Adding a little fall

Maggie helped carry the flowers to the front steps. She suddenly look so big!


She also refuses to sit long enough to take a picture.

The letter F

Since Mac is now in preschool, he sometimes comes home with assignments (yes, homework in pre-K).  Other times, he comes home with prizes.  A week or so ago he came home with the "Share Bag".  This bag allows the child to bring in 2 show-and-tell items.
Last Monday he came home with the "Letter Bag".  The idea is that you fill the bag with as many items as you can that start with the letter of the week.  The letter last week was F.
We had a good time coming up with ideas, searching for some of them, and filling the bag as best we could.  We came up with a good number of things before letting everyone else on facebook join in on the fun.

There were several ideas that we couldn't use, but we sent the bag back to school filled up with:
flag, football, flowers, firetruck, fork, flashlight, flyswatter, fish (goldfish), fruit snacks, flip-flop, fire extinguisher, finger nail file, and a frog.

Daddy's dinner adventures

Last week Mac and I made bagel pizzas.  This week we tried something I saw on the internet.  If it is on the internet, you can trust it, right?
I saw this and couldn't resist trying it.  Somehow, I don't think Samantha felt the same.
I present "spaghetti stuffed hot dogs"

Mac and Maggie loved this, especially Mac.  I had it as well and thought it was great.  Not 4 star restaurant, but, certainly good enough for the target audience.

Crazy kids

Despite Maggie having strep throat and being pretty pitiful, she still managed to have some fun today.  When we got back from our walk, she insisted that she and Mac put on helmets.  Luckily I was able to get a couple of quick shots because almost as soon as they go on, she wants them off.
