More Fall Fun

Joshua & his 3rd grade teacher

Dearest Joshua and Luke,

The fall fun continues ~ the boys had a pack meeting at a local farm.  And not just any farm, but he family farm of Joshua's teacher.  After a wonderful presentation about life on the farm from Farmer Jim, Joshua's first question was whether or not he might get to see his teacher that evening.  Believe me when I tell you that was on the mind of almost all of the kids there because his teacher is very well known as an awesome teacher!  And she is!

The boys made hot dogs in a milk carton.  It was very interesting how the hot dog cooked in the carton.  Not to mention, this was a very tasty hot dog!








Daddy worked hard this weekend at getting his deer stand ready for the season.  This is always an exciting time of year at our house.  You both got so excited about deer after seeing over 40 deer at Jefferson Barracks.  On the way back from flu shots at the doctor's office, Daddy stopped at Jefferson Barracks to get a glimpse of some deer.  And it is always once to stop by and see Grandpa Al's special burial place.  Luke came within a couple of feet of one of the deer.  Somehow I think animals can sense that Luke would never hurt them.  Animals seem to take to Luke so quickly, and he is so gentle with them.  Joshua will be a hunter like his daddy, and that's ok, too.

We also opened a savings account for the boys this weekend.  They were both so thrilled.  Miss Sheree at the bank was so good with them.  She helped them roll all of their coins into coin rolls.  Thank goodness we had help with that.  We might have been there all day!  We talked a lot about spending and saving.  We even made a general agreement that we should save half of the money we get and spend the other half if there is something we need to buy.

I love you both more than ever.

Love,
Mama
