Teamwork

                                                       "Ready for the season, coach!"
                                                "We're working our muscles...feel the burn!"
                                                           "We're building team spirit..."
                                                       "We're thinking about our next moves..."
                                                                    "and carbo-loading!"





There aren't too many dull days at the Inouye household, and this week was no exception. Jacob had a little fever virus on Thursday so I stayed home with him. He bounced back and was fine by Friday. This kind of thing is not uncommon at daycare, but I'm glad it didn't hang around. As you can see, it didn't affect his appetite any! He loves Cheerios right now and saw the box sitting open on the island. It didn't take long for him to figure out that if he could just knock it with his hand, it would fall over and all that goodness would be his. I was laughing too hard to be mad, so I snapped a couple of photos and some video of him enjoying a few handfuls with abandon before I swept the rest up. Jacob now says "more" when he wants more food and does the hand sign for "help" so that makes things a little easier when we are trying to figure out what he wants.

Micah has been reading books about pumpkins this week and wanted to make something pumpkin-y so we whipped up some pumpkin/chocolate chip cookies yesterday after church. They were delicious! It is just starting to get cool here and is finally feeling like fall. This weekend is Manchester Pumpkin Days, a small festival with a large pumpkin patch. We usually go to this every year so we can pick out the pumpkins for the front porch and Micah can ride the horse, play the games, etc. Since Micah is having surgery to get tubes and removed his adenoids this Friday, I don't know if we will get to go this year, but we will wait and see. We've decided to have a birthday party with a few friends this year, for Micah. In the past, we've just done the family thing, but this year he's been talking about having a real party with friends, etc., so we decided it's time. It will be Spider-Man themed, since he is really into that now. Well, say prayers and wish us good luck on Friday! We'll post and update after everything is done. Hopefully Micah will have much better hearing.
