Wake up happy

Just up from a nap with my favorite boy!

Ha!  I must be hilarious!

Reach for the moon

Do all kids like the moon? 

Harlan spots the moon before the sun goes down, and just like Wavy, 

loves to reach for it.

One day, I'm sure they will find a way to catch the moon!

Pumpkin Paintin'

It's that time of year; 

time for the annual pumpkin painting party!

Everyone painted a pumpkin! 

Harlan and Wavy started with a variety of colors. 

Wavy's white pumpkin ended up a dark, purple-black color by the time she was finished with her art work!

We had so much fun playing with our friends!

Even the adults joined in the pumpkin painting fun...

Pappy painted a witch on his pumpkin, 

while Uncle Map painted a bass fish. 

Later, after the paint dries, Pappy will load up the wagon with all the pumpkins,

and set them up for display on haystacks near the road. 

Just Dance

Our 5th dance lesson... 

and we finally have smiles!

.

Waverly caught sight of mommy looking through the window 

at her and that was all she needed to let go and have fun. 

Though I had assured her many times before that I was just outside the door in the hallway, 

she just wasn't convinced.  

After that, though, she was ready to dance!

She paid attention to Ms. Raven and followed all of the dance steps.  

The girls are learning how to do a plie, and practice bending their knees while standing up tall. 

Waverly particularly likes the little games they play, like butterfly catcher and peanut butter & jelly, to learn the movements. 

It was wonderful that Wavy is enjoying dance so much more, 

as she's become more comfortable in her class!

This week is brought to you by the letter... I

The star of this week is the letter I! 

Waverly did great writing her upper- and lower-case I's. 

We had ice cream, made an inch worm and a picture of a bowl full of scoops of ice cream. 

This was a fun week!
