pumpkin carving

Last night we carved pumpkins with Michelle. They always have so much fun with her. She is a wonderful friend of mine and we've known each other for 15 years. I love that she loves my kids.

Spending the day with Owen

Hot cocoa, no coffee yet.

My kids loved spending the day with Owen.

Day of thoughtfulness

Today we learned about being thoughtful. After a week of selfish behavior I thought we could use a refresher course in thinking of each other before ourselves. They started the morning by serving each other breakfast and helping each other with their morning chores. After lunch they made each other a special craft/present that they thought the other would like. Carter wrote in his journal the bible verse we were learning- "By love serve one another" Gal 5:13 and drew a picture of him giving his brother hot chocolate. Lawson colored Carter a picture of a helicopter and decorated it. Carter made beads out of clay and painted them because Law loves necklaces. In addition to the regular kindergarden stuff this year, I really want to teach my boys about kindness, patience, and what it means to be part of a family.

A beautiful fall day

We spent the morning at a really cool farm market. The boys loved running through the teepee's. Inside they have a beautiful fire blazing and it was nice to get warm after spending 2 hours in the cold. After the market we brought daddy coffee and doughnuts at work. (The doughnuts were homemade and amazing!) We said hi to all his co-workers and learned about what daddy does all day.
