The last weekend before school started we make the journey up to SR to visit family. On the way we took a minor detour and got to meet Julia, and visit with Vera, Toby and Dani! While in SR we had such a great time with Nana, Poppa, and The Marty Family. We also had a wonderful visit with Grammy and Grandpa, and Auntie Carrie!
Once back on our home turf we had a couple of days to play and prepare for the BIG first day of school! Kaylee was more than ready to start Kindergarten with Ms. Ashcraft and Cienna was excited to get back to learning in 2nd grade with Ms. Ahrens! It has been fantastic so far. And both Back to School nights are under our belt.
Meanwhile, soccer season was approaching and Daddy and Mommy were getting certified for refereeing and coaching. We also got to help Jamaica celebrate her Birthday, which was a great reason for a water slide. We have made progress on our outdoor sink (things take time). And there have been many plays and productions put on by the girls at home!
Cienna will be bridging to brownies, and since we couldn't decide on which bridge to use, the troop leaders' husband made one and all the girls pitched in and got to paint it together at a bridge painting party. The next day was opening day for Fall soccer. Both girls had so much fun playing and can't wait till the next game! This last week was the school book fair and each girl got to bring their own money to school when it was their classes turn to go. We almost witnessed a helicopter landing at Heartwell Park for a local event while on a family run, just missed the actual landing, but we stopped for a second so the girls could check it out.
Cienna was very excited to finally get some homework and always does it first thing! She has been enjoying making up stories and trying to direct Kaylee to act them out. She has finished writing, typing, and illustrating her own book that she has been working on the majority of the summer. It is now on the computer and just has to finish putting it all together. She continues to enjoy gymnastics and is very excited about her new soccer team The Green Seaweed!
Our little Kindergartner also loves homework and is 2 weeks ahead with it already. She is on target with her star reader lists and is happy to have turned them in every day! She made a card for June and Grace and decided that she was going to mail it to them. So we learned how to address and stamp and put it on the mailbox all on her own. She has enjoyed the Clavinova that we got to take home from Nana and Poppa and is currently learning Twinkle Twinkle. Kaylee doing great with soccer on the Purple Unicorns with Mommy as coach, but still think that she likes the snacks the best!
