We enjoyed another Onion Days Labor Day!
When Tyson got home from work at 7:30 Labor Day morning we all loaded up and headed to Payson. Tyson went dove hunting with Steve and then slept the rest of the day. The rest of us watched the parade with the Provstgaard family. Then the Cook family met us in West Mountain to pick raspberries. It was hard work! We went to lunch at {old} Grama Page's and then to the carnival. The boys went on all the rides with Crew and each won a prize playing darts.
Callan started preschool on September 2nd. He goes to school Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday every week from 11-1. His teacher is Miss Julie. He loves it. Although he is very smart, he is my air headed child who is just happy to be there! Doesn't have a clue what he learned or what his friends names are. He's just there for a good time. We love his care free personality!
He prepared his "textured name" to bring on the first day. C is for crackers. A is for apple seeds. L is for lipstick and licorice. A is for apples (he was dead set on gluing those pom poms on for apples!) and N is for noodles.
He loves his backpack! There are at least 3 other boys in the class with the same one!
And while he was gone Finley and I enjoyed 20 minutes of alone time! That's right folks. There is a 40 minute overlap between Easton and Callan's school. So by the time I do all the dropping off and picking up we get 20 minutes! But we'll take what we can get!
Cute boys on a Saturday morning.
Easton was messing around on his friend's treadmill and got some serious road rash! When it first happened I was worried because I thought his neck was bruised! But it all just scabbed over and peeled off eventually. He still has a good scar on that chin part. We practiced how he would explain to his teacher what happened in his own words so she wouldn't think I beat him up, but don't worry he had a sub that day!
Easton learned to ride a two wheeler! It only took a couple tries and now he's fearless!
Fin loves noodles! Ramen noodles and chow mein are his favorites!
The boys finally got beds. They had been sleeping on mattresses for way too long! We ordered these from Amazon and it took Tyson and I 5 HOURS to put them together. Notice he's basically wiped out under the bed and Callan's like, "uh dad?"
We had a few chilly days in September and pretended it was time for cozy clothes!
Baby bum!
Callan had his first field trip at Riverdale Park. We walked around a trail looking for shapes and made shape snakes.
Easton was the Star of the Week the second week of school. He did a great job coloring his poster.
He brought home some interesting things from school including an official declaration of his favorite family member: "Tomis"
And a packet where he wrote his name 100% backward. Don't worry I googled all types of learning disorders, but I think maybe he was just being silly...
I swear I spent the entire month of September scrubbing the blinds in this house. How do people ever let them get this bad?!?!?! And how do people sell their house without cleaning them first?!
We had some long nights while dad worked and Fin got his molars. And Callan, well he just doesn't like to go to bed. Ever.
There was a tender moment or two.
We had the Cooks over for Sunday dinner. Collette took some awesome super hero pics for the boys.
We went to Easton's school carnival.
I found Tyson in the backyard tending to his flock in preparation for his Canada trip. So many people on insta thought these were real. :)
We have wolf spiders.
Topping of our September we had some of our Lehi neighbors come have a sleepover. The boys had missed their friends so much! We had pizza and popcorn and watched Sheriff Callie's Wild West. Getting the kids to sleep wasn't easy, but they finally settled down so the moms could have a little time to chat and catch up. In the morning we had breakfast and went to the Hill Aerospace Museum.
Turns out there is a second building that we never knew existed! How did we not know about this! The kids loved dressing up and doing science experiments. We had a great time! The next day the boys were an absolute nightmare! They were banned from ever having a sleepover again! Maybe next time just a long play date!
