Fall Days

It's hard to believe how quickly September flew by.  Even though counting down the days to my due date sometimes makes it seem like time is just crawling by, the weeks do indeed go quickly.

As a family, we are definitely in a good routine and schedule now.  Even though we have some sort of activity almost every weekday evening, my lighter workload this year (just upped to .75 FTE) has made this fall seem a little less hectic than the past couple years, at least from my perspective.  Steve is adjusting to his new role as both Middle School and High School principal, but is thankful for two wonderfully capable assistants.  Here's a rough outline of our weekly schedule outside of work:

Sunday - Church and Sunday School

Monday - Maggie - preschool, Sara - Moms in Step, Steve - School Board

Tuesday - Our day off of extra activities!  This evening is often reserved for grocery shopping and other errands.

Wednesday - Maggie -preschool, Sara - Junior High youth group, Maggie - gymnastics (only a few more classes left), Maggie - Cubbies

Thursday - Bode, Maggie, Steve, and Sara - Parent Child ECFE class

Friday - Maggie - preschool, Steve - football game

Saturday - Maggie - dance

Here are some photos of our past couple weeks:

Our Homecoming Princess in the parade on a very cold Friday afternoon.

Angelina Ballerina pre-ballet class.

We don't normally get to sit in, but this day was a parent observation day.

This late afternoon/evening was spent at Sekapp Orchard in Rochester.

I tried to discourage this, but Steve ENcouraged it.  At least I brought along some of Shaklee's Basic H2 to clean them off first.

Time to select their pumpkins.

Bode wanted one with a blueish tint.

Maggie wanted a white one.

And we were sure to get one for baby brother, too.

Gymnastics.
