Well, Maria had a good first week of school, if you don't count missing the bus on Friday! She was so excited and happy to get back to school. Hanging around at home was just so boring for her! ;) I h
ave to say I miss the extra pair of hands during the day. She was really good about helping out with Duncan and really enjoyed it. She loves her new teacher. She loves being in choir this year and is looking forward to their performances. But best of all she loves her new saxophone!! :) I think getting that saxo
phone was her focus for the last part of the summer, and she was so thrilled to be able to finally bring it home and try it out after the first week of school. It was ultimately the saxophone that caused her to miss the bus on Friday. She was outside waiting for the bus and then remembered she need to take $1.25 to school to buy a reed for it so she could play it over the weekend (although we didn't know at the time that it came with one). She spent most of Friday evening and a good chunk on Saturday testing it out, playing random notes, which sometimes sounded like actual songs. I think she's going to be a natural! It takes a certain amount of skill just to blow and get an actual note to come out since it's a reed instrument. We are all pretty excited about the saxophone. It's such a gorgeous instrument. I was surprised at how shiny and pretty it was :)

's discovered that he can fit his little butt into his new dumptruck, so something new for Maria to push him around in ;) he just loves getting rides! And I just had to throw in the pic of him eating his lunch... 
if all else fails eat it right from the bowl!

And of course I had to throw in a bunch of new pics of Beatrice! :) Last week it was in the upper 80's most of the week, but the past few days it's actually been chilly! In the upper 50's and lower 60s!! It looks like the seasonal change is here - up here anyway... we noticed the trees were already starting to turn the week before last when there was a spell of lower temps... Tonight there is a frost warning! So tonight will probably be the first frost of the season, and I bet it's all downhill from there! Time to drag out the winter coats and such... so much for a gradual shift in temps...

How do the little piggies go?
That's right. Oink, oink.
Now, show me how the piggies eat.
This is your trough.
Show me how the piggies eat.
Be a good boy.
Show Mommy how the piggies eat.
Oh, my.
Mommy's little piggy.
