Parent teacher conferences

Last week, we had parent teacher conferences, and you boys made out like bandits.

Jax-Mrs. Brown is very impressed by you and thinks you are such a smart, sweet boy. I think she is provinding such a fantastic learning environment for you and really seems to understand you and your quirks.

Cole-Dr. Moore loves your little personality and commented that while she can teach a lot of things, you already have respect for others and authority and that is hard to teach! Dr Moore was jackson's 3rd grade teacher, so we already hold her in such high regard.

With Halloween coming up this weekend, we have carved one pumpkin so far, made two trips to the pumpkin patch, and roasted some pumpkin seeds, but you are both ready to carve again, so that will be a weekend project for us.

Last night, Jax had a 50’s themed musical at school, and rocked it wearing a leather jacket, white t-shirt and rolled up jeans.

My (not so little) helpers.

 You can't possibly know the depth of my love for the both of you. But every day you find little ways to show me how much you love me. Today I said I was going out to work in the yard. And, here comes Jackson right behind me ready to pull weeds and trim bushes. He pulled up what was left of the garden. Then, here comes Cole ready to help as well. He helped me cut back hostas and then cut me some beautiful hydrangeas.

We have had a fun filled weekend. Yesterday was a trip to the pumpkin patch in the morning followed by soccer for Cole, and then the amazing Habiger Halloween party. Always a hit. This year mom and dad went as the Black Swan and the White Swan. It was epic. After that, the boys and I made a quick stop by a wedding reception for a coworker, and then headed back home.

Today More soccer for Cole, a bike ride on the parkway, and a trip to the park. Top it off with some football in the yard. And a little bit of blitz ball and it's been a fantastic day.

Train up a child in the way she he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.
