I like to meow it...

Anna does a really great dance and sings "I like to meow it meow it!"  She shows this off at the end of this video.  She wanted to play the drums with the song first.  She made up this song after hearing "I like to move it move it!" 

Anna

This is what Anna and I did while Lukey was at school today.  Lukey helped with editing these pictures.  He liked Sepia a lot.

It was really sunny out.

Edge blur...shows movement.

Lukey playing soccer

Lukey has been going to soccer class on Sundays this fall.  He does a really good job of playing all the games and has a lot of fun.  He is the loudest there and one of the only ones that responds (very loudly) when then teachers ask them questions.  This embarrassed him a bit last class when the coach asked "is everyone ready?" and Lukey yelled 'YEAH!!!'  The coach appreciated this enthusiasm and walked over to him and told him, "Luke, you don't know how happy I am that you are here!"  Lukey didn't talk for the rest of the class...poor boy was embarrassed.  Hopefully he'll forget about that by next class and be back to his regular excited self!

Nana's birthday weekend and first day of school

This weekend we did our annual girls trip to the Rochester Art Fair.  Maeve and Anna had a lot of fun playing together.

There was a kids arts and crafts area.  The girls made masks.  Anna made a kitty mask.

On Sunday we played and celebrated Nana's birthday.

The candles got re-lit about 5 times so the kids could have multiple times taking turns blowing them out.

Lukey went to his first day of 4 year old pre-school on Monday. He goes 4 mornings a week.  So far he seems to really like it and seems to be doing a great job!  Other than one kid, all of the kids in his class were in the 3 year old program he was in last year.  So, he already knows a lot of the kids.  

Apple Orchard

I'm a little behind on the blog, but we went to the Plymouth Apple Orchard about 2 weeks ago.   The kids had fun playing with the animals, but mostly liked sitting on the tractors.  

We tried to recreate one of our favorite pictures from last year.  It didn't work at all.  

Anna has taken more of an interest in accessorizing lately.

Da bought them some donuts. 

Corn Roast and Uncle Tim's party

Yesterday we went to the Canton Corn Roast then headed out to Augusta for Tim's Uncle Tim's annual party.   Tim and Sherri's house is on a lake in Augusta (near Battle Creek) and was very nice.  We had a lot of fun.  

 The Corn Roast was very busy.  The food was really good.  This was the only picture we took.  The kids had fun eating, getting balloon animals, playing on a bounce house and looking at the petting farm.

The kids went on their first boat ride!  We went fast.  They both liked it.  Anna was just a little scared at first but then really liked it.  I went out on the boat again later to attempt to waters ski.  After about 5 or 6 tries and getting up maybe about 2 seconds, I gave up.  When we got back to shore, Anna asked, "Mommy, why did you keep falling?"

Lukey looks a little unsure...

Lukey looked like a teenager lounging here with his watermelon.

End of Summer Photo Shoot

They were so excited to take pictures!  This wasn't very successful.
