This week we put up our fall decorations. The girls were sooooo excited to take a picture by the scarecrow this morning!  They have been dying to get out our fall stuff since the first leaves started turning colors about a month ago.  For the past several years, I’ve tried to hold off decorating for fall until the first “official” day of fall.  We always celebrate it by putting out our fall decor.  Now if our weather would just cooperate and get a tad bit cooler, it would feel like fall!  Nonetheless, we’re enjoying our fall decor and especially the apple, cinnamon and pumpkin spice candles I can’t stop burning in my house!

We’ve signed Sarah Grace up for soccer, but I’m not so sure this is going to be her sport!  She says she likes the practices, but she doesn’t like the games because “we play to long.”  Her first game was last week (when I took these pictures), but during today’s game Micah asked her why she was just standing there when her team and the ball were at the opposite end of the field and she said “…because I was pickin’ my nose.”  She really likes the idea of soccer, but I’m not so sure she’s going to be an athlete.  I’m thinking we should try ballet next year!

Kessed insists on carrying her own lawn chair to the game

Notice Grace’s socks tucked into her shorts - yeah, she did that herself.  Quite a fashion statement!

This must have been the position of the day.  I captured Kessed taking a nap and then that same night after she’d gone to sleep.  She just looks so “chilled out.”  I love it!

PLEASE NOTE:  For those of you who know what shirt Kessed is wearing, she’s NOT ONE.  She picked out this shirt by herself and it always makes me nervous when she wears it.  I just don’t want anybody getting their hopes up!

Sunday was a busy day this week!  We had an amazing time of worship at church.  After church, we went to Grandma Ona’s for family dinner.  Not everyone was there - it’s so hard to get the entire family of 50 plus people in the same place at the same time, but we really enjoyed ourselves.  The girls and I spent the entire afternoon there!  It was really nice to spend time with Grandma Ona and Grandpa Kenny, as we don’t get to see them as often as we used to.

The girls are so girly anymore!  They just have to have their little purses with them when we’re going to church.  I don’t ever tell them to get their purses, they just do.  They always find a purse, go raid the change container to get their offering money and they’re good to go!
