I am so happy I have 3 cute little girls! Lindsey and Kara are finally getting along most of the time. (I think Kara has more self-control now, so she doesn't steal toys as much as she used to). They often disappear to their room and set up all the stuffed animals to play with. In this photo, Lindsey said,"Kara, would you like a frog on your shoulder?", then she gently placed it there for Kara to pet. (Lindsey is so dainty and girly, it's funny).
Sherry asked for some pictures of Cassie, and this is the only one I've taken this month! Oops- I guess that's what you get for being number 6... and for having me as a mother. Maybe I should follow Lucy's advice and take a picture every Sunday to see how she grows. In this picture I caught Cassie sucking her thumb. She LOVES to suck on her fist or fingers.
Shadow has so much personality- he is hilarious. I'm not sure why, but he LOVES to burrow himself in blankets, drawers, hampers, etc. On this day, Lindsey pointed out that Shadow had found his way into a bag with some books in it. His new favorite spot is in my dirty clothes hamper.
Here is a picture from when I was teaching preschool during October. We were making bread, and I could not believe how excited the kids were! They thought it was the best thing ever. Unfortunatly, we didn't have enough time to let the bread rise enough, so it was very dense, but the kids loved making it... I enjoy teaching preschool, but it takes all my free time away for about 2 weeks. The best part is that I don't have to teach again until January!
Here is Larry with his soccer team. Lindsey and Olivia, the tall girl with the pink hairbow, would hold hands and run down the field together. I'm not sure if Lindsey ever scored, but she loved just running around with her friends in her pretty skirts.
Soccer practice... kind of.
check out the next blog, it also has more new pictures...
Spencer completed his first level of piano books. He really likes to play the piano and reads music really well. I find him "writing music" several times a week. His paper reads something like "AGGFEEEDCDEFG" instead of actually writing the notes on the staff. I think he's pretty cool.
Thanks to my friend, Rebecca, I now have more soccer pictures and some pictures from Wolf Lodge.
Coach Larry is leading some warmups.

Larry took the girls on a father/daughter campout a couple weeks ago. They had such a ball playing with their chickens, playstructure, and tree swing. Not to mention the campfire, movie, and sleeping in a tent! I got to watch Weaponizer with the boys and sleep in.
These past couple weeks have been so beautiful! It's been fun to work with the girls in the garden. I'm trying to actually winterize it this year. They had a ball looking for the potatoes as I would dig up the row. We also picked all the onions, some green beans, tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, raspberries, and yellow squash. I was in heaven! I love gardening!
It's been so fun to really listen to Lindsey and Kara while the older kids are at school. (They tend to take most of the attention when they're around). On this particular day, Lindsey introduced me to her friends. From right to left- Peanutbutter Jam, Big Fat, Kate Solington, and Sprinklebella (a toy horse). Kate Solington the cat then turned to Big Fat and said, "What smells, Big Fat?" I wanted to hear more, but I was laughing too hard.
