Coming April 2015

Kindergarten and Pre-school

Finally the day arrived for Grace to start Kindergarten!!  At least that is how she would have explained it to you since she has been waiting for this day what seems like forever!!  ;)  She was very much looking forward to the day that she could finally go to school like all of her friends.  Well most of her friends as the ones she has here are her age.  

The first day was a HUGE success and she could not wait to go back!!  Even now a couple months into the school year she still loves it!!

Likewise, Eva was just as excited to finally go to school too!!  She has been asking to go ever since Grace started Pre-K last year.  The first day as we were driving to school she asked me if I was planning on staying.  I said no, thinking great here it starts she is going to cry or be scared or something.  Nope  her response to me was YES!!  Hehe ;)

I couldn't get a good one of her in her room as she was running from area to area trying to check everything out.  Thankfully I snapped a quick one of her before we went in.

After being there for a couple months I'm pretty sure she still likes it.  Usually the days she is suppose to go she never wants to but upon coming out goes on and on about how much fun she has.  On the flip side the days she has off she asks over and over if she can please go to school.  So I'm going to say it is safe to say she likes it! :)

Trying to stay cool in August

It seems like a large part of August was spent trying to stay cool in the heat.  Some days were worse than others but I feel like about half of the month involved us doing some sort of water activity.

Every year the town we live in has a beat the heat event and this year we were able to make it.  I wasn't really sure what to expect and I didn't put the girls in their swim suits.  I brought them but they decided they didn't want to put them on.  It didn't make a difference to me as I brought extra clothes with.  Anyways at the end of the event the firetruck shows up and sprays everyone.  The kids had a blast!!

Fudge pops and more water time in our backyard!

A trip to the park and the beach....

Reading can be dangerous and it is always a good idea to wear protective gear! ;)

Tante Liz was able to come for a visit again!! :)

Blueberry picking.....

I think Thor ate more than he put in the bucket! :)

A trip to the fire station to learn about fire safety and to see all of the trucks.  "Momma, truck! Momma, truck! Momma, truck!"  I can not even begin to guess how many times I heard that while we were there. :)

First Haircut!!

In August we took Eva and Thor for their first ever haircuts.  They both did a really great job!

Thor kept trying to turn his head to see what she was doing so he needed a little help from Mark!

Eva did great holding her head still however, she kept wanting to tilt her head.  Some how the lady was able to get it pretty straight.  At least she did a far better job than I would have been able to do!
