Book Orders!

Kristin brought home some book order catalogues from kindergarten on Friday. She has been browsing at the table and circling the books she wants. Later, we'll go through her wish list with her and pare it down to reason a bit. It's been fun watching her browse. Her reading skills are advancing, and she can make out quite a few of the titles. This morning, Kellen climbed up in the chair with her and 'helped' her pick out some books.

The kids went with Danelle and I to sears this morning. We picked up some things for the lawn mower, and Kristin picked out a few long sleeve shirts for the winter. Kristin had better luck than I did, since I never did get the lawn mower to start. I think I've got it narrowed down to the carburetor, but that's will be a project for another day.

Kristin had swim lessons today. I think it was her last class since she'll miss the finale next weekend since we have something else going on. It sounds like she'll get to move up to the next level. Way to go, Kristin!

Danelle caught the great photo below of the kids having fun in the leaves yesterday.
