I'm no Bill Nye

but that didn't stop us from doing some cool science stuff as we read "Katy and the Big Snow" and "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening".

I had read about this on all the Pinterest boards, and was really happy that we could finally have a chance to make our Borax Crystal snow flake crystals.

We even made a snowman! :)

Storyboard

You are quite a prolific artist, and I've tried to make sure you've been able to  have materials within easy reach, so that you can express yourself that way.

 

 

You have recently, though, been incorporating more and more elaborate storylines into your drawings, which you call "levels", like in your Angry Bird games, complete with teleport portals, explosions, signage and whatnot.

It's Pumpkin Season

You 've grown up with a camera in your face just about every day, so naturally you can pose/ham it up at the drop of a hat. :)

 

 But, more often than not, it's almost like you're NOT looking at the camera on purpose, prefering to just do your thing... which is great with me, since I think candid shots capture your personality better :)

 

You were really more interested in picking out the straw from the hay bales more than hanging around and posing, but no matter :)

 

Nothing better than flinging straw into the wind once you're done with it :)

 

Expanding the Mind

We got you a Magnaform set earlier in the month, and you have been getting more and more creative with the set. :)

 

You are always working with them, and insisting on surprising me with ingenious little works of art/creativity that get a little more intricately designed with each passing day.

Fall is here again..

Not officially, but still,

the kids are back in school
( this isn't a pic of you going to school, but of your Angry Birds backpack at church, which though seemingly larger than a little boy could carry, only had a stuffed moose and some crayons in it :)

.. and..

THE BEAN IS OPEN AGAIN!!!!

Man, you had been waiting all summer long, and each time we passed ACU, you would ask, "Mummy, is summer over? Is it autumn yet?", and all because we had told you that the Bean was closed for the summer, and would only reopen in the fall :)

ANYWAY, the first opportunity we had, we had lunch there, much to your delight :) Not only do you love the food ( and especially the ice cream at the end ), but you also love being able to roam pretty freely and us not freak out about cars and the like :)
