Happy Birthday Abby!!

Abby turned two earlier this month and we enjoyed celebrating with friends and family.

 

 

Pumpkins

I have a lot of updating to do, but here's one from last weekend after carving some pumpkins.



Daddy's Thing

All the girls LOVE doing anything Daddy is doing.

Bryan has and will always be a hunter. He looks forward to the day when each of them are old enough to take them out hunting. Kaleigh has already spend several evenings last year sitting in the treehouse with Bryan while hunting. Last weekend Bryan took Kaleigh out to teach her how to shoot a bb gun. She will be quite the hunter one day.

 



note to the teacher from Kaleigh

Kaleigh has a notebook that is sent home daily with a comment or note about the day. Today she got the notebook out of her book bag and wanted to practice her letters in it. I told her, if she wanted to practice her letters in it, let's write a note to her teacher. So Kaleigh wrote, "Hi Mrs. Trumbo" and signed her name. Kaleigh just needed my help with writing the e in Kaleigh and s in Mrs. Trumbo.

 

 

Kaleigh's First Day of Pre-K

 

Kaleigh is attending Pre-K at Fulks Run Elementary School and yesterday was her first day.  Bryan will be taking her to school each day and she will get off the bus at Bryan's parents house. She had a wonderful day and I loved hearing all about it. 

Busy Morning in the Harper Kitchen

We have been very busy baking this morning. After breakfast and still in their pajamas, we made a birthday cake for Bryan's mom. Bryan's parents will be coming up for supper tonight and will enjoy the cake then.

All the girls are ready to help mix, pour and beat!!

 Abby couldn't get enough

 While the cake was baking the girls got dressed and then we were back at it in the kitchen making soft pretzels!! They are a nice treat to make every once in a while.

 The girls enjoyed the finish product while having a tea party!!



Kaleigh has always loved to help out with just about anything. Cooking, cleaning, you name it and she's usually more than willing to help. Today, I did a load of laundry and she helped me put the towels that were in the dryer away so we could add this load into the dryer. She  said that she wanted to do them and when I told her I didn't think she could reach them, she said she could with a stool and she enjoyed every minute. I kept asking her if she needed help and she kept telling me "No!" She only needed help with one lonely sock that was in the back!!

 Abby wanted to help so Kaleigh would give the clothes to her to put in the dryer. What team work!!

I sure do love my helpers!!
