Parkview Fall Festival 2010

Nathan's school had their Fall Festival along with Parkview church hosting Trunk or Treat so we all had a grand time and came home with quite the loot, sugar for Nathan and Noah and chocolate for Mommy!

Fire Party Fun

The weather is just cool enough now to build an evening fire and roast hot dogs and marshmallows. I even bought some dark chocolate for the boys and they both had smores for the first time. Yum!

Hat Day

Friday was hat day at school since they were learning the letter "H". Nathan wanted to wear his NY Yankees cap his Grandaddy One gave him and of course he knew how to be cool and went to school sporting it backwards.

Blue Bank Suckers

I've written before about how the teller at the bank knows Nathan and his love for blue suckers. Well, now little brother is in on the treat now too. He knows what Nathan has and wants one too so I decided to let him have one this week. By the time he got through with his sucker he was blue from head to toe.


And landed right in the tub even before lunch!

Soccer Fun

Soccer season has come to an end. It was a lot of fun. Shane and Nathan both learned a lot about playing and had a lot of fun. Monday night was his last game and then a team pizza party afterwards.

Lincoln Log Days

Shane put up a different picture from his phone on Facebook this week but here's the first of our Lincoln Log builds. Nathan really gets into something and plays with it for a while then he will move on to something else and come back to it later. Several days this week he and I built things together with his Lincoln Logs. Sometimes it's fun to be a kid and do things like this again. Lincoln Logs has also been the first (of many things I'm sure) that he plays with and we have to keep away from Noah because he works hard building it and wants to play with it for a while but Noah just wants to smash it.

The Backyard Disc Golf Course

It seems that every day Nathan wants to go outside and throw Frisbees. He is slowly but surly starting to call them “discs” instead of the name brand “Frisbee.” But for some reason he thinks that only some of them are discs and some of them are Frisbees so you get statements like, “I’m going to take the blue disc one.”

Anyway, we have made a semi-permanent course in our back yard. It is pretty tough for Nathan, but he normally makes it in about 16 shots a round. As you can see we have added numbers and tee boxes this week.

 

Check out his form. This is the “step throw” technique that we are working on this week.
