Busy Busy

So the last few weeks we have been keeping busy. Mason has been going to preschool on Tues and Thrus ams, but will be changing to the 4 year old class that goes on Mon,Wed and Fri starting next week. I kind of wondered if he would be a little bored in the 3 year old class, since he is technically 4, but I figured I'd let the teacher make that call. She said he is a big helper and just kind of goes with the flow, but she can see how he might get really bored the more the year goes on. Starting next monday he will be going three days a week, which just means a little more running for Mallory and I. I have no doubt he will love it and will adjust just fine. Now that only leaves me 2 free days a week. Guess this is slowly breaking me in for when he is in kindergarden and goes every day and I can't just up and run when I want to, that has been really nice.

Will just share a few pictures from the last week or so.

Little Miss Elise and Mallory. Not quite sure why Mallory doesn't look very happy, but was the only photo of the both of them I got looking at the camera. Elise is the one we think Mallory favors, however, Mallory is starting to favor Aunt DD more and more every day.. haven't figured out if that is a good thing yet or not!! (Just kidding.. you know I Love Ya DD )

Elise really likes to 'clean' and Mallory is in her 'Stick'em up' pose

The imfamous race track from Uncle Troy that Mason has to play with every time we are at Granny B's... and he is even sharing with Elise (surprise surprise)

So we weren't busy last Wed and thought it might be a fun trip to go up to Spencer to see the

This is one fair I've never been too and have heard great things about, so we were off on the road trip for the day (see what I mean about being able to jump in the car and go somewhere on a whim). It was about a 2 1/2 hr drive to get there. And it wasn't a great time. A fair I will definitely go back to next year and make sure the rest of my family goes too. And they even had their version of my favorite Iowa State Fair food......

Aren't we thankful that technology has progressed to where it is today?!?!

They had a HUGE Dekalb booth



They had the whole farm of animal 'heads'...

He was really trying to get that to go down

So I really missed the good photo opp, as right before I took this photo, that goose with the bright scarf on, pecked Mason in the nose!!!

Mallory loves to make her Piggy Face.. as did Mason at this age

One of my favorite outfits I found at a consignment store while visiting my sister in Chicago. I love this outfit.. its still a little big, but I still love it!!!

Haven't figured out why it is so hard to get BOTH of them in a photo AND have them both looking at the camera?!?!?!

A couple weekends ago, Mason's friend Ryan had a birthday party at an Indoor playground type place, and both kids had a ball!!!

So last friday we went to the zoo.. and it RAINED!! It was only really misting here and there the whole trip down there, but once we got to Des Moines and got out of the car, it picked up just enough to make you more then just a little wet. Mason still had a good time
