Behind... yet again!

Well, after my last few posts, I think I got 'blogged out' so now it's time to get caught up!  A lot has happened in the past month!  Noah started Kindergarten, I started a new job, and of course lots of fun events mixed in there, too!!!  I'll do this in a few parts again.....

Going back to Thursday July 26th... we had 'Meet the Teacher' day at school.  For Noah, it was really 'Meet the TeacherS' day since the kindergarteners don't know who their teacher is on their first day of school.  So we went and got a good look at the school and he met all the Kindergarten teachers and just got really excited in general.  

Just to explain how it works, they do a 'staggered entry' for the Kindergarteners.  So the first day of school for Grades 1 - 5 was Monday, July 30th and the kindergarteners go one day that first week for an evaluation day.  Noah's day was Wednesday.  Then on Friday, August 3rd, we found out who his teacher is and all the Kindergarteners started on August 6th.

Reading books in the Media Center

Kylie is ready to go also!

That Friday was my last day home with the kids before Noah started school and I started a new job so we decided to have a morning at the movies.  We went to see Brave which was so cute!  Here they are after the movie having a snack and "playing" the games at the theater.  :-)

That evening, we had a nice dinner with the Hombergers and I got this adorable shot of Abby, Noah and Kylie.  :-) 

Fast Friends

Noah wanted me to take this picture as we were leaving the parking lot  :-)

That weekend, we actually had no plans which is almost unheard of for us - so I sent an email to a few people in the neighborhood to see if they would be at the pool that weekend.  That somehow turned into a pretty big potluck and really, a big party down at the pool!  We decided to grill some lunch but that turned into ordering pizza for dinner also!  So much fun.

Stephanie has great form.  :-)

On Sunday, the kids were asking for Nana and Grandad so we called them and they hopped in the car and came to visit!  That ended up with a trip to the mall to get the kids new shoes and we had to have an ice cream treat to thank Nana and Grandad!

That evening, the kids and I went to watch Waylon play basketball.  He's been playing in a league with some of the other guys in the neighborhood but usually the games are pretty late.  That Sunday, the game was at 7 so we decided to go watch him play.  They had so much fun and kept screaming 'GO DADDIES!'  :-)
