Love Fall!

Fall has been a great time for us so far even though it doesnt feel like fall here at 85 degrees! Owell that makes it even more enjoyable I guess. We have been super busy with many activities during the week and soon to add all the fun Halloween/Fall activities on the next 3 weekends. Ryan started back up in her speech therapy 5 weeks ago and already has shown great improvement again! She is so excited to be speaking more clearly. When she gets a new sound correct she lights up. Im so proud of her for how hard she works at her speech. The girls and I joined BSF (bible study fellowship) on Tues mornings and all of us love it! The girls talk about their classes all week and cant wait to go again. I spend almost an hour 3-4 nights a week studying my lesson because I enjoy it so much! Wed nights the girls and I go to church for sunday school classes which they love too! They get to be in the same class together which they think is so special. Bekah loves being big enough to go on Wed nights since 2 yrs olds arent technically aloud but since she is potty trained they are letting her come too. Apparently, she even sits still which I find very hard to believe. Ive never seen her sit still for more than 3-4 min at a time! I guess it is the environment. Thurs mornings all 3 kids and I attend story time at the library. That is not my favorite activity, but the kids really like it. If I could get rid of something library would be it. However, they do learn a lot and love it so I guess Ill keep sticking with it. Wed and Fri mornings we have school at home. Bekah has officially started the curriculum I made up for Ryan at the same age. She loves it! I never thought she would start as young as Ryan did, but she was asking and showing some signs she was ready to do more than we were. Ryan has really come a long way on her phonics and has begun to read some words. Weve been very slowly working on some stuff without her really knowing it and when I realized some of it was finally sticking it made me feel pretty good to be honest. It is so neat watching your own child learning to read. Very rewarding! It took me a while of trial and error to figure out how she wanted to learn to read, but I think for know what we are doing is helping her. She is also doing her Kindergarten Saxon Math and loves it! She is flying through it as well. We did her assessment last week to make sure she was ready to move on and afterwards she told me this was too easy! I guess she is more of a math brain. That's my girl!! On Sundays, we attend church in the morning and a small group in the evenings. All this to say, we are having fun doing a little bit each day but not too much. Since we've begun all of these activities the girls behavior at home has been much improved. We were home way too much this summer and I think they were getting bored. The rest of this month should be a lot of fun as we go to the pumpkin patch, 3 halloween events, the train show, and zoo boo!
