PLAYDOUGH!!! Turkeys making turkeys for Thanksgiving. ;-) Check out this most creative turkey that Evrit made at school. He was very proud (and most excited about the marshmellows)!

 

What do you do while watching a movie in the middle of the afternoon??? and Silliness before Soccer - Have a great weekend!

Way to Go, Tennis Pros!

These kids are growing up too quickly! At age 3, Evrit is wearing big boy size 1. At age 6, Madeline is wearing women size 8. WOW! As my dad always told me, "You have a firm foundation, kid!" :-)

A Little Tennis

Madeline with Coach Vijay. What a fun season! Hope to see you in the spring, my Volanoes friends.

Another season of soccer comes to a bittersweet ending. Go Piranhas!

Along with soccer, Evrit is taking a tumbling class. Check out his class of girls.

Playing dress-up and chase in the house... Here is the chaser with his karate belt and magic wand.

To finish out the pictures for the month of October, I thought I would send a collage of Halloween pictures that didn't make a daily appearance. The kids had a great time dressing up for the several events we attended for the season and enjoyed modeling for the camera. Enjoy!

I have new shoes, hat, and "dubs". See me punch. That is what I do. Want a piece of me?!!!

Sheer Determination

ALL BY MYSELF! - Climbing the Tree and Drawing Sponge Bob

Evrit has just recently started to be interested in Legos. The other afternoon I asked him to build a house for me. I was VERY impressed as he hadn't really created anything with the Legos before this time. I told him that we could put the creation on his dresser to "save it" until later as it was nap time. When Madeline came home from school, she noticed the creation and asked about it. I told her that Evrit made it. She suggested that I helped him. I told her that actually Evrit built it all by himself. She was so very impressed and gushed over the creation and Evrit for at least 5-10 minutes! I could not have paid for a better reaction. It was PRICELESS!!!

BATMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Macaroni and Cheese Quesadilla and Student of Virtue - Responsibility

Evrit has rediscovered the greatness of his Super Why costume from last Halloween. He likes wearing the costume and playing with his Super Why guy. :-) Then he became the SOCCER Super Why.

Malcolm enjoys fishing and Madeline likes to watch and question the fishermen. Her love is being on the water. Unfortunately, I didn't get a picture of her on a kayak, but she maneuvers like a professional. What fun it is to watch her! Evrit is the real fisherman and he is with his Meemaw, who also loves to fish. I guess it is in the genes!

We went to a friend's wedding and had a night on the town. Who knew there was a sleeping cat in the middle of downtown Fort Worth???
