Fall Fun

I absolutely love this time of year.  It is a nice break from the hustle and bustle of the summer.  Instead of getting up early to go boating and staying up late to fish; now we get up early to ride 4-wheelers and stay up late for bonfires!  It is also nice to get out and about and visit the pumpkin patch as well as the orchard.  The boys are loving the fall.  Drew and Conner both are busy with their 4-wheelers this year.  Drew is still on a rope (which makes my heart beat slow down just a little bit!) which is nice because even though he wants to go full throttle, Jason controls the speed. Conner, on the other hand, is quite the little rider.  He is getting really good - he stands up going over hills and gets in trouble almost every time for taking turns too quickly.  He has his dad's 'no fear' mentality for sure.  Conner is doing really well in school right now.  I think he is fully adjusted to the schedule and to being there each and every day.  No more tears and instead LOTS and LOTS of crazy stories.  I love their minds.  For show-n-tell for the letter "A" he took a stuffed alligator head that he bought in Florida.  However, he proceeded to tell his class that he shot the alligator and had it stuffed.  The voice mails and texts from parents that night were hilarious!  Thank goodness we all know each other well!  Drew is potty trained now (for the most part) and loves to show EVERYONE his underwear.  So watch out if you see him at Wal-mart or the movies - he will show you because he shows EVERYONE.  Conner has two loose teeth right now so we are always wiggling teeth (both Conner AND Drew's).  We are excited for the tooth fairy to come. Conner said he hopes that the tooth-fairy brings him a $20 like she did for his friend Taylor; I had to break the news that the Coatesville tooth fairy gives one dollar - he was bummed at first and then realized once he loses all of his teeth he will have $20 dollars.  I'm safe for now! Deer season also opened on October 1 so all of the boys have been busy practicing with their bows. Conner got his first "real" bow this year.  He can't quite pull it back yet - but he tries with all of his might.  Drew has a toy bow that he practices with - and then cries because he can not hit the target.  They have all been out once - but no luck!  Here are a few pictures of our fall fun!
