Fall Break

Aren't they so cute workin' side by side?
Well...dad is working...Jonas thinks he's helping...
it's a good start!

There is something disturbingly cute about this picture!
Maybe perfect for Halloween! :)

Well I have been home this past week on Fall Break! We had such a great week - I am sad to see it end...even though I really am enjoying teaching this year - there is nothing I enjoy more than hanging out with my boys! Here are some highlights from the week...Nana came last weekend to help us with the chaos in our house (it feels a lot better and more manageable! Thanks Nana!). It was a great way to start the week because I actually enjoyed being at home - instead of feeling overwhelmed! We also got to go out on the boat this weekend (could be the last time for a while since it is getting cooler), we walked to the aquarium and visited some of our water friends, we went for a walk and hung out with Aunt Sarah and cousin Colin (oh and played on the big indoor play area at the mall...J's first time), I made breakfast, lunch, and dinner!, tried to teach Jonas to say "Mama!"(he can say "Dad"), picked out a pattern and fabric for J's Halloween costume (keep posted for results!), went to see "The Secret Life of Bees"(SO good! I don't know if I cried more when I read the book or watching the movie) and eat dinner with some good friends, watched the Dawgs beat the Vols and the 'Dores! (sorry Matthew! Maybe next year!), took J to the dr. and found out he is tall (75th percentile) and skinny (35th percentile)(he can thank his dad for those genes), introduced more solid food to Jonas (that is going to be a slow process!), we worked on and FINISHED so many projects, relaxed, played, laughed, and cried! It really has been a great week! Tomorrow is back to reality...
