catching up

It's been awhile since I last blogged. It's been crazy busy over here in the Iwanski household! With the start of school, came after school activities...dance, karate, girl scouts, and not to mention PAC meetings and homework! Today, I actually have a day to catch up! Catch up on my blog, catch up on laundry, catch up on housework, you get the idea!

Fall has really hit the Northwoods the last week or so. We have been spending time outdoors when we can. Last weekend we went hiking through the trails at the YMCA and Buck lake. The kids enjoy this simple activity and they especially enjoyed the hot cocoa afterwards!

We have also been spending some time crafting. I actually made two super cute fall projects that I found on pinterest. I don't know if I am more happy at the outcome of the project or just the fact that I actually had time to finish them! The kids had a blast glittering pumpkins!!! Oh yeah, we brought out the glitter!

School is going well for both kids. Kendall's school has started a positive behavior program where each week when you are showing one of the 4 B's (be respectful, be here, be responsible, and be safe) you earn a Hodag paw that goes in a drawing for a prize. We are so proud of Kendall! She received 4 Hodag paws this week. She told me she has opened doors for people, helped friends on the playground, and turned in her work on time. That's my girl!

Max is adjusting to 1st grade well. He has started spelling homework and has gotten a 100% on all three of his tests! Way to go Buddy! This week his class went to the apple orchard and I was lucky enough to chaperon. We had a nice time except for when that darn bee stung Max in the nose! He took it like a trooper! It was so nice to see all his friends concerned for him and making sure he was okay.

Jeremy and I had a date night the past weekend!!! Jerm's sister and brother in law came up and we had a nice dinner at Holiday Acre's. The scallops were delicious and the best part was No KIDS WERE THERE, which meant there were no chicken nuggets or french fries on the table! It's the simple things really!
These beautiful jack be little's were grown in our garden!

My fall tulle wreath - it looks great on my door
