A line with a hat and a foot

As you may know, Cordel is just this little smartypants 

who could spell his name, knew all the letters, letter sounds, 

shapes, colors, counting to 20---all by age 3. 

And, God Bless him, look what he's teaching his sister now!! 

He is so patient with her and I absolutely love listening 

to him teach her.

She's 3, and this is how the conversation goes....

Sydnie: What comes after "S"?

Cordel: "Y"

Sydnie: A line with an up and an up?

Cordel: Yes

Sydnie: What comes after "Y"?

Cordel: "D"

Sydnie: Down and around?

Cordel: Yes

Sydnie: What comes after "D"?

Cordel: "N"

Sydnie: Up, Down, Up?

Cordel: (sigh) Yes

Sydnie: What comes after "N"?

Cordel: "I"

Sydnie: A line with a hat and a foot?

Cordel: a little frustrated---Yes, sissy!

Sydnie: What comes after "I"?

Cordel: "E"

Sydnie: A line with three legs?

Cordel: Yes

 Sydnie: I did it!!

Breakfast at Ms. Kenzie's

I have 7 kids on average at my house on Mondays and Tuesdays. 

As you can see, it gets a little crowded but we manage!

At Swore Farms

  

Cordel, Madison, Sydnie

 Adorable Lil Punkins!!

It's a tradition to go to Swore Farms each year with our good friends Wendy and Madi. We've done it since Cordel and Madi were just barely a year old! This time of year has so much magic and fun in the air. Starting with going to the pumpkin patch right up to New Years Eve--- I LOVE it all!

The Last Harvest

When that time of year comes around, when you're not sure if it's gonna freeze, picking what you can outta the garden becomes necessary! This is our bounty. PLUS about 19 pumpkins! Seriously, could those zucchini's get any bigger?

First Day

Cordel's first day of school. 

Such a wonderful, exciting, 

 scary, fun, and confusing day! 

For me, anyway! He was just plain excited!
