It's been a week of firsts!

Well, obviously it has been a big week of firsts.  Monday, Kierstin went to the dentist for the first time.  We found out that she is cutting 4 molars!  Uh, huh.  You should feel bad for us.  Kaden and Kyra had NO CAVITIES!  How that happened, I have no idea.  

And then on Tuesday Kaden became a Bear in Scouts and received lots of awards which he is very proud of.  Kimball moved into 12 year old Scouts and, drum role please, the Young Men program at church.  Makes me feel old!



(Another little thing happened on Tuesday night about some black guy and the white house.)









And then today!  The wind and the leaves and all the kids.  Kierstin had her very first experience with playing in piles of leaves, or should I say one gigantic magical pile of leaves!  Kyra had a new friend with us for the afternoon, making everyone have an enjoyable day.  If one child is left out, then no one can really have a good time, unless you get really good at ignoring the whining.  


It was a beautiful Fall day with a nice breeze, strong enough to blow down a good 1/3 of our leaves...oh, there are so many more.  We made cookies and enjoyed this playful day without one word from me about how many bugs there must surely be in that pile of leaves.  I kept my mouth shut while they laughed!

And now, they are all sleeping!
