To start off this week, I thought I'd share some pictures of the kid's schools that I found on Twitter. I couldn't find any of Jacob yet. But, I'll keep looking. I'm new to this whole Twitter thing, but it seems to be a big deal in our school district, so I guess I better jump on board.
These are the preschool teachers that greet John every day. He thinks the blonde, Miss Sarah is the nost beautiful teacher he has ever seen! Mr. James is his teacher, but each of these teachers help load and unload him from the car every day. They are all nice and help him have a happy day. I'm grateful for that!
They studied the book, The Very Hungry Caterpillar and then acted it out. John was the three plums. He's second from the left in the blue and peach striped shirt.
This was a meeting where Rebekah and her class learned about what they'll be doing at 5th grade camp. She'll be going in November over her birthday.
Here's Rebekah in class with her friend Umi.

I love Tuesdays because we don't have a ton of stuff going on after school.
I think Jacob is happy to have time after school too. No more cross country.
John likes to eat yogurt, blueberries and honey as a snack.
Rebekah and her dog are both getting older, but they still love each other.
Today both John and Rebekah played some Halloween learning games I put together. They made Jack-O-Lantern faces out of shapes.
This is Rebekah's cat.
I introduce John to syllables. He played a game where we read a Halloween word and then he built a tower out of unifix cubes showing how many syllables were in the word. He LOVED this game!
Since Rebekah is already great with syllables, she built pictures out of unifix cubes instead.

Before dance, Rebekah wanted to try her hand at some fun Halloween monster cookies. I think she did a great job!
Everyone enjoyed eating them as a Halloween
dessert with dinner. They were yummy!

It had been a long time since we had been to Scio to visit John and Kris. We were so excited that we were able to make it there on this day. It was so good to see them, the animals and to be at the farm again!
Grandpa Center opened a new veterinarian clinic. The building he bought was once a bank. The vault is still there and we got to go inside it. It was really cool!
Jacob was hoping to find some leftover money or treasure. No such luck!
They took us to a pumpkin patch and we picked out some pumpkins for each of us. I was surprised by how inexpensive they were in comparison to the pumpkins around our neck of the woods.
Joe had a great time hitting a ball and having Henry and George run to get it.
They did this over and over and over again!
The farm always looks pretty, but I especially love it in the Fall!
We went to get some eggs to cook for lunch. The eggs these chickens produce taste amazing! I'm a little partial to the darling duck.
We helped by picking some apples. I'm not sure we even made a dent in the amount of apples to be picked. There are so many apples on these trees!
We love to visit the farm!
