Last weekend, we drove to the mountains to see some fall foliage and enjoy some R and R. We got some great pictures of Lucas doing fun fall things!!! What a great time. Lucas's favorite thing was riding the Go Karts with DAD!! Crazy times...

FUN at MISS LA LA's

Lucas goes to an Art and Music Class on Wednesday!! Lucas loves Miss Lala, and I finally remembered to bring my camera today.





MT HUSBAND IS CRAZY!!! SCARF Dancing!!!!

He is BATMAN...

Well, Lucas has determined he needs to be Batman for Halloween. Now, granted, I have NO idea how he even knows who Batman is...He saw the costume in a PARTY CITY flyer and said "THat is what I wanna be." Then we started talking about super heroes and who they were. That seemed to intrigue him. We have talked about many other possibilities, however he has NOT swayed any other way. When this boy makes a decision about something, he usually doesn't change his mind about it. And furthermore, he doesn't want anyone else to try and change it for him either. He is VERY decisive about things. After we chose the costume, of course we tried it on him in the store because we had our doubts that he would allow us to put the mask on his face. Since he was a baby, he has NOT liked anything like hats or masks on his face. However, he put everything on and LOVED it. He wants to wear the costume ALL the time now!! Hilarious!! Speaking of decisiveness, after we got the costume, we walked Lucas down the birthday aisle to look at party themes/decorations. I figured his bday is in 2 months and maybe I could get an idea of what he might like as a theme for his birthday. He seemed to latch onto the idea os Scooby Doo....ok, here again, he has NO IDEA who Scooby Doo is...has never seen it or even watched a Scooby Doo show...strange huh??? I guess time will tell if he changes his mind about this. haha...Mr Independent...Instead of BATman, I'm gonna call him INDEPENDENT MAN!!! haha

Singing Lucas

Lucas loves to sing. We have been so busy with the new school year, life has been crazy. As crazy as life can get sometimes, there is nothing more grounding than hearing my sweet boy sing. He is my salvation on so many hectic days. I just love being a mom. Lucas has been moved into the 3 year old class at the Montessori School and is adjusting beautifully. When I go to pick him up in the afternoon, he never wants to leave!! We are still working on the potty training. He has just about mastered the pee-ing. He is in big boy underwear full-time, and hasn't had any accidents in several weeks. He even asks to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night sometimes! The jury is STILL OUT on the pooping, but I am not stressing about it. Justin's work has picked up a bit after a pretty hefty work slump with the economy being so crazy, however we have faith that things will improve. The Lord has always provided for us in times of bounty as well as times of need. My full-time teaching job is going very well. I am teaching 5 days a week at the college and staying super busy, but I love my job, and I LOVE the students at the college. They are so wonderful!! Here is Lucas singing his new song he learned at school. It is about catching a fish, in addition to counting!! Such a cute song.
