We Love Fall

Kaleb started Pre K Sept 22, 2015. He didn't want to go but Jack got him excited because he told him how cool his old class was and how awesome the teachers are so that helped a lot.

 We got the morning schedule down pretty quick and Jack loved riding the bus so that was easy.

Kaleb had a hard few weeks when Jack would get on the bus and leave and he would make it back to Steph and Joe's house and sit on their rocks and say he was going to wait for his brother to come home.

After I would get him home Josh started inviting him on his run so they would run almost a half mile every morning, for a while.

We were excited to have Josh with us this fall. This was the first one in 5 years so we did all the fun fall things. We went to a pumpkin patch close to us and got got pumpkins to carve.

Jack played soccer for the first time on a real team. There name was The Ninja's
He wasn't interested at first but he had a really good coach and improved so much during the season. He scored 3 goals in the last few games.

Kaleb's fall fest at pre k was a blast. He loved the racing piggy game.  At first he wouldn't get into his costume. He played the shy card and wouldn't leave my side then he started playing then after about 25 min he asked me to help him get his costume on. He was starting to open up a little at this point.

We decided to take a quick trip to WV for veterans day weekend. One of my favorite things about driving home in the fall is seeing the beautiful fall colors in the hills. They hadn't changed too much on our way up but they were still pretty.

The best part about the weekend was the scavenger hunt that Josh set up for Ethan, Jack, and Kaleb.  He taught them to read a compass and they thought that was so cool. He put hints at every point until they found the grand prize. You know you're at Mamaw Kathy's when your prize comes in a crown royal bag LOL

The drive home was much more beautiful. It's crazy how much the trees can change in just 4 days.

After we got home we finally carved the pumpkins that we bought the week before.

 I think Kaleb was excited with his pumpkin haha

We also had family pictures this fall. The last ones we had was spring of 2013 so it was about time :) Of course Kaleb started out not cooperating but he finally came around.  This first picture is terrible of me but it captures the real Kaleb perfectly!
