Busy, Busy

My kinders have been reciting nursery rhymes.  And considering they don't speak English, it makes it even trickier...haha.  But they were having such a blast, we started acting them out - and the idea just blossomed into a full-blown production!!  (what was I thinking?!?!?!)

My mom and sister have collected clothes that could be used for costumes and my niece, Quinn, is painting the set for me!

We had the nephews over for a campout - tons of fun.  Hotdogs and rice krispie treats were yummy.

Ethan turned 16!!!  Can't believe it.  But he got a cop outfit from his cousins and aunt and uncle and he just loves it.  He also got a lot of superhero stuff, so he was on cloud nine - even if he is a cool 16 year-old.

Fall weather calls for caramel and chocolate dipped apples, of course.  I haven't tasted any yet, because I am trying to stay off sugar (yeah, right.....)  But they sure looked good.

Samantha had her baby, Ace Buchanan, on Ethan's birthday -which was super exciting.  He is a cutie - 10lb 5oz. 

Ethan is super busy - he has swimming three nights a week and weight lifting twice a week.  Which means we are super busy.  Yikes.  There is a reason 16 year olds are supposed to drive, haha, but we will be the drivers for Ethan for many, many years so I guess we just get used to it.

Weather has been warm (not complaining) - and I love the fall colors in this part of Tennessee.

Lovin' it.
