Last Week of September

With summer over we finally had a chance to meet up with the cousins and family again. Our evening was filled with excellent food and great company. The girls played and played and played some more. Laura, Sophie and Sidney entertained us with a puppet show and they did a great job!!The adults and Emilie had a wonderful supper at the table while the younger kids had a candle light meal in front of the tv.
Dessert was finished up by squirting whipped cream right into the kids mouths. Who doesn't love whipped cream???After dinner Julia kept Sidney entertained by chasing her around the house. Sid had stripped down to put on her jammies and got away and started running. The girls laughed so much and Sid loved the freedom of naked chase! Emilie as always was so wonderful and caring with Sidney. She watched her and played with her and inspired Sidney to talk about her for the next two days! Sid really loves her time with her cousins.

We didn't get home from dinner until 10:30 so Sid was a bit cranky on Sunday. It was a rainy grey day so we took Maggie's lead and decide to have a quite stay at home day to just hang out and watch the world go by.

Above is a picture of what I call Baby central. This isn't all of Sid's babies but many of them are here. She is really into babies right now and can play for hours!!!

This coming week at preschool I will be the duty parent on Thursday so I am anxious to see how Sid is with me there. Meanwhile at home we have started on fall crafts to decorate the house and we are working on numbers and seriation. We were freecycled some wonderful number card puzzles that Sid has really been enjoying. I think we have the letter B down but will leave letters for the week and pick them up again next week. Sunday we will go a live butterfly exhibit so we will try and read some things on butterflies too.

The weather has cooled down considerably and it finally feels like fall, Thanksgiving is right around the corner!
