It must be the Halloween season. Costumes are coming on strong here. At the forefront are knights & Ironman. This suit is a bit small, but pair it with cowboy boots & you've got one little superhero. At least I think Ironman is a superhero? I'm not on the up & up with that stuff. I guess I better learn...okay, I asked the boys, & "yes," they told me, "he is on the superhero squad." It's suddenly feeling like they know more than me...
This little lady (5 days shy of 6 months) decided she could sit up yesterday, all on her own. Definitely a dose of mixed emotions. The bottom line? Too big, too quick. She's trying her best to keep up with two big brothers. I think she's succeeding.
Clearly she is excited about this newfound milestone.
& then she returns to her favorite activity of all, watching her brothers.

It's a knight-phase in this house. Swords, shields, helmets & armor. Check. Serious battles with fellow knights. Check. Or at least between brother knights. True words heard recently, "Covey, will you be my sidekick knight?" & true response, "No, I don't want to be a sidekick knight, are they bad? or they good?" A detailed explanation was given, demonstrating how Batman has a sidekick named Robin, "dontcha know?" Still no takers on the sidekick position. Covey wants to be his own knight. So be it. Two knights, no sidekicks. Unless you count Ella. She's going to be their dragon for Halloween...until then, I leave you with Sir Ry.
On Monday, my Time Capsules course came to a close. I loved it. It was exactly what I wanted. I'd tinkered with iMovie in the past, but still didn't really grasp what I was doing...& sometimes I just need a good kick in the direction I want to move. So that course did it, & more. Now I want to make videos of my kiddos, all the time. Little moments, big moments, actually any moments...enjoy~

Project 2 for my Time Capsules course. I'm in love. I registered for this course to learn to make family videos. I already have two treasures & can't wait to make more. With Ry at school, Cove & Ella fill my mornings & early afternoons. Here they are, filling today's blog post.

School. Every day, we are all learning. New adventures teach us, as do new journeys. At the moment, this journey is kindergarten. Ry started just about a month ago & loves it. Some mornings are harder to wake than others, but he's always eager to head out the door. He proudly writes his name the 'new' way- with a capital 'R' & then lowercase 'ylee.' He's also learning to read. In fact, he's obsessed with both. Brings back warm memories of pretending to write cursive- everywhere.
Because he is a full-time reader & writer, he needs to keep paper with him at all times, just in case he needs to jot some notes or draw a sketch. It's quite cute. He got these sticky notes yesterday from my parent's house, so he can write down his bits & pieces. I had a different plan in mind for this month's theme, but when he asked me how to write 'I go to school' that plan went out the window...he continued to write 'I go to school' on multiple sticky notes, which now grace our fridge. I'm happy to say he is loving kindergarten & I hope your school year is starting off positive, as well!
