The Crisp Fall Air.....

is nowhere to be found. It's the first day of fall....it's 88 degrees. I know I'll regret saying this in January, but I'm ready for summer to be over.

I took the kids pumpkin shopping this morning. Abby had a great time picking out all our pumpkins, and then helped me do some decorating outside once H&G went down for naps. She then decided she wanted to wash the trucks, so she and Mike got busy doing just that.

Abby is thoroughly enjoying her gymnastics class. She goes every Friday for an hour, and is exhausted by the end. She runs, jumps, tumbles and laughs the whole time she is there. I'm really proud of her. She is trying things she used to be afraid of, and is doing really well. She walks and "kicks" down the balance beam by herself, and she just learned how to do a flip over the uneven bars all by herself. I can see her confidence growing - I'm hoping it will feed over to pre-school, since she stills a bit unsure about it. H&G like to go there, too....they get to play with a whole new set of toys and have fun "playing" with the other siblings that get dragged to class! I don't get to watch Abby as much as I'd like, as I'm usually chasing after H and/or G, but from what I can see, she is loving it!
