It's FALL!!! We're just a little bit excited. Sooooo, we decided to do a fall project for our bulletin board (that I haven't changed since the beginning of July! So now that it's the middle of September...sigh). Tempera paint was on sale at Hobby Lobby. It was meant to be. Admittedly, paint stresses me out a little. We took all the precautions but, never fail, a handprint usually ends up somewhere that it shouldn't. Today, however, was a success!
Apron clad children (one mad because I made her stand still - how dare I!).
Painting the hand and arm brown. Hudson said, "I can't believe you're actually doing this to me!" Neither can I, son. Neither can I.
Finger painting the falling leaves.
The finished product! So individually unique.
This is me after cleaning up Adelle and the rest of the mess - happy we did a project and happy it's all over!
In other news, school is going great. We're doing Classical Conversations this year and we love it. We're all learning a lot and enjoying getting to know other home-schooling families with the same goals and like-minded teaching style.
I'm still training every morning and a couple nights a week as well as teaching at the Y. Never thought I would see my alarm consistently set to 4:30 AM!!! But it is and I'm enjoying it ... and drinking lots of coffee.
The boys just started playing soccer at the Y and they are in their element. Alayna would love to be in ballet but we'll probably wait until she's 4. I think Adelle would probably love to be rock climbing. That child's favorite spot is in the middle of my kitchen table. I think this precious toddler has cured me of baby fever - I have my hands full! And I love it :)

Super cute. I don't love paint either.lol. Nice job.
I might do that fall craft with Charlotte. Hers will be a fall bush though. Can't wait to squeeze your kids in a few weeks.
