A Beautiful Fall Week

i love this picture if only Ethan hadn't crammed half his pop tart in his mouth :)

Raegan get's so excited when she sees "sammy" the dog in the yard behind us

the kids were tackling in the yard last night

Raegan was thrilled to be outside

enjoying the beautiful weather

you can be sure Avery had a shower after laying in the grass- i wish i didn't have to worry about how much they were going to itch after the girls play in the leaves!

silly boys

Trey was making a soft landing of leaves for Avery to push Raegan down into

If the weather stayed like it has been this week all year round that would be perfectly fine with me!! It has been in the 70's everyday and the kids have taken full advantage by playing outside quite a bit, it helps that i'm practically shoving them out the door saying "this will probably be your last chance to play outside while it's nice!" Avery even wore shorts to school one day, i thought that was pushing it a little much but i wasn't in the mood for arguing over it that morning!

Yesterday we got the a-ok to start bi-weekly shots, apparently the first freeze already happened. Hip-hip-hooray i'm not going to spend EVERY Tues, afternoon in a waiting room for half an hr with 4 crazy little kids :) They sometimes do very well, it's just the harder days that seem to stand out the most to me, you know how that is! Twice a month won't seem so bad. Hopefully she will do well on the bi-weekly or they will have to switch her back. She freaked me out last week, i had forgotten to give her her loratadine in the am and after her shot she started coughing a lot and started wheezing. They gave her a pill and thank goodness that slowed it way down. We did have to stay for almost an hr instead of the 20 minutes but at least nothing more came of it!

Last night i let the oldest two stay up and watch the news of the election with me. Johnny wasn't feeling well and went to bed early. Avery conked in the recliner not long after but Trey stuck it out and conked during Barak's speech. Trey and Avery were very dissapointed. They had both voted at school for John McCain. Trey had aprox. a million questions regarding the election, who was winning, what everything on the tv screen meant. Very hard things to explain to kids, when sometimes you don't understand them all completely yourself!
