Its been too long...

Its been too long since I've last blogged, I know. There seems to be so much going on I hardly find time to sit down at this computer much less take the time to post. I'm going to try to give you all an update on our past few weeks. First of all, as you already know, school has started, soccer practice is in full swing and we'll start dance next week. Riley Grace is loving 3rd grade and Maggie is having a hard time letting her go each morning. This is Riley Grace's "First Day of School Picture" that was actually taken about a week late because I had totally forgotten to do that!

Each morning as we're getting ready to take Riley Grace to school, Maggie Ruth has to have all of her gear like "Sissy's". She wants a backpack (which RG bought her w/ her own money), a lunch box and whatever else her sister might be leaving with. Riley Grace is such a good sport about it. She usually gets Maggie a snack to put in her lunch box and some "junk" to stuff in her backpack so that Maggie thinks she's "loaded".

On our Hurricaine Fay weather day the girls gave me a flashback from my childhood...forts- in the house! While I was busy doing some laundry Riley Grace was busy building a fort for she and Maggie Ruth. Man, the times that Kim and I would do that! Maggie was loving every minute of it!

She also decided that she now likes the infant swing (which she HATED as a baby). I had cleaned out her closet trying to make room for Jack and some of his things and sat this swing in the sun room. When I came out of the laundry room Maggie Ruth was trying it out. She never fails to amuse me!

This next picture is a typical day at home... anything goes!!! Maggie wears WHATEVER she wants (or doesn't want) and clonks around the house in everyone's shoes. Thank goodness she can't take a picture of me and post it because I pretty much do the same, minus the shoes.

To add to all of the current chaos at our house, our dog Scamper has given us a little drama too. He found a girlfriend about 2 months ago and disappeared. Well, he's resurfaced but doesn't want to stay at our house anymore and his girlfriends owner doesn't want him to stay there. Oh, the drama...he's now at the vet getting "fixed"so that maybe he won't have those girlfriend tendencies anymore...we'll see. Our fall garden is ready for attention so I've also been busy shelling peas and putting them up...FUN STUFF!!!
