Back to school...

Week one of school is now over. We all made it. Tues the boys started back to school, Wednesday Gracie went to "church" preschool at our church and this Friday was Day one of Homegrown Preschool. I think all in all the week went well. The boys love the bus! Bubs has the biggest smile the second he sees his driver turn the corner every morning. Although Samuel was a little hesitant the first morning he has taken to the ride quite quickly. I think it makes them both seem a little more independent. It's a little sad to see them growing up so fast but that's what's supposed to happen, right?? Gracie's doing well with our busy schedule. Thankfully all the activity has brought a few new naps into the schedule which has been nice for mommy. So here's some pictures of the first week.

Cat tricks, water balloons, and wings

It's the last week of summer break for the boys. It's been a truly great summer. This time of year is always bittersweet for me. I will so miss those boys when they are gone but the "quiet" of just one child for most of the day is at times a nice break. I am ready for my new adventure of a preschool and excited to start some new fall events!

Besides our three trips this summer we have spent our days at the pool, the library, bowling alley, playdates, outside, and lately we have been trying to teach Bailey some new tricks. I don't really think a cat that's 13 really wants to learn these new tricks but Samuel found a book at the library that he thinks will help us teach her. We do try everyday but she doesn't seem to be such a great student.

We also try to stay cool when we are outside with water balloons...well at least Samuel and Gracie...doesn't seem to be something Bubs is so sure of...actually he HATES balloons. Well...you know they are unpredictable and he hates anything unpredictable...

So here's a few pictures of our last few days...sure has been a fun time. I am gonna miss those stinkers...every now and then when I get sad I think that maybe I should homeschool to keep them with me a little longer...but no...they need to spread their wings...and mom needs to let them.
