It is the end of September and I think summer is trying to make its appearance? This last week has been beautiful! Especially with all the leaves changing colors. I think we have had more sun these past couple weeks and warmth than we had during our actual summer. The kids have been excited that they actually get to go swimming outside! It looks like our nice weather will continue for a few more days. I am enjoying this as much as I can as I know it will not last, especially since October is only a couple days away!
Trevor has been enjoying school and soccer. His favorite subjects our computer lab and library. So far he has played 2 soccer games. He is enjoying it, and slowly starting to understand the concept. It is funny to watch all the little kids hover around the ball following it where ever it goes. He is already asking when he gets to play baseball! We have a few more months for that one...
Kara and Allie are now onto 3 word sentences! GO KARA!! GO ALLIE!! Pretty soon they'll be able to use full sentences. They are getting so big! Lately they love it when we wrap them as burritos for nap time. You can here them in their room, "mommy, burrito!" So I go in their and swaddle them tight. You would think that 2 years wouldn't want to be swaddled, although their brother asks sometimes too, silly kids!

Extreme Sports... Take Two!!
The event today is how fast can we switch places in our high chairs? The girls were sitting comfortably in their high chairs eating fish crackers. For some reason I decided this would be a good time switch the laundry. These girls are fast and fearless! The laundry room is right next to the kitchen so I thought I would be able to hear them... When I came out they both started giggling when they saw me. Both girls had gotten out of their high chairs and were on each others trays starting to get into their new seats! The time it took them to do this... 2 minutes!!
Later that evening, They played how fast can you snatch Daddy's chips? We were finishing up dinner and Daddy had left 2 chips on the table while he was drawing the girls' bath water. I went into the kitchen (which is basically the same area as the dining room) turned around and put the enchiladas in the fridge. You would have thought I had learned my lesson from the days previous event, but thinking I was right there they wouldn't try anything, boy was I wrong! Within those few seconds of turning my back to put the enchiladas in the fridge Kara decided she would be the one to go for the chips! When I turned around she had gotten out of her high chair crawled across the table and grabbed both chips. The girls thought it was pretty funny. I went over to her but let her finish to see what she was going to do. She crawled back to Allie and gave her a chip. What a sweet sister to share in the prize :)
Earlier I had caught them in the act of trying to scale their changing table. Looks like that one is leaving very soon! They also like to try and get on the window sills since they have a ledge where they can stand. Every time they try one of these tricks I just shake my head and say "your brother never did this!" Soon we will have nothing left in our house, as our little monkeys use the most basic things to get climb on. With Trevor we were able to tie the kitchen chairs to the table legs, but not with the girls, they will use those chairs to climb on the table. So if you ever come to our house, that is why you will never see chairs at the table, except for when we are eating :)

Entering the school years...
Trevor woke up at 4am the morning that Kindergarten started! He was so excited to be riding the bus and going to school. We eventually got him to crawl back into bed with us, but that didn't last very long. His friend Caitlyn came over to ride the bus with him. She is in 3rd grade now so she is an experienced bus rider :)
When he seen the bus he ran over to catch it. He hopped right on the bus without looking back. We called to him to turn around so we could get a picture, but we could only get his backside. We crossed the street so we were on the side of the bus he was and waved "bye" to him. Allie and Kara kept saying "Bye Bye Trevor".
We then loaded the girls in the mini and followed him to school. He got right off the bus and was headed to the spot his teacher had told him to go during orientation. He acted like he has been doing this for months! We stayed with him as his class walked to the classroom. When it was time for the kids to go into the classroom he turned around waved and yelled "Bye Mom, Bye Dad!" and walked into the classroom.
Caitlyn rode the bus home with him also. They got to ride next to each other so that was good. Trevor said he had a fun day and made some new friends but didn't remember their names :) He got to play on the computers but he said it wasn't enough time but it was still fun. He got two recesses and got to eat lunch at school! He can't wait to go back. To bad he only goes 2x a week. It seems like he had a great first day.

Happy Birthday Allie and Kara!!
It is hard to believe that my babies are now 2!! They are getting so big. They have a huge vocabulary and are slowly learning how to put two words together. Soon they'll be talking in sentences! They still love to climb and play in the dirt as well as shoes and tutus. Very well rounded little girls :)
The morning of their birthday happened to be Trevor's first day of Kindergarten. The girls were up early so we all walked Trevor to the bus. As Trevor was leaving on the bus they kept saying "Bye Bye Trevor" It was so cute! We then loaded them up in the car and followed Trev to his first day of Kindergarten. After that we came home had breakfast played awhile then got dressed and took them to lunch. They had a lot of fun having Mommy and Daddy all to themselves.
After there nap Trevor came home and we played outside and ate dinner out there even though it was cold! We then ate fresh brownies right out of the oven with vanilla ice cream :) They were on a sugar high so bed time came a little later. They loved it when we sang Happy Birthday to them. Hopefully they'll like the attention again at their party.

Budding Artists for hire
If anyone is need of some redecorating, we have two adorable budding artists for hire. They will redesign your walls, doors, floors, toys. Whatever you want them to do. Just feed them and they will be happy! We guarantee the artwork will be one (two) of a kind!
Earlier in the day as I was cleaning the kitchen and high chairs from the girls rather messy breakfast, (I just started putting milk in their cereal) I noticed the girls running from the toy closet over to our bedroom door. I walked over to see what they were doing. Our bedroom door along with the bathroom door had beautiful artwork all over! I looked a little closer and they had redesigned some toys too.
I had sent Trevor outside a few minutes earlier to play and didn't realize he had left the toy closet open. The girls found the markers and pulled them out of the drawer and went to town. Our white doors now have a splash of color.
We have gotten use to having things a little lower for Trevor to get to them. Now the girls are big enough to reach almost anything in that closet. It has been about a month since we took the gate down that protected the closet if it was left open. Looks like it is time to find a new home for Trev's art supplies :)
