Hello Fall.....

I can't tell you just how happy the Varner Family is for cooler weather and to welcome fall with open arms! We have been spending enormous amounts of time outside and we are all loving every single minute of it! So here is a preview of what we have been up to.....
Lots of sidewalk chalk and grafitti painting
One of the fabulous things about Brody being in schools is that he is finally interested in/able to draw pictures of things. I used to try to show him how to draw a stick person and it didn't work. I am proud that he can now draw a variety of things!

We have logged miles upon miles on Brody's new bike. We thought he would like his new bike but we had no idea that obsession he would have with it. He wants to be on it 24/7. Thank goodness I have a bike seat on my bike for Meg. Brody keeps telling me that we are biking so I can get some excercise since I haven't been to the Y in a while. Isn't he so thoughtful???
They see the camera and they just come a running! Meg and I were thrilled with more hand-me-downs from Cousin Macy including a ton of PJs. Meg loves all of the PJs with cartoon characters on them. So much so that we wear them pretty much all day everyday. Bryson thinks this is wrong but I just go with it!
Meg has hair (yeah!) and she loves to feel it blow in the wind. She also likes to show off where her nose is!
Meg has been watching Brody on his new bike and she is determined to be able to ride this tricycle. She is so super close too. She can get around with her feet on the ground although she mainly goes backwards, but she is trying to get the pedals down. When she gets tired and frustrated pushing it around is fun too!


Waving to the neighbors! She has the cutest wave ever!
Meg disovered this great toy in our neighbors garage tonight and just got right in. They are nice enough to let us borrow it for as long as we want it! It kept them entertained for a long time. We have great neighbors!

Awesome pics! We haven't had any of that fall weather yet, and I'm DYING for it. It's supposed to be 95 here today. Supposedly we're getting a cool down next week. Can't wait for it!

Such precious kiddos!! Sally has the same cartoon pj obsession too! She spends most days in Dora, princess or Minnie pj's. The only way I can get her to change is to give her a bath! Those silly fashion-minded girls! :)
