Ah, fall. It's my favorite season of the year. I love the cooler weather, and seeing the beautiful mountains change color. There's a certain excitement in the air when the kids head back to scho
ol, with their new clothes, and new school teachers. Kate started her first year of preschool. She loves it. I'm so glad I decided to put her in this year. She will have two years of preschool, and I thought that maybe that was over kill, but boy was I wrong. Kate loves going, and I get to give kirk more attention. He is loving it up! He loves to sit on my lap and read stories. I've been trying to help him learn colors. It's been three weeks and he still hasn't gotten it! I'm starting to wonder if he's color blind or something. When Kate's at preschool Kirk is always asking "where's Kate?" I think he misses her when she goes, but a little space has been a good thing. They seem to play better, and not fight as often. Another really fun part about sending Kate to school is that I have a reason to get her all dressed up. I took a picture of her in one of my favorite outfits. Kirk was ready to step right up and get his picture taken as well. Yes I know he has a bottle in this picture! I've got a two and a half year old who still drinks from bottles! But he is so insistent, and I haven't got the heart to take it from him. He is still my youngest, so I indulge him alittle bit. I've been feeling much better lately. I'm past the whole sickness stage. Right now I just get soooo tired every afternoon. Right after lunch time I start to feel the drain. Luckily that's Kirk's nap time, so I get to have some rest. Tonight Dan took Kirk up to the Father's Son's camp out with the ward. Dan's been so excited to take Kirk camping. He said he was going to teach him man stuff up there, (Whatever that means)? I took Kate for a little girls night out. It was fun to be just the two of us. That doesn't happen very often, and I think she enjoyed it. We went and got her pictures taken at the mall since she just turned four. Then I bought her some chich-fil-a, and a hot fudge sundae. While she was eating the ice cream she kept complai
ning that it was making her head hurt. I told her she's just gotten her first "Brain freeze". She thought that was pretty funny. I had a couple of things to return, and then I bought her some new ballet tights. Then she fell asleep on the way home. I was excited about the way the pictures turned out. She as grown up so much. I was just thinking on the way into the mall about all of the past years we have done this. I've taken her into kiddie Kandids for pictures for the past three years. I felt like she was still two and no time had past at all. I'm so frightened that I will blink and all of a sudden she'll be sixteen. These truly are the moments to cherish. Our kids are our most priceless possessions. I am so grateful to be a mother!
