1st Week of September

After Labor Day we got back into the swings of things.  Steve had to work Tuesday through Thursday to make up for Monday, and they had pass offs at Riverton Hospital.  It was a busy week, but we made it through.  We're getting back into our "routine" and schedule.  After I pick up the boys from the neighbors we get a snack, then I help Nyles w/ his homework while Carter watches a quick show.  We've found this works better so Nyles isn't too tired doing his homework later, plus he can have the rest of the night to play.  Here are some other highlights.

Our Daisies are blooming again!  It makes me happy :)

Carter officially started Preschool!  He was so excited he kept waking up throughout the night.  Finally at 6am I let he stay awake.  Here he is after going his first day.  He loved it!

Carter w/ his Nutella smile.  Nyles getting his eyes checked.  

Thankfully so far his eyes are perfect as well.

More pretty flowers still in bloom!

Our Rose of Sharon bushes.

Our pears are just about ready to be picked!

We played "tag" a couple times this week in the back yard.  The boys think it's so fun. 

 Steve thought it was fun to chase Nyles w/ Carter as well.

Saturday morning we went to Home Depot again for the kid's project.

The boys with their scarecrows planters all put together.

Now time to paint them.

Helping Carter w/ his paint.

Carter thought it was funny to squish inside a Tupperware box.

We got a good downpour today after church.  Nyles wasn't feeling well today so he stayed home from church.  He has a little cold.  Hopefully he'll be feeling better tomorrow.

Nyles and Carter literally looking out the window as it rained.

Carter made a mud hole for his trucks.
