Lewis at School

Every month Lewis' teacher posts photos on a private site for parents to view. It is absolutely amazing to get the fly-on-the-wall view of Lewis at school. When a 4 year old is your best source as to what he's doing at school, there can be a LOT lost in translation.   

He loves puzzles. Just discovered this over the summer.  

He also loves playdoh...and Wyatt.   

You probably wouldn't notice if you don't know Lewis well, but he's not at all happy in this photo.  

The face. Hilarious! He told me he did like this activity, but you'd never know by looking at this photo!   

He must really like this telescope. He has it in a lot of photos.  His amazing teacher. He won't admit it, but he really likes her.    He does a lot of cutting. Paper and string come home in a ziploc bag often.  

Last Week

 

We went out shopping for two hours one day. I'm not sure how that even happened but we enjoyed looking at all the toys. Lewis is sure this should go on his Christmas list and the fire truck one should go on Augustine's list. Keep dreaming kid. 

He cut his 8th tooth this week at 6 1/2 months old. All four top and all four bottom: check. 

Desperate for him to channel his energy to something other than driving me nuts. He didn't break the vacuum...phew.   

Got out some different toys, which also helps.   Grandma Susan spent some time with Lewis while I prepared for a weekend trip. So helpful! He got to steam his chocolate milk at Grandma's. 

Halloween 2016

   

Lewis gives the candy out while Augustine trick or treats. Then they share what Augustine brings home. I hope this is always the tradition!

Even Logan dressed up!   

It was so warm that we took Elias around the block with us.  

The sisters are always home and invite everyone to make a visit to their chapel. It's a special treat that we look forward to every year! 

Sr. Teresa Marie asked if she could take Elias into the chapel for a visit. ❤️ I love how much they love children. 

I said of course and he was very happy with her! She was so happy too.   Visiting Jesus on Halloween. 

Sneak Peek!

 More family photos to come!

Autumn Walk

 

It dawned on me that Elias had never taken a wagon ride, so we gave it a try one afternoon and he loved it. Augustine really enjoys pulling Lewis in the wagon, and now he has a full wagon!   

Fall Fun

 

Lewis' teacher hosted an evening of fall fun for the whole school at her turkey farm! It was a very fun evening. 

There was a treasure hunt.   

Lots of yummy treats.  A fire pit with s'mores kits.  

A hay rack ride. Lewis doesn't like hayrack rides because "hay poke me in da bottom". Augustine and I enjoyed it though, and it put Elias to sleep. 

Lewis liked the horses. They were very clean horses.   

There was an obstacle course and other fun things to play.  We also got to pick pumpkins out of the field but it was too dark for photos by then. 

This Week

 

This is Mr. Pom-Pom. Lewis drew him and named him.

My sink is Norwex clean!!! In my old house there's a lot of finish missing from this sink and the bathtub so it doesn't look clean, but it is.  

I wasn't paying much attention as Lewis tried to start another episode. Our DVD player is horrible. Since day one the wires are somehow crossed and the buttons - every single button - does whatever it pleases. It's crazy. Ad very frustrating. So as Lewis fought a loosing battle he suddenly said, "Love of Pete!" I was in stitches. 

Loves his new pizza set! 

Someone started crawling yesterday! It's the super cute robot crawl. 

Why didn't I think of this sooner! Elias' first wagon ride today. He loved it!    

Capitol adventure with Daddy. The elevator looks like the one in Curious George so they were excited.  

Lewis "helping" me with dinner. I continue to dislike cooking with...well, anyone really. I'm all about working fast and getting it done. Slow. As. Molasses. With. Kids. Add ingredient, clean up mess. Add ingredient. Clean up mess. Stir. Clean up mess. Repeat.
