Fall is here

Laney was super proud of her tower this day, so we took a picture. She is so fun.


The bottom two drawers of this dresser have been broken for a couple of years, and I just now did something about it. Really, all I had to do was take the drawers and tracks out of the bottom and slide in some baskets. The dresser already had flat boards between the two spaces. The baskets were where I had classroom books stored. I got rid of the classroom books and replaced them with clothes. (The post-it notes are for the Wests who were coming in that weekend. It helps for them to know where everything is).


I stacked kids' books in the drawers and have found that, even though it's not as pleasing to the eye, the girls can see everything and they don't make a mess every time they want to read a book on a shelf.


Meredith LOVES shoes. She has started saying "she Ah?" which means "shoes on." These are Caroline's shoes that she had on for a good part of the evening.


We took a cue from Cassie and let the girls decorate some boxes.


Highlights! Delane subscribed for the girls. It brings back so many memories. They make magazines for Meredith's age, too!


Barak was planting grass in our front yard, and got an extra bail of hay for the girls.


Big hit.

Last bits of summer

Here are some recent library pictures. 

Laney is in the gray. The book was about fall, so the librarian had the kids throw leaves when she said certain words.

Meredith definitely walked into the middle of it and was very happy.


She can climb up the toddler slide and slide all by herself. She loves it.


This was one day before pre-school.




The girls have created what they call a "cave" between Caroline's bed and the loveseat in the corner. They really really like playing in there.


Feeding the chickens.








Caroline sometimes thinks she is Lincoln's mommy.
