My Three.

It's very, very hard to get pictures of my three kids together...well, pictures that look half decent.  Here are a few recent ones of the kids together...none of them is great, but they're all pretty good.  It's been a while since I've posted any pictures, so here they are!  And there are others to come.

At a local market, in early September:

The kids love grocery shopping (though I don't, necessarily)...the boys cartwheel down every aisle, laughing or fighting all the while.  I can't say that we're a quiet or orderly bunch when we shop...I'm sure the store staff are glad to see the back of us when we're done!

Mid-September...playing on a play structure.

Three weeks ago, on our first day of homeschool.  Matthew went downstairs first and wrote out the welcome sign.  When is it too early to start spelling lessons???

Two weeks ago, while enjoying one of the first h/school field trips of the season:

First thing in the morning.  Lizzie loves to make faces for the camera - it's tough getting a shot of her without some goofy look on her face!  This was taken just over a week ago.

The kids (the boys, basically - Lizzie just wanted to be included) voluntarily undertook leaf raking last week; they were out there for hours, over a few days, raking and collecting leaves.  Lizzie loved driving the boys a little crazy by walking through their piles and then laughing when they shrieked at her to stop!

Picnicking last week, on another spectacular fall day.  My Mom surprised us with a picnic supper, and it was great to be outside for one last picnic of the year.

On Friday, the kids enjoyed their snack in an unusual spot...on top of the van.  They spent an hour or so up there, enjoying the view of the trees and waving to cars passing by on the street.

Still on the van...adorable, aren't they??!!

  4. My favourite is the bottom one, but they are all cute! I love Matthew's Welcome to Homeschool sign! He's got all the basic sounds right.
