A Lefty??


Emma has really started to love coloring and writing. So far she has been writing with her left hand most of the time. Once in awhile she will color with her right but most of the time she will switch to her left. She also holds a pencil or pen pretty well. I like the idea of a lefty like me! Now I'm off to clean the pencil off the tile, marker off of her face, and crayon off the walls....

Soccer

Here's a few pictures of the kids from soccer. They both had fun and played hard. Ethan is getting a little better at being more aggressive and paying attention. He had a good coach that taught them a lot. Madelyn played hard. She also tried out the goalie position for the first time and loved it. She did a great job at it too. I didn't like her playing goalie...it made me a nervous wreck. Yes I'm one of those parents who get into the game (in a good yelling way :) )


Punkinaze


Here's our annual trip to the local corn maze. The kids had been dying to go to the Punkinaze since it opened in Sept. It was pretty cold so we didn't take Emma. Maddie and Ethan had a good time trying to constantly hide and scare us in the corn. What is it about walking around in corn that instantly creeps you out. I guess I just have to think more Field of Dreams and not Children of the Corn (or crazy nanny for you OTH fans). Although Field of Dreams is still dead people walking in the corn....
Sorry about the blurry pics!

Cute Little Red Chair




Here is my new photography prop to play around with. Isn't it cute!
P.S. I'm talking about the chair, although Emma is cute too!
