I heart moon sand!

Who can resist the smoosh of sand in their hands? Especially when you can do it on your kitchen floor with your favorite little guy? While Ryan is at school...this is the kind of thing Tyler and I do during our daily "preschool" time. Tyler liked to make the shapes but he loved to smoosh them when we were done:) This is what I love about being a SAHM.

In the name of Love

We went to a wedding a couple of weeks ago and the weather was so beautiful that boys got to wear shorts and Jim and I were comfortable in summery clothes. I've known Danielle since she was born and it was a blessing to share this very special day with her and her family who are like family to me:) It was a sweet little ceremony and party. Ryan and I got to boogie a little on the dance floor and that was fun. (Later I found out that it really meant something to Ryan as he wrote some sentences about it at school and drew some pictures of us dancing. Sweet.)

Chili Cook Off

The boys and I had alot of fun at Laura and Sam's Chili cookoff for the Michigan vs. State game. We made a batch of cookies and took some punch in lieu of chili. Loved eating BJs tomato soup almost as much as I loved catching up with old friends. The boys were really good and made me proud.

Homecoming

We stopped by mom's to watch the homecoming parade and scored 2 full buckets of candy. Ryan enjoyed painting the windows on the Tahoe. His Panther sure did have alot of toes:) We sat front row and it didn't take Ryan long to hook up with friends and walk around playing.

Ryan's Crafts

This is Zee from Nick Jr. Ryan made her out of felt and glue. Cost = $.50. Time with Ryan=Priceless. Fun, fun, fun.

Here's the lion he made out of pipe cleaners. We got the Martha Stewart kit at Family Dollar and it has been an endless amount of fun. Stay posted for a look at Ryan's special treats for his class.

Fire Station Visit

On Monday, Ryan's class was treated to a visit to the fire station. I was glad for the opportunity to attend and was a little nervous about taking Tyler but the boys were very well behaved and it was a great experience. It's so good being home and able to care and know my boys without the hectic rush that I always felt while working. This is a true blessing.

Decorating for Halloween

We got a chance this past weekend to get out our Halloween Decor. Ryan really helps to make this an exciting day because his excitement is contagious. We've got some really cool pumpkins and I scored some really scary skeletons to add new this year. We still have to decorate the porch with spider webs but we are saving that for after our pumpkin patch visit. Tyler drug out the old costumes and I think Ryan's spiderman costume might suffice. I don't know....do you think Tyler likes spiderman? Look at that sweet smile and those web moves!

When the decorating was done...the boys decided it was time for some Michigan football. Daddy's ready to defend.

I love these surprise pictures that I find on the camera every once in a while. These are some of the things that take place while mom is away. Love that Ryan practices his numbers on teh calendar each day.
