Tree!

Our tree turned super early this year. I saw no less than four people stopping in their cars to look at it AND TAKE PICTURES! The girls had fun raking. (I have a picture of the tree that is still on the camera. I'll update this post later)

Hoot Scoot and Daddy Daughter Dance

The girls school is amazing. As they get older I realize how great it truly is. They are both academically doing VERY well. I am hard on Ava sometimes (well, probably too much) because I expect her to be perfect, but you know what I saw when I visited her class? She was amazing, and perfect. And so is Violet. Somehow they turned out wonderful.

Every year they have one fundraiser and raise over $20,000. Last year the principal had to sleep on the roof of the school. This year he is getting dunked in a dunk tank. The school has smart boards (the electronic version of a dry erase) and iPads in every classroom. Here are the kids running around outside. North and Oscar the Owl. And Daddy took his girls to the Daddy Daughter Dance. Apparently he was ditched by Ava the second he got there, but he still had his little Violet to dance with and meet some of the other dads.


This picture is a classic. Every time I look at it I laugh. :)

So blessed

I am so blessed. Here are some pictures with captions. Here's North asleep on a chair. He has gone through a really rough transition with the girls being gone. Finally he is sleeping and not just crying and flailing around all day.
 
 Shhhh. Don't tell my sisters. :) (Good thing my blog is private so I can post hilarious pictures like this)
 
The girls are both doing soccer. Tyler coaches Violet's team and assists on the other. It keeps us VERY busy on Saturday. The fall season is about 8 weeks long and it has been super cold. I have a feeling we are going to be wearing snow pants by the time the season ends Nov. 3.



North covering uncle Spencer with toys. I have no idea why.

 

 New clothes!
