Is summer really gone?

Where did the summer go? I love fall but it never lasts long enough!

Joey is loving preschool. He is exhausted at the end of each day but still eager to tell us what he learned. Last week they learned to cut a straight line with scissors and about the letter F and number 0. They are also working on some basic Spanish words. He had his first homework assignment called "All About Me." He decorated a bag and we added a couple of family photos as well as a picture from when we were in Guatemala. We also included a small football to illustrate his favorite sport and some play grapes for his favorite food. Last but not least, we included a small stuffed puppy to represent his buddy Bruizer. He also drew a family portrait which included Daddy, Mommy, Joey and "Squish"...

Sam also had a big week at "school." He is transitioning to a new room with a new teacher. They have the 1 year olds in one room that is divided in half so they have the "younger 1's" and the "older 1's" so he is transitioning to the "older 1's". I think he really loves going to daycare. They do so much with the kids that I would never think to do... or maybe I should say... wouldn't have the patience to do with an 18 month old. He very rarely cries when we drop him off and while he's happy to see us at the end of the day... he still would prefer to play for"just a few more minutes". It's a great feeling to be able to drop our kids off and know they are in good hands!

Here is Sam with his Packer's jersey although I wouldn't call him a "true" fan yet since he decided playing outside would be more fun than sitting inside watching the first Packer's game of the season... go figure!

My Jojo!

Transporting the sand from the sandbox to the patio...

This kid has no fear... going down the slide feet first is for babies!

What?!
