Fall fun for the Drapp family...

Fall is my most favorite time of the year!  I love the crisp air, fall sports and of course Halloween.  This fall Grayson played soccer with a group of his best preschool buddies.  He dominated the field and we had to start rewarding him for passing the ball to his friends instead of scoring all the goals.  Grayson is a fast and very aggressive soccer player, we are always excited to watch him play!

 Owen started flag football.  This was a first for us, he loved it and was a really strong player.  We are very proud of him!

We had a Halloween themed birthday party for Owen and Grayson this year.  It happened to be 90 degrees that day so our costume party theme seemed a little hot but the kids still had fun.  

 We went to Spencer farms for our annual pumpkin picking and hayride....

 Owen had his first field trip to a pumpkin patch...

 Leo also went on a field trip to the mini pumpkin patch that the school created on the preschool playground...

 And Grayson had a field trip to Russell Farms...

 We raked a ton of leaves in our backyard...

 Carved our pumpkins...

 Celebrated real birthdays...

Explored the neighborhood decorations...

 Dressed up several times in costume...

 Went on tons of bike rides to see the colorful leaves changing....

 I ran the Indianapolis half marathon and got my best time yet.  1:58.  Here is a picture of my mom, sister and I celebrating at Rosie's Place...

Grayson is an owl and Leo is a butterfly

We had to document Leo and Grayson's first day of school too.  This year both boys will be going to Northview.  Leo goes two morning a week and Grayson goes 3 mornings a week.  This is Grayson's last year at home so I wanted some extra time with him.  

Grayson LOVES school!  He really likes just being with his friends, probably not so much the school part.  He has been with in the same class with his two best buddies JD and Rory since they were 22 months old.  So his first day of school went smoothly, I am pretty sure he hardly said goodbye to me at the door.

 But he did miss Leo...

Leo on the other hand was not as happy to leave me.  He held on tight and screamed at drop off.  Talk about breaking my heart just a little.  Luckily he has the sweetest teachers, the same ones Grayson had at his age so I knew he was in good hands. 

We love our preschool!!
