At school the kids do themed activities based on the season. This month has been focused on the harvest, especially apples. They picked apples, baked them and made a pie, did apple art, and finally had an apple party with apple cobbler, and apples painted on their cheeks.

They also got to take home some worms, and it was their week to take home the compost bucket. When they brought it back they got to choose a prize from the prize basket. Aurelia chose the only stuffed animal in there (an alligator) and Avery chose a shark that he named “Sharky Bruce”.

Face painting fun at school

They are getting so good at their letters. And Aurelia has started drawing faces!

We are such good helpers.

Having lots of fun at Denise’s!

Mommy walked in to find that we weren’t using the bathtub crayons on the bathtub. And no, Avery was not upset at being caught. He was upset because he wanted to draw on Aurelia and make her a tiger and she wouldn’t let him.

Fun with Omi and Papa as usual.

Birthday preparations! Avery’s on the left, Aurelia’s on the right.

Out shopping for daddy.

We met Omi and Papa in Flagstaff to celebrate Daddy’s birthday.

We ate crepes and got some candy for later.

Went shopping, on a hike, and to Barnes and Noble! Whew!

Time for presents!

The next day we met our other grandma and our aunt for lunch.

Now we are playing outside while Daddy puts his new shelving unit together.

We are still so cute when we sleep!
