Pieper September October November

Makes cards for everyone.
Draws pictures and writes.  From the tooth fairy to our neighbor.
Likes school but she wishes she didn't have one boy in her class as he tends to get in a lot of trouble.
Likes taking the bus but doesn't like how long it takes her to get home.
Says she has made all kinds of friends but doesn't know their names.
Doesn't like to read as much this year.
Has homework every night.
Wants to be in dance.
Has started pretending to read much bigger books, they must have chapters.
Is excited to see her cousins.
Loved hosting Thanksgiving.
Loves having people come and stay so she can 'give up' her room for them.
Her spelling is improving, especially since mom realized that we were supposed to be spelling all of the words not just practicing.... :)
Love to make pictures for Peter.   He has several dragons.
Really liked decorating her pink Christmas tree in her room this year.  Yep, she has one.
Has grown too tall for most of her pants again...
We cut her hair after Thanksgiving.  She loves that it doesn't take as long to comb now.
Still goes through several outfits on the weekend. Not so much during the week.  No time!
Want to be a Vet when she gets bigger.  She is already wanting to go collage for it. We keep telling her she has to finish 1st grade first.
Asks why she can cry when she is laughing sometimes... her father has asked me this same question since he met me.
Will ask if there is anything she can do for me, especially if I am 'having a moment" :)
She is the most thoughtful child and works very hard at being a good person.  Guess that is why she wanted to be the Lone Ranger for Halloween!

Scary Pieper

 Pieper got to do it too!

Rock star day!

Pete September

 Had fun moving rocks in the driveway!!

Hay ride for school

Is excited to go to school on Tuesdays, he hasn't ever gone on that day.  Four year old class meets 4 times a week.
When Jeff was traveling he told me he needed to watch a Ninja Turtles program to "learn new moves to wrestle with Daddy."
Will yell when he gets upset.
Still gets upset when Maleficent dies, he is a bit soft hearted.
Knows a lot more names of shows and lego things now that he played 'them' with his cousins in Iowa, of course he seems to think he needs all of them at home.
Likes to have pokey hair now, his mama loves that.
Makes up silly names for his drawings or creations. He learned that from Pieper I am sure.

October and November....in the house.

Still gets cold induced asthma...
Has started playing a lot of zombies...(bummer) because his best friend at school plays all those crazy games.  He uses quarters and other change for his zombies and a dinosaur to eat them... I guess there is still some originality there.
Is 100% boy all the time.
Has started walking to do what you ask him to do, which would be great but he walks at his own speed and that is no where near how fast he plays...nor as fast as we would like it to be.
Wants to be "not telling you" when he grows up. :)
Favorite color is still blue. That is why we were a blue ninja turtle.
Best friend at school is Joey and Addalyn.
Pete just came up and told me "It was your imagination that I just ate a cookie"  Of course I gave him another one since he didn't really have one.
Makes me laugh every day.
