Loving school

Kaily loves to go to school. She has two preschools this year to keep her busy and out of my hair, so to speak. She LOVES them both so much and looks forward to them. Here are some pics taken of her neighborhood class by her teacher.

The start of my fall canning

This last weekend I was busy canning stewed tomatoes and peaches. I did 43 qts and froze 8. I also made bread and cookies. Tomorrow is spaghetti sauce and more peaches.

Labor Day

The kids and I went up to Bear Lake for Labor Day weekend. We met my parents up there and had so much fun. We drove directly to the lake and met my parents there. It was a great weekend, other than Monday when it got SUPER cold and windy.

School Time

Clint and Kaily have been in school for week now and things are finally settling down to a nice routine. We had some problems with classes being cancelled and rearranging schedules to fit the new classes. Clint LOVES his classes and I can't tell you how much that has made a difference in our family. Every day I hear about a new idea or a new project he wants to start. His teaches have told him to keep a project journal so he can reference back to it when he needs a good idea. Homewk is actually fun for him to do now and even the papers he has to write aren't so much of a chore.

Kaily loves her preschool, and her teacher. She wasn't sure about it at first, but now she LOVES it. She asks me every day if she can go, because of that I am putting her into a neighborhood preschool also. This one she will be with her church friends and she will learn different things than she does at her school. We'll see how she does for the first little bit and then we'll go from there.

Conner and I are enjoying time together. With the new change he has been taking naps earlier and I won't be spending as much time with him alone. Clint will though. I go wkout while Kaily is in school and Clint is home with Conner while he sleeps. It gives Clint time to do homewk without the kids interfering.
