This fall has been a crazy transition for me. When Will was in preschool, we worked on activities at night, but it was never required and was not too time consuming. Overall, we were very relaxed and did as we pleased. Homework every night has been a real game changer for me, not to mention other activities that come into play during the week. We are in a great routine now and have adjusted to 'big boy' school life!
Will is such a smart little boy. He had some trouble adjusting, as well, but I have been so impressed with him the past few weeks. I have to say that I am blessed with a great teacher this year. Ms. Martin loves my sweet Will and does all that she can to make sure she succeeds. I have to also say that Will has matured tremendously in the past couple of months... he is still a 5 year old boy, of course, but can hold such mature conversations these days and brings up things that he has learned all of the time. He is very inquisitive and loves electronics/learning how things work. I am definitely a proud momma of my well rounded, adorable, loving little boy!
Carter is doing very well in pre-k also. He is a very loved little boy and seems to be able to talk his teacher into anything (not exactly a good thing, but... I don't blame her; he is one adorable and sweet guy!). It was tough for him when Will first went to school; even though they were in separate classes, I think he felt comfort knowing Will was always a classroom away. One bright side to separation is that they fight A LOT less now and are truly best friends again.
Now that the updates are done, here are some pictures! I have got to start taking my camera out again. The pictures are so much better than the ones on my phone, but taking just a phone is definitely more convenient!
At the end of September, Eddie's dad (Papaw Chittom) did the Rusty Wallace driving experience at Memphis Motorspeedway. It was a beautiful day and we all enjoyed watching Gary.

The man of the hour... bucket list checkmark!
The last weekend in September, the boys and I went to Booneville to see my beautiful, precious momma for her birthday. It was so much fun!
The boys and Brandon.
The Stennett ladies. Look at my beautiful momma and sisters... love these three more than words can describe. My momma looks like a sister!!!
Will had Thank a Farmer Day at his school. he was one cute farmer!!!
Eddie and I left the boys for our first out of town trip!!! Crazy that we waited this long, huh?! We went to Chicago and had a great time. Eddie's former boss from Jackson, TN is now the head groundkeeper for the Cubs. We had a tour of Wrigley Field, saw some cool things downtown and enjoyed ourselves. Thanks to the best grandparents, the Chittoms, for taking the boys to school and caring for them while we were gone!
Wrigley Field
Some awesome pizza... :)
The famous vines of Wrigley Field.
Boy, was I happy to see this sweet face when I got home! Will was not as happy, told me he wanted to live in Booneville and that he would visit us.. HA!
My nephew, Colton, turned 13 on October 3rd. He is such an amazing, mature kid and loves Chris Tomlin, so I bought us tickets for his concert at Hope on October 8th. It was his present, but it blessed me tremendously! I am so proud of this handsome, Christian and sweet nephew of mine!
Life at my house is wild sometimes with 3 boys... here is proof. It looks like Carter is flipping me off, but he is not really (as far as I know!)
I took the Thursday and Friday off for Fall Break - 10/11th so we visited a local pumpkin patch and had some fun!!!
Who would not want to sleep/cuddle with this handsome 4 year old?!
The weather was amazing a couple of weekends ago... the boys and I went to the park and enjoyed the sandbox for 3 hours :).
It is not often that my boys are still enough to have sweet moments anymore, as they get older, but this one makes their momma's heart melt. I have a picture just like this when they were 2 and 1 that I have been searching for tonight. Momma's boys always!!!
Daddy took them for some fun on the golf course earlier this month for 3 whole hours... it was like I was on vacation! HA :). Fun boys day :).
