Another one bites the dust. . .

     I cannot believe how fast time is flying by! Asher turned 8 months this week, Pace will be 3 in 2 weeks, Katie Grace will be 6 in 2 months! AAAGGGHHH! Make it stop! They are all growing up too fast!
     We have had a really good couple of weeks in the Pace department. He is still having attitude when you correct him, every once in a while, but as a whole it has gotten much better! Doggone that boy, though, he just makes me laugh!
     We are getting into a routine now with our new fall schedule. Sarah Joy has a pretty fun reading teacher. She reads aloud to the class with LOTS of excitement! Sarah Joy says its really good!  She is reading a series about Kung-Fu fighters and called a local Karate center and got each one of  her reading students a free week of lessons. Unfortunately, we will not be able to utilize SJ's because the times are during Monday's dance and Wednesday's church activities. She could go to the Thursday lesson, but not sure the karate center would go for that. I may call and check just to be sure though. I thought that was so cool, that she would take the time to seek out something fun to let the kids experience what they had been hearing about in the book. I know there are alot of wonderful teachers out there, but I am thankful that alot of them are at our school!
     Not too much else going on here! Hope all is well with your circus!

Asher is growing. . .

So people say it all the time, and I know he is getting big, but last night when I was changing Asher's diaper, a pair of Pace's pajama pants were sitting on the changing table. . .so I tried them on Asher! Hahahaha, they are 2T and while they were too long, they were not gaping at the waist either! So funny! That little boy isn't gonna stay little long! It is so hard to believe that I am less than five months from having a 1 year old, a 3 year old and a 6 year old. . .  and not long after that Sarah Joy will be in double digits! They are all growing too fast!

Katie Grace loved her dance class last week! She came out very happy. Sarah Joy loved her classes, too- especially jazz. She has her first tap class, today! It's at the new studio, we can't wait to check it out!

Open House is tonight at school, we are looking forward to going and making sure all is well for both girls.

More in Katie Grace news. . .

This morning before school, Katie Grace lost her first tooth! She is soooooo excited! She had eaten a bite of an ear of corn on Monday night and gotten it really loose! Andrew told her last night he felt sure it would come out today if it did not come out in her sleep! She also starts dance today! This is her first year with Mrs. Lackey and we are looking forward to it. Sarah Joy has had Mrs. Lackey for several years and has always loved her. Sarah Joy's first class will be Friday. They didn't have it Monday because of Labor Day, so we will be dancing on Monday, Wednesday and Friday this year! Fun times ahead!

Falling in the Mud. . .

So this morning, I got a phone call to bring Katie Grace some more shoes. She had fallen in the mud at school. When I get there, I saw a happy little girl! Katie Grace has gotten to where it seems like she is crying at the smallest things, so I was expecting to hear that she had cried when she fell in, but they said she didn't and that she never got upset. I told her how proud Andrew and I were that she was a big girl when she slipped and fell! We sent extra clothes at the beginning of the year, so when I got there, she had already changed clothes, just needed shoes.  They handed me her dirty clothes in a wal-mart bag. When I got home, I pulled out the clothes to clean them, and I think the pants might be a lost cause. I scrubbed, and they are currently soaking. She had only gotten a little on her shirt and it came out really quickly. I got her shoes clean, too, but those pants are another issue. Yep, her middle name's Grace.  Love that child.
