Fall Activities

We have been hanging out - Ariadnee and Samarah have been sick for the last 10 days, so we did some activities that are more difficult with 4 kids - like decorating for halloween and going to the pumpkin field to pick pumpkins. We are having fun riding bikes, the weather is beautiful, and we are spending as much time outside as we can. I am doing better with school, of course then one day mom was the last one to pick me up and i was so upset - she kept saying she wasn't late, just the last one, and i still was sobbing. Izaac is now saying he "doesn't like his teachers" but mom just ignores him - he is so fine when he gets to school. It is definately hard for us to go to school at different times, knowing that the other is going to be staying with mom (and possibly having lots of fun!!!)
talk to you later!

Cooler nights

Well, it is getting cooler at night, long sleeve pjs are necessary. I am getting excited for halloween - mom and dad can't believe it is already that time again. Last year this time we had a huge snow storm, so this past weekend mom and dad totally cleaned up the back yard. Tons of junk, cleaned up and donated or thrown away, was removed from under the deck. The grass seed mama planted about 2 weeks ago is up, looking good. Mom is happy cause the outside stuff is done, before the winter comes. The lawn mower died six weeks ago, and we have been borrowing neighbors' mowers (mom only mows every couple weeks) - maybe we can avoid having to buy a new one till next year.....
I did better yesterday going to school - i have been crying and crying, not wanting to stay at school, but dad dropped me off yesterday and i didn't cry at all. I always have a great day at school, but i don't like mom leaving me. We only have 3 other girls in my class, and i think it isn't as fun as last year when we had lots of girls, but when mom comes to get me i am laughing with the boy and the girls.
Dad rode to work every day last week, and only gets in the car when he has too - taking me and izaac to school in the chariot still. Mom, on the other hand, is driving everywhere - she has 4 kids to cart around most of her days off of work.
No pictures since last blog - mom needs to get better at taking pictures on "boring" days as well as special events.
