Choncho's First walk

This is Choncho's walk. First time on a leash and he did really good. He is so tiny under 2 lbs and a goer.
Branden and Anthony at the big pond along the trail and no ducks the boys were sad about that but it was so pretty. I cant believe this is in walking distance from our house it is so relaxing.
We walked and saw two class mates of Branden on the trail. It was fun to see him get so excited about friends. Anthony was happy to be out and about and seeing all the different dogs that people were walking this is one of our get out of the house exploring trails.

Due to this beautiful picture we have friends that come to our door. Meet Mr Frog he comes quite often to eat bugs in the corner of the house .This is our friend lizard and he is like "Where is Waldo" at our house we go on the back porch and see if we can spot him he is usually in the toy box or under the power wheel that the boys drive or he is sleeping on the rose bushes that Branden likes to save from the weather. This is a flower that grows on a little tree in our back yard and I don't know what it is. It is pretty to me. They open up and are there for a day or two and drop and it is fun to see these bright white flowers bloom.

Photo Shoot

Branden was having a great time as usual entertaining us so he got dressed up

in a Cowboy/swimmer/tourist type outfit
From here he took pictures around the house and this is what he came up with and these were not all of them just had to pick some to get the idea .
First we have Anthony just hangin out coloring in a new coloring book.
I like how he got a close up on what Anthony was coloring Very Nice and this Picture will not be for sale it will hang on the Mommy fridge. Next we have one of Branden's hundreds of cows on display on the counter. He did take a picture of this cow from all angles.
Next we have a tractor John Deere For sure what else would it be. Branden Loves this tractor.Then Choncho who had many photo's taken at this photo shoot and I just had to pick one Cute Choncho thanks for being so patient.
Last but not least this one is of a decoration I have in the front entry and I just picked it because it turned out pretty good. Happy Autumn!!

I thought that he did pretty good and I wish you could see the rest of them. We had a pretty good laugh watching him around the house taking Pictures in his Cowboy/Swimmer/Tourist outfit.

SCHOOL CRAFT= HELP OUT TEACHER

So the thinking cap went so well that the teacher called me at home yesterday and said that she needed help decorating her Monster Garbage Can. It is used in class. She puts a letter on the front and she turns over words on the floor and they put the words in the Monster that begin with the letter so this is the MONSTER BEFORE
Monster after the makeover Front:Monster back:
This was fun Marcus did help me with the teeth. I love making things like this and using my imagination.

Thinking Hat

Branden had to make a thinking hat for school this week. Of course mom went crazy at Micheal's and found the cute stuff to put on it. Anthony got a hat as well and we decorated it with his name and numbers and a left over chicken. Branden's hat had 1 Cow in front 2 dogs three chickens 4 ducks and 5 bee's flying on top. Shapes filling in the holes like triangle square and rectangle. This was a hat that was to review what has been taught so far in school with Math and spelling. He looked cute.

LABOR DAY FUN !!!

ATLANTAFirst Stop: JOHNNY ROCKETS for a bite to eat.

We went to this cute little diner in Atlanta it was fun. This is some of the action going on at Johnny Rockets.The cute waiter brought the kids these little bowls and made a smiley face with ketchup. He said that is a Johnny trademark. We had a lot of fun at this diner. The waiter was so cute with the boys he was a sweet little Grandpa like man. He gave the boys each a nickle to put in the jute box on our table.

Next: AQUARIUM
We went downtown Atlanta for the first time and had a blast !!! This is the Aquarium in Atlanta. it is huge two floors and a lot to see.
This is a Balooga Whale. This big guy was huge and came right to the glass for a picture. He swam away and blubber went giggling everywhere. I laughed and said I can relate with that and two ladies heard me and laughed along with me. This is yes a otter funny looking thing it was wall to wall people so no face on this otter.

So many things to see there. Fish and more fishThis is a Whale Shark and it swam right over our head. That was really neat for the kids to see.
The next place we want to check out in Atlanta is the Coca Cola Factory and the Atlanta ZOO. That is another blog and another day!!
