mid-september pictures

So it's the middle of September already. The middle and end of months freak me out a little bit b/c they just keep coming. And it's another month in the books. Yikes! 

Kindergarten is getting better everyday. Ted now asks me to not walk him to the bus so he can get on by himself. He says he loves Kindergarten and that he's going to "rock it" today. Art and Music are two favorites. He started fall soccer this week. Loves it! He's super into learning to read, spelling words and reading chapter books together which is fun.

I'm working 2 days a week. Trying to stick it out one more year w/o working more full time. Sophie is going to "Tuesday School" - a Mom's Day Out - one day a week. I love it. She loves it. I so wish it was 2 days a week. It's so cute. I share a sitter with a friend one day a week. It's crazy when I can come home to work and no one's here. A taste of next year when Sophie will do PreK. It's a freedom of sorts. I'm enjoying my other days with Sophie. We have a lot of fun together. 

So, some pictures from the first half of the month . . .

We spent the morning of the Marshall game at Urgent Care for Ted. He ended up on some sort of antibiotic. We missed Ben's first sermon at South Ridge Church. Bummer.

So then we had to wait at CVS for the prescription to be filled. So we played in the toy aisle.

Sophie had some blood work done last week. She has inherited her father's elusive veins. She got stuck in both arms and they had to dig around. She was a TROOPER! The ladies were so impressed with her demeanor and not crying that they gave her a coupon for a free smoothie at the coffee shop in the lobby.

I got Ted a notebook that we write in a couple of days a week. A journal of sorts that will help him with spelling, writing and reading. And will hopefully turn into a habit in a spiritual sense. It's already fun to look back at it!

Ted likes to make lists of words he "knows." Once we hit phonics we'll be golden. He has to learn to spell and write Theodore at school. He's been practicing a lot.

Sophie is a water coloring fool these days. Sometimes she water colors the table, her shirt and most of her arms.

Sophie on her way to school. This was actually her second week b/c the first week it was pouring down the rain and we didn't get that far.
