It's been a looooong September :)

September 2014

Well, well. Here we are in September. We are starting to see a lot of school buses out and about. Exciting stuff :). Look at us, playing restaurant! (Yes that's a tool bench. Ya make do)

WE matchy matchy!

 These three pics are from a quick trip to Charlotte to visit family, have some 'mom & dad' time (meaning we ate breakfast... see above). Oh and there was an awesome PANTHER GAME! Beat those lions 24-7!

               

Alex is never tired :)

I could watch river otters all day.
so playful and cute!

 These two pics are from a homeschooling class offered through Montford Nature Center in Richmond. It was on water and how we live effects the water (drinking, streams, rivers...) around us. Its a beautiful place: historic mansion, well kept grounds, lovely gardens, petting zoo and of course the nature center. Here is a pic of the river otters.. adorable!

Highlight magazine's
'Which Way USA,' we give it a two thumbs up!
If i can keep track of everything... it's going to be perfect in three years. 
Tons of awesome info. 
We enjoy the pictures and learning how to use a map for now.
Also a shout out to Chick-fil-A for the awesome compasses.
 (mmm.. spicy chicken)

Taking a break to eat some coooooookies!:)
I'm so thankful when they play so nice together! 

Oh hello there, Captain Distraction... a homeschooling mom's comic relief!

Exploring our own yard. :)

Alex got to buy a new dress for her doll.. with her 'own' money :).
So exciting!
