Apple Fest Parade

Cooper had the thrill of the season last weekend, he got to ride in the Apple Fest parade with his Grandpa! He had a great time...

designing apples for the cart...

decorating the golf cart with Grampa, Grammie, and Corm...

And tossing candy to the parade watchers!

In the meantime Corm got to walk into town with Grammie and gather up treats along the way!

Famous Soccer Player?

Do you think Pele's soccer coach ever had to shout across the field,
"Hey, could you get your finger out of your belly button?"

Hmmm...

An apple a day...

Last weekend we welcomed fall at a local farm by PICKING APPLES! They were crunchy and delicious; sweet and tart; red and green; and we all had fun.

Not so fun...

Corm has won the award for first cold of the season. Uggg.
Who will get it next????

First Soccer Game!

What a fun day!

Clean up, Clean up, Everybody, Everywhere....

See what happens when you ask a two year old to help clean up?

3rd Annual Labor Day BBQ

While the end of summer is something of a disappointment,
on our street we have one final HOORAH! to celebrate.

Thanks for all the fun this year guys.
Can't wait for T-Shirts next year!

Peach Season!

Picking juicy peaches in the sunshine with family...what could be better?

Soccer Season Begins!

Cooper joined the 1st/2nd grade soccer team this year. He really didn't enjoy the T-ball season (it's too much work according to him) so I was hesitant to sign him up for soccer.

He LOVES it! They are engaged during the entire practice. After the first one he said "Mom that was the shortest practice ever." He was surprised to find out he had been there 10 minutes longer than any of his t-ball practices. "What? Boy time flies when you are having fun." God I love this kid!

What are you saving your money for?

"Let's save our money to make a house on that island in Wareham, and to build a train car to get us back and forth to the island."

Thanks to Uncle Ryan and Auntie Andrea for showing him the For Sale sign on that island...

:)

He did it!

Cooper made it through the first week of school with a smile on his face! He says the highlights are PE and Library. He chose a cool Big Machines book.

Cormack survived a full week at daycare without his big brother, if only we could get him to stop crying as we leave the driveway on our way there...

Next week I'll start and hopefully then we'll all be in the swing of things. Ahhh the sweet workings of a routine. (Who'd have thought I'd ask for that??)

Hope everyone is great!

He's willing to go back...

An after bed update...

First Grade was AWESOME! Of course any kid who has PE on the first day is sure to want to return. He gives little information but says it was a great day and he can't wait to go back!

Wait till homework starts being assigned!

Waiting for the Bus

The bus comes around 8:30...at 8:15 Cooper was pacing so much we had to start out the door. He found some peas in the garden for a snack along the way!



He loves hanging out with our neighbors.



and his dad, of course!



Here he is getting on the big yellow bus for his first day of First Grade. Can you believe it??
