It's hard to believe that Jeremiah has been in school for more than a month now.... and it's even harder to believe that in a few short weeks Hope will be ONE!! Don't even get me started on that.
J is really enjoying school, and says that it is a lot of fun! The first few weeks were definitely an adjustment period with being tired from school, new school routines, class expectations, new teachers and classmates, homework, etc etc etc. But we're getting it all figured out and things are settling down into a good groove. We have conferences coming up in a couple weeks, so we'll hear more about how he is doing then. For now I just go off of what J tells me, which is quite a bit, actually! He's pretty full of info on the ride home from school (but some days when I ask him questions on the ride home he says, "I'll tell you when we get home, right now I just want to sing to this song on the CD!" Ok, point taken.
This paper came home a while back, and I thought it was so funny! He is a very literal direction follower.
One of J's first school library books:
If you know me, then you know that I did not read ANY of the 256 pages to him.
Hope and I are enjoying our time together while J is at school! We hit the library and grocery store, and have plenty of time to take funny pictures.
She keeps me on my toes for sure!!
Sleeping Beauty.
We have enjoyed some warm days, and also chilly fall days!
Our Saturday activities now have to revolve around what time the Hawkeyes play!
Adam and J have been going to Lowe's Build and Grow workshops- totally free fun! :) Jeremiah loves using tools and building something, and also his special time with Daddy. In September he got to build a fire truck with fire safety cards in it.
And they went again today and made a haunted birdhouse!
Last weekend we went to Holland's fire truck parade, which was the kick-off to fire safety week. J loved this parade, of course! And Hope tolerated this one better- it was not as loud as the Labor Day truck parade!
This past week we enjoyed Fall Family Night for J's school, held at the Outdoor Discovery Center. It was so great! The ODC is like 2 miles from our house, so cool to have such a great place so close by. We will be back! At the Family Night we got to do a scavenger hunt, learn about birds of prey, investigate pond animals, observe the elk in their exhibit, play pumpkin bowling and other games, and enjoy donuts and cider!
This weekend we did a quick version of pumpkin picking at Fun Pumpkins. We grabbed our pumpkins and gourds, J jumped for awhile in the bouncy house, and we were out of there- it was chilly!
It is officially Jeremiah's favorite season!
That's about all we have been up to this last month. We have a busy few weeks coming up, and most importantly- Hope's 1st birthday!!! Waaah. Pics and blogpost to come! Also there's Halloween, and pics of the cutest little elephant and Storm Trooper EVER will be coming your way. Happy Fall!
