~The Best of Friends~

I've been told many times about how siblings do not get along, how they end up hating each other most of the time while growing up... so for now, I'm going to enjoy where my kids are at (and HOPE that it won't change!). Hunter and Abby love each other so much and really enjoy being around each other. They are independent enough to leave each other alone but yet, still enjoy doing things together. They share pretty well (Hunter gives into her cries), and she will give up when he is stubborn about giving in. I find it interesting watching the two of them and how much they interact together. I'm sure things will start to change a bit when she is talking more... and I know that is right around the corner! She seems to be SO wanting to say more, but has a hard time coming up with the words. It is a matter of time... and that goes so quickly.

So today, we got home from a trip to Eau Claire, and we all went out to pick our pumpkins since it froze hard last night and killed the plant. We had a great time all together getting the pumpkins on the wagon. I enjoyed getting some time to take photos of my kiddos. They turned out great, and I would be tempted to use them as Christmas photos. The kids love getting their picture taken together, but Abby... oh Abby... she will NOT look at me when I want to take a picture of just her! Most of the time when I get one of just her, all I get is her attitude. But I remember this phase with Hunter, and the more acts like a ham for the camera, the more she will too. He loves getting his picture taken, just so he can look at it. Goof ball!

After we picked our pumpkins, we walked around the yard picking up "Fall things" for Hunter's classroom. This kid gets a lot of homework. Almost every night we have to do something different for the next day. I also have to keep on top of what letter he is learning in school now. This will be difficult just staying ahead of what he needs for each class! Oh well, good thing I'm done with classes now, just in time for him to start! Enjoy this fall weather... I know we are happy for the change of the season, but yet, like every year, where did the time go? In just a few short months, the snow will be falling, the kids will be stuck inside, and we will be enjoying getting ready for the holidays. Stay warm everyone!
