First day of Pre-school!!!!! (finally)

Can you tell it's been a long hot summer with restless kids? We were all so anxious for school to start this week.

Actually, Aubrey's first day would have been yesterday, but we didn't get back from MN until late last night. It was a short day anyway (only 1.5 hrs) so she didn't miss much. After not getting to sleep until 10:30pm, she was still up and ready to go at 7:30am. She has been looking forward to this day for a LONG time. Her last first day of preschool! Aubrey is in Pre-K this year and is so ready to learn new things. She will go four morning a week. I can hardly believe it. I love to see her enthusiasm. I hope it lasts all year!

Henry is in the Two's this year and will go two mornings a week. His first day was today, but it was a really short day. Only 45 mins and I had to stay with him! He walked right in and headed straight for the play dough. I think it was about 5 mins before he realized I was still there.

I am so excited about both of their teachers and look forward to a great year.

End of summer trip

We took advantage of some last minute airfare prices and made a quick trip up to Minnesota and Wisconsin to visit Brian's family this past weekend. Unfortunately, I didn't have room to haul my camera up there, so I only have a few pictures to share from Grandpa's camera. I am kicking myself that we didn't get a photo of the kids with all their cousins or one of them with grandma and grandpa. We all enjoyed the MUCH cooler weather. The kids loved getting to play with their older cousins and it was great to catch up with everyone. We just wish we could do it more often.

Henry's first tractor ride... in his jammies of course.

Still in jammies, watching the big kids play while wearing sister's gold shoes.

Aubrey and Tommy "relaxing" on the hammock. It's amazing no one ended up in the lake.

Bye Bye summer!

Nothing

For those of you who actually read this blog regularly, you have probably noticed a gradual decline in the number of posts. So, one of two things is happening. I have either been so busy I don't have time to write, or, I have nothing to write about. Believe it or not, I think both of those reasons are accurate. With the kids home all day, every day, this summer, I don't have a lot of free time to sit and rehash the day's events. And while our days are packed with "life", we haven't been doing much that requires me to whip out the camera. Busy, yes. Exciting, not so much. So here is a post to tell you that I really have nothing to post.

Oh wait, I lied. Henry knows one color, yellow or "yeayo." There. Something worth remembering!
