Three MONTHS ago........

I last updated. What?!? Where did the time go????
Anyway, I had this great idea to finally get some digital photos ready to post. I transferred them and everything, carried them around with me for about a month and then gave up....
What you missed....Shaylin and Myles first day of school. Myles is the epitomy of a Middle Schooler (6th grade) with his hat and hair down over his eyes. Shaylin in her dreaded but Oh so cute uniform (1st Grade) as her school switched to uniforms this year. I was totally excited not to have clothing struggles in the morning this year but even with uniforms we still can't decide between jumper, pants, or skirt, knee highs vs tights, shoes vs boots and so on. She is such a diva!
Also missed were great shots from State Fair, Valley Fair (the kids good and soaked- Shaylin on Steele Vemon- the girl is so brave!!!), the Apple orchard.
So, we are back in the swing of school. Myles has his last football game tonight- it was a pretty tough season, only one win so far but in that win Myles scored the one and only touchdown. He is a really great player but his team just cannot get the offense together. He is taking it all in stride and is ready to start Chess anyway.
Shaylin became a Daisy Scout and is pretty cute in her smock. I pulled all my old girl scout stuff out and she was pretty impressed with my badges but hell if I know what they mean anymore. I tried to teach her "Make New Friends" in a round but she just kept repeating me when I started singing.
Shaylin is also taking swimming- She loves the water (wants to be a dolphin trainer) and has a long torso like Michael Phelps so we have dreams of Olympics one day. Hawaii 2022!!!
I am trying to take avantage of rainy fall days to organize and small household tasks. We have a kick butt Holloween scene this year, Myles had a good time making it scary, so good that Shaylin hasn't slept in her bed all night since we completed it. So much for being brave! She is being a vampress this year and will probably scare herself! Myles is opting out as he is "too old".
Well, I will try to update in another three months- Maybe I will actually have pictures posted!!!!
