Fall is for Football

This past weekend we went to Foley’s first football game!  The girls had fun playing around, Maggie found one of her buddies from school.  Unfortunately, Maggie bit it hard while playing under the bleachers.  She banged up her knee and elbow pretty good… then she poked herself in the eye that night… the girl is a walking-accident lately – Jamie and I were almost thinking we should get her checked out!  Injuries have subsided for now, just hoping that she is going through a growth spurt and is getting used to her limbs!

Determination

Evie’s vocabulary is ever-growing, and I just love listening to her talk lately.  I keep trying to get conversations on camera, but she is not a willing participant!  Here's a little bit:

Maggie visited her new preschool room this week and “met” her new teacher who she knows pretty well from last year.  Maggie says that she’s excited but a little nervous about her new school year because she doesn’t know all the rules yet.  I’m a bad mom and forgot to get a picture…

 Since we cut back to one day per week with daycare during the summer, Evie had a hard time adjusting and saying goodbye in the morning.  We are now back to three days a week, and she seems to be doing better with the transition (though a little depressed when I leave).

Maggie’s favorite homemade meal (not counting junk food dinners) is meatloaf and Mom’s homemade cheese (a.k.a. shredded cheese purchased from the store).  One of our favorite desserts is to make s’mores in the microwave (sooo classy)… Maggie thought they were called smurfs, and so we now refer to it as smurf dessert.  Evie is all over the place with food… sometimes she’ll eat everything I make, other times she’ll eat two bites of fruit and be done for the night.  Milk and yogurt are always a pleaser though.  She always begs to have dessert along with Maggie, but usually just leaves it all on the table after one bite (not sure she’s my daughter).

Here is a video of Maggie being a sassy-pants.  Jamie often offers Maggie a quarter if she'll walk on his back, and now she thinks you need a quarter to get someone to do something...
