September

September started with Rachel's school fundraiser fun run. Megan and I went to watch her run. She's a great runner.

 She ran 36 laps that were 1/16 mile without stopping, except the occasional walking break. She did great.

 We went up Mt. Lemmon on Labor Day for a picnic. It was fun exploring and we found some fun forts and logs to play on.

 Ryan never naps anymore. Except for the occasional car nap. 10-15 minutes is all he needs and he'll still fall asleep at night.

 Megan has hit the obsessed with shoes stage. When she finds some she wants them on. She is also an outdoor aficionado these days. If anyone goes outside she MUST follow or make known her displeasure at being stuck inside.

 She follows Ryan around and does whatever he's doing, whether it's riding bikes, digging in the rocks (or filling her shorts with rocks),

 or climbing the slide or ladder.

The girl is 15 months old and climbing like a champ. Except when she has shoes on. Shoes and slide climbing don't mix.

Annie got her school pictures back. The only reason I order school pictures is for the class picture so we don't have to spend $30 at the end of the year for a yearbook full of kids my kids don't know. But Annie's school didn't do class pictures so I didn't order one. We got the proofs, though, which they send home to try to convince us to buy them.

 "Your smile has arrived!" Haha. Where? That's Angry Annie, not our typical Happy Annie. Not too disappointed that we didn't buy those. :)

Family time. :) Probably watching a quick episode of Shaun the Sheep or Penguins of Madagascar before we head upstairs to start the bedtime routine.

 Megan is happy to have joined in the Campbell tradition of ice cream scoops on Sunday nights.

 The girl likes her ice cream. But prefers her fingers to a spoon.

 We turned our loft into a tent/fort for the kids to sleep in. The first time we did this only Rachel fell asleep in there. Ryan and Annie couldn't stay still or quiet long enough to fall asleep, so they ended up in their beds. But the next morning they all got to watch PBS kids on the ipad. Fun times.

 More ice cream deliciousness.

And we've made it through September. That's progress. :)
