my leg!!:)  when Canon's at preschool Champ doesn't play too long by himself and then wants to come snuggle on mommy while I teach.
 writing books titled "The Baby Can Play" and "The Baby Can Nap" These girls are ALL about babies.
 Reading a beginner book, music to this mommy/teacher's ears:)!!
Happy 4th Birthday Canon!!! Love you so my wild and snuggly little man!!!

THE annual Pumpkin Patch pictures

Here is the past 7 years worth of pumpkin patch picture taking, at this exact pumpkin patch. Every year I think "oh we've got to get better next year", but alas we are still 0/6 with the kids actually looking and smiling at the camera. Maybe its time I just got over that and enjoyed what a real life picture looks like with kids. I love my little family and love their personalities:)!!
