Roman Turns 7!
Roman turned 7 today...where does the time go? As I was putting him to bed the night before his birthday he said, "Mom, I can't wait to wear my 7 shirt tomorrow" and I said, "7 shirt?" He says, "Yeah, you always make us shirts for our birthdays." Oh, yes, yes, mommy does...TOTALLY FORGOT! I didn't have any iron-on paper or even a t-shirt...nothing. Thankfully I found some fabric crayons in the back cupboard of my scrapbooking area and a sweatshirt he was bound to outgrow (it was a size 4-5) and this is what I could come up with...Not bad huh?
We got him a Lego's watch and he was so excited
And more Lego's...the kid loves Lego's
On top of it being his birthday, it was also "Hat" day at school...it was turning out to be the best day EVER!
Happy birthday buddy! I remember the night before you were born like it was yesterday...the waiting, the anticipation...were your going to be a boy or a girl...It was so great to hear, "It's a Boy!" You are so loved! We are so blessed! Thank you for being our little Roman!
Pumpkins!
Time to carve our pumpkins and Roman has decided to use the stem as his pumpkin's nose...So clever!
Riley has decided to make a more traditional looking pumpkin...one of my favorites :)
I would just like to say, the kids didn't do ANY of this...okay, they drew the faces, but then walked away and then Todd and I made the Jack-O-Lanterns. But, since they do look cute next to the pumpkins, I'll let them take the credit.
Roman found his way back to the living room for the picture...he was MIA for most of the work...again just to make the photo look better :)
Giving his (Todd's) pumpkin bunny ears.
Todd and I enjoyed our night at the table carving out the pumpkins for our loving children and our children enjoyed watching. Good family time!
Costumes!
My friend Anna made my kids costumes this year...Roman is supposed to be the "Wolverine" from Iron Man and Riley is an Owl. We tried them on last night to SEE if they would work...Roman says he isn't sure he can wear the bottoms...we'll see come Sunday. Isn't the Owl hat so cute? I love it! It is made out of those scrubber's you use to clean your pots. When I say "YOU" I mean you...I have never used those before. :)
The Wolverine!
The Owl
Goofy boy.
The hat Rocks!
And did you notice Riley's new smile??? Her braces came off a few weeks ago...

Fall is in the Yard
It was such a great weekend weather wise! We were in the yard all weekend long. The kids made this cute scarecrow. Hope Todd doesn't mind the kids used his favorite overalls... ha!
The yard is ready for Fall!
Lastly...What do you think of this costume??? I LOVE IT! My friend Anna is going to make it for Riley this Halloween. Romo is going as a Wolverine...I post that costume soon.
Riley got her 1st Phase of braces off on Tuesday and I will post her after photo soon...She looks so grown up!
Anyone else having issues with their 1st graders??? Our Mr. Roman is having a hard time dealing with life and rules lately and I am hoping it is a phase...even though I feel this phase has been going on forever? I love that kid and maybe he is just too close to my own SELF that we are knockin heads a little this week...Wish me luck for a better week ahead!

Getting ready to head to the bus
Kids at the bus stop...Becky, Veronica, Hallie, Jack, Romo, Riley and Parker
It was a little chilly today!
Off to the bus
Have fun!
Gary, my neighbor, was making fun of me for taking so many pictures...he asked if I was going to take a picture of them on the bus EVERY year, since I just took one last Sept. The answer to that is YES!
To make him happy I snapped one of him too.
Romo in his cool classroom
Roman and Mr. Wade, his teacher

Camp Kota!
The kids went to camp the 1st week of August, called CAMP KOTA! It was a week long day camp from
8:30-3pm. They did everything campers do at camp, they swam, hiked, learned camp songs and met great friends. They loved every minute of it and asked if they could go every week next year! Each week at camp the camp has a theme day...the week Riley and Roman were there it was "CRAZY HAIR DAY". Does their hair look crazy enough??
And if you are 7 and older you are able to sleep overnight on Thurs night at the camp with all of your camping buddies. Riley was able to stay, but Roman will have to wait for his camp out till next summer.
She was so excited...Mom was a little nervous.
Thursday night of camp they have a family picnic and program. It was a great night for parents to learn all about what their kids have been doing all week.
Here is Roman's buddy, Zander and Roman with their counselor, Kaitlyn
The 3 stooges....Zander, Charlie and Romo (hockey buds)
Each group had their own skit to perform...Riley's group was up. She was so nervous. It was so funny.
They pretended they were at a circus?? and were viewing the most ugliest man (who was under the towel)...one by one they would look under the towel and run off screaming...
Riley had the giggles
Roman's group was next. They sang a cute song.
Roman getting shy now that the microphone is in front of him.
Still sporting the blue hair
Riley and Lainey, one of her good friends and one of her tent mates
Lainey has never been on a sleepover other than family...She was so excited. Her mom, Julie and I joked that we were going to do a drive by late in the night to make sure they were okay.
It was getting time for the parents to head home and leave their campers
Bye kids! Have fun! We love you!
The next day when I went to pick up Riley, she jumped in the car and said I don't want to leave. It was the best week ever! She was so happy! Roman and Riley are still talking about it and I am sure they will be for months to come. Can't wait for next year!
