September Fun

     Wow! It has been a long time since I have posted any updates. It's a shame too, because I love looking back at all the old posts. I thought since September was such a busy month, I should start there!
     We started off the month running! School was in full swing and we needed to get ready for Pie Festival. This was our first year running the kids games. We helped make and bake pies. Then, we helped with a fundraiser the night before Pie Festival.

The day of Pie festival was a whirlwind! Josiah started us out by running in the Pi-K (3.14 miles). He did an amazing job.  He ran it on 32 minutes. This was his first time running that distance all at once! Next year we are going to train for it.
    Next up were the Kids Games. Jada got first in every game for her age group. Also, Juliet and Jada placed first in the three legged race. They had been practing for that for months. They did amazing.
     We ended the day with dinner at the festival. It was a long day and a lot of preparation, but it all went well!  
     This month we also started meeting a group of other kids at the park. Our first meeting was a huge success! We have one more meeting before the end of the month.
     We took our annual vacation this month too! We visited The Museum of Natural History, Planetarium, Zoo, Aquarium, Bugarium, Chucky Cheese, and McCalls Pumkin Patch! It was a jammed packed weekend, but we had a blast! The kids are getting old enough now that these trips are becoming easier!

      We are expecting baby Love Birds at the very end of this month! We should start seeing them hatch the very last two days of September!

     Phew! September is a very busy month!
