Back in the end of September, our Church sponored the Pack the Pantries activity again this year. Since our branch help in getting can food. I showed the kids the video from last year. The kids got excited and so this year we brought them to Chapel on 16th street and volunteered.

We were there on time but all the vest were gone. Brennan really wanted a vest. Sister He overheard our conversation and decided to let Brennan have her vest. What a great example!

We all lined up and filled the boxes in the beginning.

But the boxes get too heavy for the little kids to hold.

Cayliegh decided to push the boxes to the end of the line.

So later, Clayton found a better job: he passed the boxes to the people who is lining up.

He and Cayleigh had a blast running around and giving boxes. They could get six to eight boxes each time.

They also tried to help daddy to tape up the boxes at the end.


My big girl is so strong, she insisted to take the box out all by herself.



Brennan was outside help loading the boxes. 

Our branch supported the effect. We all had a great time.

The boys were so happy to play around and thankfully the workers were friendly and let them explore.


At the end we borrowed the vest and took some pictures as a famliy.



The last step was to wrap the plastic around the boxes and send them on the truck. The driver saw Brennan wanted to help and handed him the big roll of plastic. Brennan was thrilled to have a chance to do it. 

Of course, little sister wanted a turn also. 

And little brother of course.

After all the "REAL" work, we did let the kids go crazy and play for a little bit.

Fall is here and kids are interested in different activities. Da tried to teach Cayleigh how to ride a two wheeler. She has all the gears ready and makes sure the tires have enough air.

Still not perfect yet but she is getting there.







On the other hand, Brenna is more interested in learning how to replace the door bell and learn about the electricity stuff.



Clayton would spend time with Cayleigh at the park but really, he loves to draw more.







So one Sunday morning, he decided to draw the flower on Cayleigh's t-shirt. 

Look how serious he is and Cayleigh is his great helper.

Mama tries to let the kiddos pick what they love to do. Cayleigh is still in between violin and piano. When she sees Clayton pracitce, she picks up her violin to pretend playing along.





Clayton just started drawing class, he has asked about it for a while. I finally gave in and took him to drawing class. He is very serious and loves every minute of it.





At home, once he has free time, he sits down and draw.


This year Brennan decided to learn Saxophone. 




Looking good!!!
