Puddle Fun!

The other day we had more rain and as soon as it stopped, I found this little girl outside playing in the puddles. She had a ball!!

September Randomness...

We have spent the past couple of weeks getting back into our school schedule groove. Both Adam and Tessa are loving school and are busy in the afternoons playing with toys and friends. Last week, Tessa had every girl in the neighborhood here playing and Adam spent hours (literally) researching different places in the world in his Encyclopedia and then finding them on Google Earth. Hours, I  tell you!!

When Tessa isn't socializing, you will usually find her doing some sort of art project. She loves to create!

I have been back into the swing of things with menu planning, recipe organizing and catching up on all of our summer pictures. I finally got all of our summer pictures ordered. I think I am keeping Costco's photo center happy (or annoyed) with my orders from the last couple of weeks. I think I ordered over 1500 pictures just for the months of June, July and August. Hey, we had a fun summer! 

It's nice to work on all the projects that I kept putting off all summer long. Hopefully I can get caught up before Christmas-which my children are already counting down the days for. I have raised them well.

Two weeks ago, we had an insane storm blow through during the early evening hours. It lasted about 40 minutes and this is what happened while we watched the rain come pouring down. It was like a hurricane hit and our backyard totally flooded. It was crazy weather! Adam is still talking about it.
