Hooray for School!

 

 

First Day of School today for the kids!

My handsome Connor all ready for Middle School....

 

 

 



 

Someone was not very happy about being up so early.  Thankfully this didn't last too long!

 

And here's my sweet girl ready to take on first grade!  

 

Here's to a fantastic year ahead!  I'm looking forward to watching them grow and accomplishing lots of great things!



Caroline with the sunflowers she planted in Kindergarten and with her Daisy troop.....

 

Last Hurrah!

We had some fun before school started.  Caroline's Kindergarten teacher arranged a playdate in the park for last year's students~they were VERY excited to see their friends.

 

Payton, Caroline and Sienna.

(giggling at the ladybug that landed on Payton's hand!)

 

Who's the boss?  We switched things up one day and I told the kid's that they were in charge of a "Kid's Fun Day!"  They could pick three things to do and I would happily go along. The only rules were that we weren't coming home with any new pets (smart, right??), we had to stay somewhat local and both kids had to agree on what we were doing. 

Dave & Busters was agreed upon immediately.

Connor won 500 tickets on his first game...this kid has some serious luck!

 



Happy kids:

Activity #2 was supposed to be lunch at Max & Erma's. They changed their minds at the last minute and decided to stay and have lunch at D&B's.  Since it was their day I happily went along with their plans :)

 

And lastly....activity #3 was a trip to the ice cream store.  They were sweet and said that they wanted to wait until after dinner so that Dad could join in on the fun.  All in all, a wonderful day and a tradition I'm sure we'll continue next summer!
