The Park

The first day of school

Before school started.   Before we left the house both nervous and excited.

Kate was actually embarrassed this year that I wanted to take her picture in class.  Can you tell?  
Cute Ella at her desk.  So excited to finally be in Kindergarten.  She whispered to me, "Mom, I used to pretend that when I went to Preschool I was going to a bigger school--now I don't have to pretend.  I am so big now!"
I'm surprised how emotional I felt saying goodbye to my girls this year. Time keeps marching on regardless of how we feel about it.  And so another year begins...  

Question?

 Q. What kind of woman does her make-up  in the public gym locker room with a mini skirt on and strappy yellow heels and NO SHIRT--not even a bra?

A.  The kind that likes to admire her double D boob job in the mirror? And wants you to admire it too?

Cabin Fun or Rain, rain, go away.

And it rained, and rained, and rained.  And rained.   The Boys put together a Treasure Hunt for the kids.  It included all sorts of hard tasks like: eating ants, licking bricks, sommersaults on muddy ground and digging up a treasure.  The only modification made was by the  girls--we decided no shovels for digging, hands only.

J offering Axel an ant to eat.  Yum.

Hey, Dan is that your car?

Addison's favorite chair.
Kate's tough too.
Like mother, like daughter.

The Children's museum

The kids finally get to ride the horse.  I just had to chew out a mom whose kid was taking his turn and then some first.  Good times.  
Little Addison Cow would not look at the camera for anything.  I even promised a carrot.  Oh, wait I think that treat is for horses.  What do you offer cows?  Cow pies?  Hee. Hee.

Yeah, Ella's tough.
