Arts Gone Wild by Autumn

Autumn and Molly went to the Zoo with the Sneed family back on 8-8. To bad for the gang it was also a big art festival, Arts Gone Wild. Opening day too. Autumn has been to busy to blog so here goes.

Play time for polar bears.

Cheese.

Hi mom miss you.


To bad Sully will not hold still.



This egg hatched twins.




I stuck.





Home sweet home






The whole gang (minus Lori).







Big hug








Time to spread our wings.
(And fly back to school says mom. Look like fun to bad Pete and I missed it)









Help?

So this weird thing popped up in our rock garden. Does anyone know about a hen and chick blooming?


It cool I just haven't seen it before.

Autumn's new classmate

Molly has decided she is going to be Autumn's new classmate.


What is bigger Molly or the backpack?


1st day of 4th grade!

Can we say to grown up! You can't stop it can you? They grow up whether you like it or not. Autumn's 1st day of 4th grade was the 20th. We had everything all planned out shower, hair, outfit, jewelry, etc. for weeks. The morning of nerves got her going so fast she was done at 8:00 and we don't leave till 8:30. Than I got "can we go now" about 50 times in that half hour. I hope she is still saying that in November but I'm not holding my breath. She has Mr. V (long last name that's what everyone calls him) the teacher she wanted but is also afraid of having. He is the toughest in a good way. Everyone that has had him loves him if they want to learn. I think he will be great for Autumn. Wish us luck though I have been told expect 2 hours of homework every night. I do love the fact that he expects the kids to be responsible for themselves and he expects the patents to be involved. Where has this teacher been and can he move along with us? I'll keep you up dated.

Jumping

So have I told you Mo likes jumping? I got her an Elmo DVD (FYI loves "Melmo") about being healthy. The first part is all about jumping. I was ready to die in about 5 minutes. Not that she needs much help to do this scary enough.





Are you tired yet I'm by watching but not Mo!



Driveway fun

I know it sounds funny but we have lots of fun in our driveway. This was the last day before we had to go back to school and we spent most of it outside. We drew many pictures. Molly wants to help and she just doesn't understand why Autumn doesn't want her standing in the middle of her picture.
This is sun and moon by Autumn.

I'm trying to teach Molly hopscotch I know a little early but she loves rocks, she loves jumping, so one day she should love this game.


Getting a closer look.




See how Autumn does it.





This is what mom was having fun with in the driveway. Yes we did it, we got rid of the Venture with 139,000 mile on it. I think we got our money out of that car. We now have a KIA Sedona 2008. I took the mom mobile back and Pete is driving the Honda now. I love the fact that neither of our cars don't over heat now. Sorry we couldn't help out in Nashville mom and dad but next summer we can seat 7 again. The funny part is ...




We now look like Twinkies with the Sneeds. Thank goodness we got different colors. Lori laughed though she almost got this color. KIA calls it green gray? No it is not the computer I think some one in the paint naming department is color blind. We like it what ever they want to call it.

Lauren B-day

This weekend was Lauren's B-day. We had a great time. Autumn's Grandma Marcia even let us borrow her for a while so she could a join us. Thanks!

I think Mo missed her boyfriend.


When dad and Mo play, sometimes I don't watch.


Mason told his grandma Marcia lots of good stories.




But you know Mo she couldn't be topped.





Come on Mason get up and walk...






So you can join in the family football game.







Flag in the play, Mo you are to little.














Mason you wear your food well. So do you Molly. Watch out Ashley Molly seems to be eyeballing your cake. Molly's summer buddy JJ (Jessie). She misses her already.

Georgi B-day party

The George kids (aka Georgi) both have summer B-days so every year we all try and get together for a party. Molly hates flirting with boys still. Yeah cake time Mikey on one side, Gabi to the other. Or that was the plan...

What happened was Mikey got so close he missed his candles and blew out Gabi's...

Than Gabi tried to blow out her candles and notice it was already done so she went to blow out Mikey's (seems fair)...

Then Mikey noticed his were not out and blew them out too. Got to love little brothers huh Gabi.

Ok, pinnata time Gabi first you owe her that Mikey.

Let him have it Mikey. A swing and a...

Miss. Thank goodness it is football season. Ha Ha Ha.

Alright Iva show him how to break a pinnata.

Or the stick. Not quite what you were trying to do huh Iva.

Finally! Candy!


Poor horse. Molly was very upset.

Wow like we starve them.

You better get in there Mo you need to learn how to hang with is group of big kids.

Good job Mo.

What a great day. Thanks for having us over. Most important Happy Birthday Gabi and Mikey and many many more but can you slow down just a little?
