Adventure playground

September 26, 2016

Happy Monday! It was a great weekend but still so hot, so so hot. I’m done with these 95 degree days and ready for some crisp, cool weather! Despite the temps, the kids and I still made it down to the new elementary school playground where they had a blast and I melted. It really is a cool playground with all sorts of fun things to climb on.

Spencer went across this spider web several times all by himself!

He was proud of himself – and I was too!

Maxwell went super high on the Eiffel Tower thing – higher than the kindergarteners are allowed to go during recess!  🙂

And don’t ask me how those two boys were making it in their long pants! It was sweltering! But, they love their long pants and I gave up that fight a while ago.

Can’t wait to play more in some fall temps soon!

Weekend ready

September 23, 2016

Who’s tired and ready for the weekend?

tired

Clearly we are! That guy had a busy week battling the dark side of the force…he also had a full week of kindergarten with an ear infection. Yep, took him to the doctor on Monday and poor guy had an ear infection. After a dose or two of bubblegum medicine, he was back to normal and didn’t miss a beat…though clearly he was a little more tired than usual.

This one also had a bit of a cold so stayed home from school on Monday but had a great day at school on Wednesday! No crying at drop off! Mrs. Laura said her personality is really starting to come through and that she’s a hoot! ha! She said you can definitely see she has no problems making her opinion known! 🙂  That’s my Tootie!

This guy is the only one that has escaped the congestion around here.

Let’s hope it stays that way!

Have a great weekend!

Friday night – out to dinner where this Tootie was being the toot of all toots! Robert and I literally ate in shifts while taking her outside. There was no sitting still going on at all!

(Yes, he’s wearing the same clothes he wore Friday. Yes, he wore them again on Sunday. No, they hadn’t been washed. Pick your battles!)

Sunday – church for these two…

Baby stayed home with a snotty nose. I knew those school germs would get her eventually!

Make it a great week!
