A Fort Fit for a Princess!

A perfect warm morning to build a Princess Fort! Amelia added her throne to make it fully furnished!

She told me " I don't have to wear shoes, since Tangled (aka Rupunzel) doesn't and that is who she was pretending to be today!

Amelia, I mean Tangled, pretending to get some sleep.

Here is here castle! Equipt with front and back entrances,
ribbon accents, comfy flooring and spectacular views. Oh and of course the singing throne that every princess needs!

Frolicking in the "meadow" with her magic ribbon wands. (Those are the very same ribbon sticks I used to mark the enterance to the tent on our wedding day! Which means those suckers are 9 yrs old!)

More decorating done by the Princess and her Queen Mother!

This day was perfect for a much needed rabbit hutch cleaning, I am sure Pedro and Kipp would also agree!

The weather couldn't get any more perfect in my opinion!

Happy 108th Birthday, Dr. Seuss!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DR. SEUSS!!!

We certainly love our collection of silly Dr. Seuss' books. In honor of his birthday, we read many silly stories, played the Cat in the Hat, I Can Do That and ended with a special dinner.
Amelia had to place the fish bowl on top of her head, step over the Trick-a-ma-stick! She did it!

Um, Daddy??? LOL He had to take 3 large steps with the toyman between his legs! Such a good sport!

Crawling around the Trick-a-ma-stick with something under her shirt, maybe??

James had some hard challenges that he was able to do with no problem!

Back to reading, Go Cassidy Go!

Now on to dinner...

Green Eggs and Ham of course!

The did eat their green eggs and ham, SAM I AM!

To end the birthday celebration, James read his favorite Dr. Seuss book, Hop on Pop. He can read the entire book with very little support! James is doing a wonderful job using different reading strategies that we have been working on in addition to his reading instruction in the classroom. So proud of you James!!!

Now, time for a swing!

"Up, Up, Up....wheeeeee!"

Let's Play

This morning, Amelia helped me put together Cassidy's play mat. Amelia helped attach the toys and the arches, and was ready to watch Cassidy play.
"Umm...Cassidy?? Kick the ball!"

"I'll help you!"

"She did it!" Kick, kick, KICK!

Aww, she loves her big sister!

Cassidy's First Stroll/ Kids Anual Leaf Hunt

Right after we picked up James from school, we took advantage of the short break from the constant rain/drizzle that we had all week long for a short walk down the street and around the block! She was bundled up in blankets and slept the entire time. Ahh fresh air!
James and Amelia found all sorts of shades of Fall leaf colors.

Check this leaf out!

Bags are full, bring on the Fall crafts and projects!!

Apple Banner Project

Heather had found this cute idea on Pinterest and was kind enough to think of us by giving us two apples that were hand picked from an orchard and left over canvas from their apple banner projects.

James' apple banner!
Amelia's apple banner.
