Lia has gotten bit by the baking bug. This summer she started getting into the kitchen to whip up something she found on Pinterest. She mainly focused on cupcakes. She did not want any help from me. The first couple of batches were okay, but the more she bakes the better she gets. Here she is making brownies. She got the vanilla and lemon flavoring mixed up. So we enjoyed some lemony, chocolate brownies. They were actually pretty good! </div>

The kids have been begging to set Ian's tent up so Ian and Chris got it up yesterday. The kids spent most of the late afternoon and evening playing in it. They had grand plans to sleep in it last night, but the heat was too unbearable so they decided to come inside. They are looking forward to the fall to try again.</div>

We are studying American History this year, so I researched and found an art book about Great American Artists. The book features a brief description of an artist and their particular art specialty. Today we learned about John Singleton Copley who was a painter who specialized in portraits and narrative paintings. The assignment for the day was to draw a narrative drama. Ian and Lia's drawing reflect our talks about the explorers and the native Americans.</div>

Chris took Ali out today to practice riding her bike without training wheels. She has zero balance. She was already tired, so it probably wasn't the best time to try. She gave it a go though. More practice to come.</div>

The kids performed their first science experiment today on electricity. Thank goodness, the science teacher was in the house! This mama is going to be re-learning a ton of science this year. Ian was in heaven and asked a million questions. Chris didn't mind though, he enjoys teaching and he loves science too. I'm not sure Lia got much out of Chris' lecture, but she had fun showing Ali how her lightbulb lit up.</div>

It was so nice having Chris home today so he could help teach and be a part of our day. <br />
<br />
Ali will still be attending preschool at May River Montessori this year. She starts next week. <br />
<br />
Today went well. It's going to take a few weeks to get in a groove and figure out our routine. I'm looking forward to learning along with the kids. I am hopeful Ian and Lia will grow closer together and that we will all make lots of fun and happy memories.<br />

Back in the early part of July I signed up to run the Savannah Rock 'n' Roll FULL Marathon. I was so pumped. Since I was starting my training 4 months out and the race was close to home, I figured this would be the perfect race for me to reach my goal of running a full marathon. I was on track with my training and was up to a 13 mile long run. Then we traveled to Arkansas for two weeks to visit family and friends and I couldn't run. The heat was miserable. When we got back home, school started and our schedules became busy again. I also really wanted to continue my women's bible study on Thursday mornings and I knew this would take away some time for running. So I decided to just focus on running the 1/2 marathon instead. I still want to accomplish my goal of running a full marathon one day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
After one of my runs in mid August, Ian commented to Chris that he did not think Chris would be able to run the race. Of course, after that, Chris went and signed up so he could prove Ian wrong. At that time, I was still thinking I was going to run the full marathon so Chris signed up for the full too. Even though he has never even ran a 5K! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
We both ended up running the 1/2 and it turned out to be a fun race. The course was not as pretty as I expected, but for the most part it was flat and that was perfect for me. They had water, bagels and bananas before the race and lots of goodies after the race as well. Chris helped me keep a faster pace than I thought I could and I ended up finishing within a minute of my PR. I think Chris was a little disappointed with his time. However, he didn't really stick to his training plan and only half trained. I know if he works a little harder he will be able to cut his time down quite a bit.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

Chris' official time was 2:17 and mine was 2:20.</div>

Disney World was so much fun! We left Sunday morning and got to our campsite in Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort by early afternoon. We got our camper set up and then did a little exploring around the campground. You should have seen all the Halloween decorations. It was amazing what people brought with them to decorate their campsite and golf carts. Sunday evening we took a bus to downtown Disney. We ate dinner at the Rainforest Cafe, did some shopping at the huge Disney store, and checked out the Legos store. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Monday morning we woke up to rain. Thankfully, we were prepared and had brought rain jackets with us. We got soaked on the boat that took us from the Fort Wilderness Resort to Magic Kingdom, but the rain didn't last long. By the time we took our family picture in front of the castle it had passed. Since it was raining so hard when we left our camper, I decided not to take our nice camera with us for the day. So most of our Magic Kingdom photos were taken with my phone and are not the best quality. Anyway, we played at Magic Kingdom then went back to our campsite so the kids could change into their Halloween costumes. Then we headed back to Magic Kingdom that evening for Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween party. </div>

Tuesday we started the day at Animal Kingdom. We had a great time on the <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px;">Kilimanjaro Safari. We also rode a fun water ride and roller coaster. In the afternoon we headed over to Epcot. Ian says his favorite park was Epcot. He is such a little nerd. :) We rode some space ride that made me sick. Of course everyone else loved it. For my birthday dinner we ate at Tutto Italia in the Italy section of the World Showcase. After dinner, we saw Hanson performing their famous MMMbop song in an open arena. That was a surprise and it was fun to dance around a little.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px;">We went to Disney's Hollywood Studio's on Wednesday. We rode the Hollywood Tower of Terror, which I don't care to ride ever again. My favorite ride was the Aerosmith Rock 'n' Roller coaster. It was a blast! We saw a couple of little shows - Beauty and the Beast and The Little Mermaid. Then we rode a fun Toy Story ride that was like a big arcade game. We ate lunch at a DisneyJr. Play 'n Dine restaurant. After lunch, Chris took Ian and Lia to an Indiana Jones show and I hung out with Ali while she napped in the stroller. Then we took a tour of the back lot. Since it was our last day, we decided to head back over to Magic Kingdom to see the parade and to get a few more autographs from the Disney characters.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px;"><br /></span></span></div>

The bathrooms were always clean and there was one close whenever you needed it. We rarely had to wait more than 10 minutes for a ride and the weather was perfect. Except for the short rain on Monday. </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px;"><br /></span></span></div>

We had gone into the little store at the entrance to Magic Kingdom and Ian and Lia spotted the autograph books. They each picked one out and I picked a pink princess one out for Ali because she was sitting in the stroller and was not paying attention to what Ian and Lia were doing. Chris paid for the books. The check out lady put each book into its own bag for the kids since it was still raining a bit outside. Chris handed the bag to Ali. When she took the book out of the bag her little face just lit up and she oohed and aahed over it. It was so sweet.</span></span></div>

Chris and I were sitting outside our camper on our last morning drinking coffee and he said he was not expecting to like Disney World. He had just told himself we were doing it for the kids. Well, that turned out not to be the case. :) There is so much we couldn't get to and we are looking forward to our next trip!</span></span></div>

Oldfield held a Halloween breakfast and hayride at the sports club this morning for all the kiddos. My mom made Lia's witch cape and skirt. She is just amazing! I love it! She also made Ian's black cape awhile back. The kids loved the makeup. They were so excited to get all made up and scary. :) Chris did Ian's face.

We met back up with Chris and the kids after the Country Living Fair. We walked around Stone Mountain and took a train ride. We then grabbed a patch of grass and put our blankets out so we could watch the laser show later than evening after dinner. It was a great fall day! <a href="http://gallery.me.com/christymaemurphy/100130">Here </a>are all the pics.</div>

Way back in the spring, I saw an advertisement for the <a href="http://www.countryliving.com/cl-fair/country-living-fair-2010">Country Living Fair</a> that is held at <a href="http://www.stonemountainpark.com/">Stone Mountain Park</a> in Atlanta, Georgia in October. I was so excited that we lived close enough to go! Chris booked us a camp site in the park and my parents planned to come visit so my mom could go with me to the fair. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Things didn't quite work out as planned though. My parents decided to come visit at a later date and Chris' truck was in the shop this past weekend. So, we were not able to take the camper and ended up staying in a hotel instead. It was kind of a bummer because the weather was gorgeous and Stone Mountain would have been a great place to camp. Guess there will always be a next time. :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I enjoyed looking at all the fall decor and the amazing decorations done by Country Living magazine. Chris and the kids came to the fair briefly, but Chris ended up taking them to the top of Stone Mountain while I looked around at all the vendors. I was thankful Chris gave me the chance to look around in peace, but I really wished my mom or sister could have been there to look with me. I had a cold too and was not feeling like my usual self. Chris' parents had traveled to Atlanta too, so I met up with them a few times while checking out all the goods. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I bought a pillow for our bed and a shirt that says, "camper chic". I don't think I was in a great mood for shopping. But, I did enjoy going and I even saw the editor of the magazine and The Fabulous Beekman Boys. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
These are some of my favorite pictures from the fair. You can see all my pictures <a href="http://gallery.me.com/christymaemurphy/100122">here</a>.</div>

During the last month or so, Lia and Ian have been participating in the 1/2 marathon challenge at their school. They have been logging miles during recess and running club. Today, they completed their last mile and received a finisher medal. I am so proud of them! Lia kept a great pace the whole time and finished strong. I ran one lap with her and she was booking it! The third graders ran with the 4th and 5th graders and Ian placed in the top 10. I think he might be a natural. :) </div>

Ali turned 3 years old today! My sweet baby girl is no longer a baby. Ali loves to pretend that she is a puppy. She even has a certain way she holds her hands to make them look like paws. If you are not doing it correctly, she will tell you. :) So, a puppy party it had to be for her 3rd birthday. She has been so excited about her party and has been asking every day for a week, "it's my party today?". She was giddy when her friends started arriving and she wanted to hand out the goody bags when they left. The weather was beautiful and her party was a big hit!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I got the idea for the balloons on a string, the puppy cupcakes, and the puppy dog food from Pinterest. Love that site! On one of my trips to Target, I got lucky and found the adorable "I love Puppies" shirt and cute skirt. Ali hardly ever lets me put her hair up. But, today I told her she really needed to have "puppy ears" for her party. It worked!</div>

The second and third graders at Okatie Elementary presented a musical show tonight called Okatie Salutes America. Ian and Lia were so excited to sing the songs they have been working on over the last few weeks. They have been practicing often at home. Both grades sang the Star Spangled Banner and My Country Tis of Thee together. The second graders sang The Fifty United States Song and Yankee Doodle. There were hand motions that went along with the songs too. Then the third graders sang Proud To Be An American and Grand Ol' Flag. The students did a great job!</div>

Ian turns 9 on Wednesday, so we celebrated his big day last night and this morning. He had two friends, Luke and Cameron, over for pizza, cake, mini golf, and a sleep over. I think Ian was a little bummed about not having a big party with lots of friends (i.e., gifts), but this morning he told me he had so much fun and wanted to do the same thing for his party next year. Sure love that handsome little man! You can see all the pictures from Ian's party <a href="http://gallery.me.com/christymaemurphy/100105">here</a>.</div>

Ian and Lia attend karate in a neighboring town called Ridgeland. It was once named Gopher Hill, after the gopher tortoise. Each year the town has a fall festival called the <a href="http://www.gopherhillfestival.org/history.asp">Gopher Hill Festival</a>. Today the kids from <a href="http://dunamiskarate.com/default.aspx">Dunamis Karate</a> performed a demonstration at the festival. Ian and Lia were both a little nervous. They recently moved up to the intermediate class and had to learn a new routine in a short amount of time. They did great and made it through the routine just fine. </div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Our neighbors, Meghan and Todd, recently welcomed baby Fiona to their family and we attended a couples shower for them last night. I was inspired to get my sewing machine out for the first time since we moved here last fall so I could make them some bibs, onesies, and burp cloths. I found the adorable pink tulle skirt and pink pants at Target.</div>
