This never gets old. Like, ever.

'Twas the Night Before Kindergarten

Liam's kindergarten teacher gave him some sweet dreams confetti to sprinkle under his pillow in case he is nervous the night before his first day. 

I would say he's more excited than nervous!

Gavin Knows His ABCs ... Mostly

The best part is the LMNO. You can kind of hear it on this video.

It took a lot of pictures to get this one that is still only semi-focused. 

Procuring Pumpkins

The annual trip to Sonny Acres was this morning. This is our fifth year going with kids and it took us that long to figure out that they rent wagons for the highway-robbery price of a dollar. We don't have to juggle two kids, two pumpkins, and our sanity. 

The best part, though, was that we finally, finally got LD to agree to ride on a ride. The spinning apples (think Tilt A Whirl) won him over and he agreed without too much begging or reassuring from us. I was worried that once he was on, he would get nervous (past experience), but he loved it and even used the green wheel to spin the apple faster. Win! 

D and I are pretty sure we will never have to talk Gav into these rides.
