We had a big milestone education wise with one of the kids this week – surprisingly it was EMANUEL! he has all of a sudden decided he WANTS To write his own name and has gone all out without more than us writing it on a piece of scrap paper for a reference. I am so proud!

Emanuel!

Last night I finished up some of the hairthings too. A headband for Baby Anna and clips for Miss Trinity’s Sunday dress. I have to sit down and sort through the ribbon I do have to make up more flowers and korker ribbons as I am VERY happy with the results so far.

I spent a bit of time taking photos of the girls today only to notice AFTER that Echo’s bow was twisted but I think they are cute regardless!

The boys worked hard on their math and English and played just as hard in the basement making a massive mess.

Tomorrow we are going to work on some Halloween themed worksheets I found at this site. And decorate our Halloween tree with Perler bead shapes. After all, we can’t really decorate until AFTER the Baptism but we need SOMETHING out while we carve pumpkins. And there is the foam Halloween tree house for the kids to do with Ken.

I am not even THINKING about Christmas right now… it is so sneaking up on us!

Love the look lol
