This week Grant and I went out for ONE MORE adventure of fun before he went back to school. We called up his best buddy, Pierce (and his mommy too), and we all headed out for the day. Our first stop was lunch at a yummy burger place:
Then we were off to Funderland:
This is a fun little place that we haven’t been to in a couple of years.
Grant and Pierce got unlimited ride wristbands and literally RAN from ride to ride!!
I think they had a pretty good-last day of summer fun!!
Do you remember playing with “slim” in preschool or kindergarten? The one that could be squishy, or hard. Well, my kids decided to play mad scientist and make their own version. After about and hour of fun, this was the final results:
The season has “officially” begun. We will be spending our Saturdays on the soccer field. Emma is playing with the same team that she just finished indoor soccer with. So hopefully they will have a great season—Go Cheetah’s!!
Before the game:
(Jamie is going to ref this year-so he got a cool whistle and t-shirt)
Practicing her smile for pictures!
Playing her favorite position-goalie!
After the game-they won 5 to 0!
This morning as I was dropping Emma off at school, we were in the line of cars to get into the school waiting at the crosswalk. A group of about 8 kids walked across the street with one adult. Grant says, “Mom!! Are ALL those kids’ that lady’s?” I said, “No, she runs a daycare and she is walking them all to school.” His response, “Oh, I’m glad I don’t go to daycare………..” (here is where I thought there was going to be some heartfelt comment about how much he loves staying home with me-think again)……. “Daycare is mean. Like in Toy Story 3 when all the kids are beating up the toys.”
Wow, warms your heart right?
Emma started 2nd grade today!! We have had such a fun, and busy summer, I thought that she wouldn’t be excited about going back. But she laid all of her stuff out last night, and woke up bright and early this morning.
Emma-7 years old (2nd grade)
We drove to the O’Donnell’s house to park, and walked to school with a few friends.
Paused at “our tree” (meeting spot after school) for a few quick pics.
The boys had to get in on the action too!!
And Daddy went into work late.
In the FRONT ROW of the class!!
And Grant found the teachers pointer in the corner-and pretended he was THE KING!! (this will not come as much of a surprise for those who know Grant well).
We hope you have a great year Emma!!
