A little of this and a little of that

First up:  Austin is taking a beginner's baseball class this Fall.  He really seems to like it!  Last week John took this video of him running.  He is the one closest to the camera.  He sure can run fast!

Next:  We had a fun time at the pumpkin farm on Saturday with Grandma.  The kids played on tractors, painted pumpkins, did a corn maze, crawled through the straw bales, and tried the big slide in the barn.  

Third: Ellie is loving her new school and her 1st grade teacher.  I am not loving the homework, though!  The homework hit pretty hard this week and it seems like it will continue like this for the rest of the year.  She has at least one assignment to do every night!  We are just not in the habit yet of making sure that homework is done each day.

Last but not least:  Austin picked one of my favorite books for bedtime last night.  "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day".  This is a fun book to read.  

When the book was done, Austin said, "Alexander always has to go potty".  

I asked, "Why do you say that?"

Austin said, "Because he is always holding his pee pee".

Take a look for yourself.  I have to agree with Austin.  That is what it looks like :-)
