Update on the Boys

Filed Under: Family, Photography

Overall Dustyn is loving school! He has had a few off days where he didn’t want to go. This is a huge adjustment for him though. He normally sleeps till at least 7:30/8 but we are having to get him up at 6:30. All Summer long he got to go to bed pretty much any time and wake up any time. We have been trying to get him in bed by 7:30/8, but sometimes he still doesn’t fall asleep till closer to 9. They do rest time at school, but not sure if he is actually sleeping. He also hasn’t been eating much of what I am sending. Even though he eats it at home he isn’t eating it at school. I am sure just adjusting to school. Hopefully as the weeks go by everyone will get in a routine and things will get easier.

Carsyn should be getting his walker in the next couple of weeks. It should get to the company on the 21st and then we have to make an appointment to pick it up. Hopefully that won’t take too long! I am hopeful that we will get it soon and he will get used to using it pretty easily. I am also hoping that he will be able to use it for Halloween and walk around. I know he would like to be a cow but I did get that superman costume and he would be so cute walking around with that on.

 

Both of these were taken with the Olympus E-PL3 Camera that they sent me to try out. Have I told you how much I love this camera?! It is so easy to carry around and just snap photos! Linking up with This Or That Thursday, Little Things Thursdays, Thankful Thursdays and Thursday Favorite Things.

    School is always such a hard adjustment. Hope Dustyn starts eating. That's a long day otherwise.

    It's tough getting into a routine. I know this well. Our grandchildren are struggling with their early mornings. I hope the walker arrives in plenty of time for lots of practice before Halloween. Your photos are beautiful ( as always) Thank you for sharing at the Thursday Favorite Things hop. Your participation helps make it a success.I'm sorry I am slow to visit this week as I am fighting a nasty head cold and my time on the computer has been limited.Wishing you a beautiful day .

    What great shots of the boys. My 3 year old is also still adjusting to kindergarten so I know what you're going through. Hang in there girlfriend. I'm popping by to visit from Katherine's linky! Cheers, Char http://1epicmom.com

    Such cuties! Love the emotion you caught in that first one.

    Oh my, we're still adjusting to school here, too. Fun times! Your pictures and boys are just beautiful.

    September 13, 2012 at 8:24 am

    It will get better! As a former Kindergarten teacher, my experience is to give it a month. It will be very routine after that. Once it starts getting dark sooner, bedtime will be easier. Love these updates and can't wait to see them in costume!

    Oh it's really hard for anybody to change their routine after the summer. I hope Dustyn settles in well at school soon. :)
  17. Tamar Strauss-Benjamin says

    September 13, 2012 at 7:54 am

    Hope Dustyn continues to adjust well! It is a huge adjustment for all kids, every year when school starts! Half the time, I notice they don't finish their lunches because they are talking the whole time (-: Hope the walker comes soon, so exciting!

Another one that needs a hair cut and he has been bugging me about it. 🤣 Didn’t really notice how long it was until I compared it to the other photo. Prestyn had a great year and has made some amazing friends. He can’t wait to start 2nd grade next year.

Carsyn went through a rough time at school, losing his best friend in the classroom, and losing one of his favorite teachers but he has done amazing adjusting.

Root check on my Thai Constellation from @tropical Root check on my Thai Constellation from @tropicalplantsusa. I got it just after Valentine’s Day. I think it is time for a repot. I’m going to wait for the new leaf to harden up and then repot it. I have been super happy with the quality.

6 weeks ago I cut off the top of my Monstera Adans 6 weeks ago I cut off the top of my Monstera Adansonii because it was very tall but not bushy. It was nerve wracking at first. I had 5 total cuttings that I put into water. 4 of the pieces had roots longer than 2 inches with some secondary roots. The last piece is still in water, it has some roots but not enough, so giving it a bit more time. Where I cut it is also making a new stem and I noticed further down it was trying to branch out in other places. Hopefully it takes off this Summer and becomes fuller looking.
Sweet pea. Sweet pea.
Freaking freezing soccer nights. 🥶🥶🥶 It Freaking freezing soccer nights. 🥶🥶🥶

It was soooo cold out there tonight even with the sun. The wind was whipping. It may have been in the 40s but the wind chill was in the low 30s. I think my face is wind burned. Annie did a great job playing tonight and was trying so hard to make a goal. The other team was short on players, so one of her teammates was goalie and did an awesome job stopping the ball. Annie tried a new strategy of holding the ball in between her feet until the other team gives up. 🤣 There is one clip of Prestyn (# 13). His games are harder to take video of cause his field is so big.
