Happy Fall!!

We love this time of year and are so glad the weather is finally cooling down a little bit! It has been so hot!

Tessa had a fun week at Mommy School. This week we talked about our bodies and being healthy.

She put together a skeleton puzzle that was just about Tessa size.

 We learned about the letter B.

 Tess loves story telling and so I have been making props for the books we read during Mommy School. This week we read "The Very Hungry Caterpillar".

 We talked about healthy food and unhealthy food. Sadly, I don't think that will make a difference in her diet. 

 Adam is finally riding his bike! He loves going over the the church parking lot and riding free. He was having such a hard time on our little sidewalk and kept telling us he would just learn how to do it when he was 12. We told him that wasn't an option! One day a couple of weeks ago, Eric took him over to the church parking lot and he literally took off and started riding without any problems! He does really well.... until his chain falls off.

 Tess just loves running next to Adam. 

 Charming.

 Tessa loves riding her "trusty red tricycle", as she calls it. 

 Autumn mean Oktoberfest! This year we kept it low key and went to Ma and Pa's house for Pa's yummy German food! We had lots of fun eating and visiting and playing some German games.

On Saturday, to celebrate the first day of fall, we made our favorite pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. Bring on the yummy recipes! I love cooking this time of year and am glad that I have such good kitchen helpers!
